can Michael Schumacher win the world championship?

Yes he can, but I feel Alonso will win again. I wish F1A would go back to the one engine per race rule and stop making teams use the same engine for more than one race. Schumacher is the best. \n I never understood why Renault got out of Formula 1 in the 1990's. They were on top with Schumacher as the champ for Williams.

Nothing and no-one has ever been greater than Michael Schumacher's seven Formula 1 world titles. That's why they pay him more than any other sportsperson on the planet.

It was close, but Fernando Alonso started his title defence very much in the way he ended his championship season last year by winning. Starting fourth the Renault star forced his way past the slow starting Jenson Button and soon after past Felipe Massa to set up the battle with Michael Schumacher. It was close race long but the second and final pit stop saw the Spaniard exit the pits half a car length ahead of Schumacher’s Ferrari and from that point onwards, he absorbed the pressure to win by just over a second.

Yeah and Ferrari is going to give everything to make him win, i think he has a good chance, the new ferrari looks like its going to work ok and he is still the best driver out there

I think he can, he is, after all....the best driver!\nHe would have had the championship in 2004 if it were not for his mistake of saying *shit* on National TV and being fined...that sucked. Last year he ran so bad but I think it was a combination of the changing of Pitcrews/ Mechanics/ All of it. If he had consistency he would have driven that way.\nThis year...he is doing awesome!! Only won one race but think we have alot of momentum going for us and the want to be the best that we are!

Heck no Kimi isn't going to win the championship, I doubt he'll even win a race this year.  McLaren is just so weak this season

Alonso will get Schumacher's position once Schumy retires.

Michael Schumacher or Fernando Alonso

They can of course. They are the favorites right now, however I believe they will not this year. They are weaker than past years in goal, defense, and midfield, and even their attack has been poor lately (Ronaldo, Adriano, Robinho). \n\nRonaldinho is their only ray of sunshine in this World Cup. Adriano will pick himself up and I think will do okay.\n\nI belive Italy will win this World Cup.

Alonso, no question about it. And that's why Schumacher is desperate to get his hands on his 8th World Drivers' Title; so desperate that he resorts to unfair and unethical means of trying to win. He also did that in previous seasons, but in the end he was the one that lost more.\nSo, if you don't put up the ethics of the driver, it's Schumacher, but, if you throw those in the balance, it suddenly tilts towards the 24 years old Spaniard.

At the moment it looks like a straight out fight between Fernando and Kimi. Honda, Ferrari and Williams look to be fast, but not fast enough to challenge for the drivers title, fast enough to be pests in the way though.

I think Schumacher's time to retire is as soon as they have Kimi signed. there is no way that Schuey will risk his image by running with an equal and talented teammate. He has been able to avoid it for so long, why would he end his career with the possibility of being outclassed by a guy like Kimi?
