Sounds like an angry dog!

His skill was steering with the throttle and steering with the rear. He was very comfortable with a loose rear end. With oversteer. Like Kimi.

Interestingly Herbert was only a half second slower the first race of the season. One way data sharing and shattered legs.

I doubt they had anything like the same equipment. Herbert was screwed hugely by Benetton.

I'd love to see a comparison of the telemetries of the best drivers of their era (with expert assessment to allow for what their respective cars could do). Is Hamilton or Vettel on the same level as these guys or did they just have the fastest cars? Only this kind of assessment could tell.

Or it was illegal TCS? In that season Ross Brawn announced to Herbert that he could no longer see Schumacher's data, while Schumacher could get to see his. Nothing to hide? That car was proven by the FIA to have TCS and Launch control when it was illegal.

Yeah but, but who has more rear wing...? I bet shumi has less and that's the real steering trace and speed. I suspect the only thing this shows is breaking technique.

Did i understand wrong or Herbert's explanation meant the opposite of the actual Schumacher's style?

Most overrated driver

Playing the devil's advocate for a moment, if he was such a legend, why wasn't he able to beat Rosberg with Brawn essentially heading the design of the car when he came back? I'm lost to explain that one. Sure he was 'rusty' and out of his prime, but driving is driving. People loved the use the 'two drivers, same car' as the be all, end all of arguments to crown who's a better driver; using that logic, can we say Rosberg is better than Michael?

I've been watching this video for the past 12 years and it never gets old.

The first view by the helicopter is amazing., for the first time i have understand how fast is an F1 on a circuit. I had followed this sport for almost tweenty years, but is very rare and not easy when you follow the race on tv, or by inside the circuit, having the real perception of them speed. Are rockets on wheels and the champions, in this case Michael, one of the two or three greatest ever, simply phenomenal .. no words.

Does anyone else think Johnny Herbert is a bit of a pri*k saying Schumacher was nothing special.

Proficiat Mardavo8 Zalig om te zien, spijtig dat we er niet bij konden zijn :)

The difference between MS and the rest you could see and hear at the circuit , lucky enough to witness it for many years .

One of the best videos to explain in laymans terms how driving styles affect speed.

Especially the amount of steering corrections is impressive. This means he was on the limit and Herbert took the save way.

Have to admit he's a fantastic driver, a shit skier, but a fantastic driver

Thanks for explainded it!! Seriously, that was very interesting.

johnny herbert: nothing special, oh im sorry, who else won 7 titles and 91 wins? i guess no one

The steering input difference was utterly staggering.

so he had the same style on the throttle as jackie stewart.

In other words: Pretty impressive from Herbert without TCS

The Stig Talks.

this is all bullshit, the truth is his face is pretty aerodynamic

It's called being an ego maniac dick head

He couldnt beat Verstappen at karting and this idiot says that he is too quick ROFLMAOFACEPALM ?!?!?!?!?!?!

Although Schumacher could never ever win from his friend Jos Verstappen with carting..

That is just insane and pure technique!

I believe in his talent, he will be the f1 world champion once again

He's a good driver, no doubt. But he's also an asshole like pushing other cars off track especially during race starts and blocking faster incoming cars.

He was a great driver, maybe the best of all time, but he got away with murder with some of his antics, because he was Schumacher. We're not supposed to speak ill of the (nearly) dead, but I will.

Michael was. Is. And will always be the greatest.

When I made Michael's steering wheel grips, Johnny teased him about making tracings of his hands so I could size the grips properly...the in-car cameras gave me info on hand movements. I shipped Ser.#159/F1-001 to Monaco, which Micheal promptly won, and he got attached to it for the remainder of the season. My presentation in Berlin used that wheel as the centerpiece for demonstration which can be seen at www.SteeringWheelTechnology.com

Funny how Herbert says about how Senna is intermittent on the throttle during cornering - there's actually a video of Senna taking an NSX for a spin around Suzuka with him doing exactly that - camera in the footwell

The best of all time. He put Ferrari back on the map, not the other way around - as many try to assert. I can certainly understand people saying Senna was better, they were both astonishing drivers in their day, but Schuey himself said it best in the interview at the end... and that's not arrogance, that's confidence.

Interesting. I would have liked to be a fan of Schumacher but he, far too often, did things on the track that would have been criminal acts on the public road and put fellow drivers in danger. I've been a fan of F1 for 60 years and think it should still be a sport.

It bothers me so much that this video is 11 years old and there's STILL a typo in the title

Explainded very gooded.

Now I am sad.

This might be the oldest KZbin video I've watched.

23 dislikes? Maybe the rest of the driving field who Schumacher beat?

and this is a recommended video... from 11 years ago? k den

The telemetry tells me a story. Could be a fake story. But the throttle input looks like a computer was controlling it on Schumacer's, but his actual steering looked VERY human, even erratic (almost like he was reacting to what the throttle was giving him, after the fact. However, the other telemetry data looked human for the throttle but the steering is a lot smoother, almost like the driver knew what throttle power he was gonna be using for the steering.

Clark smooth mechanically empathic at home at 9.9/10ths all day long.

The fact that this is 11 years old and the title still says "explainded" amuses me somewhat

Explainded.

Memorize the damn track...open throttle all the time,,, don't touch the brakes and when you do make sure the brakes bite right of way............

Explained.
