A Schumacher who finished every single race that season on the podium, boring the utter hell out of TV viewers
I'm mid-1990s Schumacher, which was much better. 1995 was a better year for everything.

Ayrton Senna after his 2nd Suzuka collision with Alain Prost.
Re: Who Became World Champion the Year You Were Born?
Alain Prost (1985)
The year I was born. F1 related '85' stuff:
Sadly, Winkelhock and Bellof both died that year
Niki Lauda retired for the second and last time
A team called Minardi entered Formula 1
Alan Jones made his comeback,
Australia (Adelaide) made its debut on the F1 calendar.

Miserable Thierry (Boutsen) staggers round mostly on ten cylinders (out of 12) with no clutch, low oil pressure, bad brakes and no grip to finish tenth, 3 laps down...
(Murray Walkers review of Boutsen's Brazil 1991 race).
Thats a point these days!

Re: Who Became World Champion the Year You Were Born?
time to elaborate on my year of birth.
April 7 1994.
10 days before the Pacific GP.
roughly one month before Ayrton's last pole.

... And just to compare and contrast with wmetcalf68, it's pretty obvious from my profile name, but mine would be :
1974, Emerson Fittipaldi's 2nd title
I think I may be the 2nd oldest 'regular' (ish) poster on here after Eagleash, and I guess his answer would be :

Well there was a chariot racer that looked like Schumacher (racing for the country Germania) in one of the Asterix movies
This also happen to reveal that Jean Todt is probably the best actor ever I don't know what i want and i want it now!
Re: Who Became World Champion the Year You Were Born?
The Emperor Nero probably had the best record of all the ancient Roman chariot racers. None of his rivals would dare to beat him, for fear of being put to death, and the judges would routinely award him the laurels even if he failed to finish, for the same reason...

Re: Who Became World Champion the Year You Were Born?
Born on the same day as Ayrton Senna was born, in the year of his last championship. That might be some reasons why I think highly of Senna!
