Sure Schumi had a similar period where he drove a superior car BUT he also has this:

Wiki quote:
"Schumacher's record in wet conditions shows very few mistakes: up to the end of the 2003 season, Schumacher won 17 of the 30 races in wet conditions"

That is maybe worth more than the 7 championships as measure of pure, raw skills. He is not my favourite driver of all time but he proved at least 17 times that he is more than a product of a fast car. Also, numbers is one thing but watching the races gets you an idea over time of what YOU perceive as really great driving, all of which is not reflected in numbers. I saw enough of Schumi's genius while I need to see more from Vettel for me personally to hold him at Shumi's and Senna's level.
