This poser almost stumped the normally unflappable Mika Hakkinen, two-time Formula One champion, yesterday.
In town as an ambassador for Johnnie Walker's "Join the Pact" campaign against drink driving, the 39-year-old hesitated at the question during a press conference at the Padang.
"Yes," he began, then paused for a long while, before replying: "No, I don't think so."
When pressed about his answer, Hakkinen - whom Schumacher hailed as the rival he respected most - said he believes that current drivers are no longer hampered much by their cars.
Said the 1998 and 1999 F1 champion: "The cars now are pretty standardised, there are no major modifications.
"So there's not much advantage among drivers, and with so many talented drivers, I don't see anyone who will dominate like Schumi."
Indeed, his rivalry with the German racing great sparked off a new wave of popularity in the sport that has carried from the late 1990s to this decade.
And it was only until the Finn decide to leave Formula One in 2001 that Schumacher started to dominate, winning from 2002 to 2004 for a staggering total of seven F1 titles.
Yesterday, the Finn showed off his top-class driving skills, thrilling the 1,000-odd crowd as he sped past City Hall in the McLaren MP4-22, the car used by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso last season.
He also urged the public to sign up for the "Join the Pact" campaign, and make a promise not to drink and drive.
"I'm very much focused on this campaign at this moment, so I don't think I'll be going back to professional racing anytime soon," he said.
JUST FOR FUN: Hakkinen has no plans to return to racing.
"If I race, it's purely for fun." However, he was forthcoming when asked about his views on night racing.
Singapore will host its first F1 Grand Prix on Sept 28, the first night race in F1 history.
He said: "I think testing under night lighting will be too expensive for teams. But if the lighting system and all the organisation here in Singapore is at a top, top level, I don't think testing is necessary."
However, he is more concerned about how drivers react to racing at night.
He said: "Their bodies are in the 'night mode' - they are preparing to sleep, and won't be as alert as during the day.
"What's more, their brains need to work much more than in the day, because what a person sees in artificial light can differ from what he sees in natural light. It is a lot of preparation for the driver, so that he can race properly at night."
