He's 32 now and the young guns are coming through. Unfortunately I can't see him beating Schumacher's 7

I wouldn't be so sure. How old was Schumacher when he got his 7th title?

Schumacher was 35 when he won his 7th title in 2004.

Still a bit controversial though his 7.
I recall reading something from Eddie Jordan back when the Bridgestone tyres were used, somehow Jordan got hold of a set of Schumachers used tyres, put them on the Jordan and as if by magic his car was 2 seconds a lap quicker even though all the tyres were supposed to be the same.

Schumacher and Ferrari cheats? No comment on that one
I think we saw that he wasn’t the world champion he was built up to be when he came back and raced for Mercedes where Rosberg outperformed him. He was very lucky to race for Ferrari when he did imo, his only challenger was Alonso in an inferior car if memory serves me.
You could say that Hamilton has also had it good as did Vettel at Red Bull, remembering though that Hamilton has always had to race his team mate, Schumacher and Vettel were undisputed number ones when they won their Championships. Vettel still is.
