Micheal Schumacher is one of the best driver in F1. Massa is also good. coming 1 or 2 is not the issue completing the race with technique is very important. Massa has come now but schumacher is one oldest and experienced F1 racer. He is 7 times world champion. It is just a matter of time
You are quoting statistics (7 times world champion) this does not make Schumacher a great driver. Many truly great drivers never won a single championship. Schumacher (or his manager) made sure he was in the best teams. He then bullied his way to being a clear number one in the team. He cheated his way to 3 of the 7 Championship wins. He has never been a great driver and he has often been beaten by team-mates in identical machines.
It is true Massa does not have the ruthless streak of say Senna, Schumacher and Alonso. As a spectator that doesn't make him a worse driver in my opinion. However, in the dog-eat-dog world of F1 it probably does mean he will be a number two driver for the rest of this year.

Given the nature of the competative sports and the monies involved the sport is subject to rigging of results. It would be great to have schumi, massa, alonso, hamilton, drive with identical machines to figure out who is better for me allof them are good f1 drivers.

That's what the old IROC series aimed for. Sadly, it soon went downhill and has been gone for several years.

In the same machines I would say it would be close between Alonso and Hammy. ;) Reckon Massa would show Schumi the road now though.
