Schumacher does have a sense of humour after all

Michael Schumacher believes his record of seven world titles can be beaten - and that Lewis Hamilton could do it.

Hamilton could clinch his first title in Brazil on Sunday - the McLaren driver has a seven-point lead over rival Felipe Massa of Ferrari.

Schumacher told the BBC's Inside Sport programme: "I would say, absolutely, yes [Hamilton could win seven titles].

"Nobody thought, even me, that I could beat [Juan Manuel] Fangio. Then I did. Records are there to be beaten".

The 39-year-old said losing the record would not bother him.

"I'm quite relaxed that one day it will happen - whether it's Lewis, whether it's Massa, or whoever.

[Cara Van Man]

It's possible.

It depends how long Massas contract with the FIA Scuderia is.

[profstoff]

There are times when Massa's driven well this year and times when his driving has been appalling and very much like the Massa of old. I have never really rated him but I admit that he has surprised me. Nevertheless, I think this year is probably his best real crack at the title. With drivers of the calibre of Alonso, Hamilton and Raikonen around him and new guns like Vettel knocking on the door, I don't think his chance will come again.
MS was probably trying to show a bit of loyalty to Ferrari when he made that remark.

[10 Pence Short]

I was surprised how candid he was, he clearly wasn't reading a Ferrari press release when he made those comments. Fair play to him.

[Mattygooner]

I don't think he needs to kiss Ferrari's arse anymore, they need him more than he needs them.

Retirement suits him, perhaps he should have moved to redbull, grown a beard and chilled out a bit more, people might have started to like him then.

Sounds reasonable to me. He has won the same amount as Hamilton so far.

Tom, I've told you before, stop rising to the bait.

[Get Karter]

MS had to include Massa, with the title as yet undecided, and him working for/with Ferrari and Massa.

Aye, even on $25m a year, he found Gillette blades are a bleeding rip-off!

HA HA HA - IF Massa flukes, cheats his way to one title this year - there surely can't be any others - unless the car is so dominant it renders physics obsolete.

But Massa was not in a car capable of winning races for his first years in the sport, Hamilton has been from day one. Of course those stats should really be 10 wins for Hamilton 9 for Massa when SPA is taken into account.......
