F1: Michael Schumacher at his best - Top 5 races of all time

#3 Spanish Grand Prix, 1996

Michael Schumacher earns his nickname "Rainmaster" after Spanish Grand Prix 1996

The German hero got his name, Regenmeister or Rainmaster only after this race which happened to be his first win for Ferrari. Qualifying third on the grid and after a poor start he was dropped to sixth place, it is still unbelievable from here how he was able to recover and take the lead within a span of 13 laps.

Schumi lived up to his nickname by showcasing his wet weather abilities by taking a few daring overtakes to claim the lead from Jean Alesi. From thereon he was unstoppable, he was clocking 2-3 seconds a lap quicker than every other racer. The talking point of this race is when he was lapping the Circuit de Catalunya a whole three seconds quicker than his rivals. Not only was he able to recover from a poor start, but he took control of the wet conditions and went on to win the race in a dominating fashion with a gap of over 45 seconds.
