He's such a great driver that when you look at the way he drives, he's the coolest guy on the track and he doesn't give that much steering input.However, your points are valid when he's at the top of his game. Just look back 3 to 5 years ago when he was winning like nobody's business. He didn't even have to flex his muscles and the Ferrari's were a clear 1 second a lap faster than anyone. Most of the time, it was flag to flag win or 1-2 with RB. While saying this, he was never really challenged and most of the time he was coasting to victory while not even driving at the full potential i suspect. We saw how great his driving skills were and thats what i call a smooth driver. Lap after lap his line were so consistent. Again, i'd like to emphasize that he was never really challenged.Look back another 7-9 years when his arch nemesis, Villeneuve, Damon Hill and Mika Hakkinen were having good cars. Most of the time, we see the wild side of Schumi. That was what i call, he was driving over the cars capability. Most of the time he started 4 or 5 and had to battle his way to the top, making lots of overtaking moves and daredevil laps which impressed everyone. That was 'not the smooth Schumi' because most of the time he was all over the back of the driver in front and kinda force them into making error. He wouldn't hestitate to go into the grass or hit an apex just to make sure he gets a tyre in front. In short, he was aggresive. Very similar to schumi, Mika Hakkinen was like what Kimi is. Extremely quick and lap after lap, he'd be trying to better his own time and doesn't stop pushing till the end of the race, even if he's a clear 50 seconds ahead at the last lap.Also, look at least year when schumi actually had a few problems with the car. He had some graining issues and also during qualifying, he overcooked his lines and screwed up his one lap qualifying. Signs that he was trying to squeeze more out of his sucky Ferrari. That was never the 'smooth schumi'.</blockquote>
