What is the question?

If it's "who is the best F1 driver of all time, you have to include Schumaker in the top 3 or 4. No if/ands/buts.
His record speaks for itself.
I enjoy watching him drive.
Not his fault there is not much competition
these days for the Ferrari.

However if the question is whether Schumaker
is one of the 3 or 4 best all around drivers ever, the answer is no. He is a specialist. And the reason he will stay
a specialist has something to do with
being paid $ 20 million a year to just
race F1.

Years ago racers "crossed over"
since there was MONEY to be had by
participating in other venues.
There is no need for that today.
Top NASCAR/IRL/F1 drivers make PLENTY
just by being specialists.

If you want my vote for one of the top
3 or 4 best all around drivers ever,
I'll go with my hometime hero...Mario.
He raced and won in ALL types of cars.
