His critics maintain that without a sympathetic FIA it's likely he wouldn't have won the 94 (Unnecesary collision with Hill), 95 (Benetton ban for use of traction control in 94), 2000 (Mystifying punishment of Hakkinen in deciding race) and 2003 (Re-writing of tyre rules) titles, making him just a three-time World Champion like Jackie Stewart.

I think this is quite an erroneous statement devoid of logic. It is fallacious to assume that without FIA sanction he would not have won. It also assumes that he did something wrong, when it was held he was not wrong. Hamilton has gone through the same process with negative results. Too bad. Cop it sweet. Times change and interpretations change.
Nevertheless, I do agree that Schumacher was a slightly dirty driver who liked trickery. However, he is still one of the best to have raced an F1 car.
