Although I still love f1, I miss all the classic racetracks like imola and magny cours and old hockenheim. I miss refueling. I miss the v10s. But most of all I miss schumi. The greatest driver I’ve ever watched.

[@italogalaxys4571]

I miss them all too

[@ballaking1000]

Do you miss the even-worse-than-now FIA? Do you miss the shitty points system? How about the inability to detect illegal parts on cars? What about the HUGE lack of overtakes? Right I forgot, the name “Schumacher” on the board with a loud engine suddenly makes this the best era of F1... btw, Imola provided next to NO overtaking opportunities unless the car ahead was a good 2-3 seconds a lap slower. Old Hockenheim is just a glorified Monza track with a stadium section, at least with Monza; spectators can actually see shit as well as 1/2 the track not being invisible to the tv viewers as well. Refuelling would be a nice addition in the 2021 regs though I doubt they will. Maybe not you, but way too many people who fall in your line of thinking think this era was the perfect era when that’s so fucking far from the truth.

[@ballaking1000]

google spynetwork People LAUGH at Williams for being 1.5-2 seconds slower around most tracks yet in this era, you’d still be a lower mid-field team. Take williams out and you have about 1-1.2s deviation from the slowest to fastest teams today which is unprecidented. I’m willing to bet you weren’t even coherent in 2001 because if you were, you’d remember just how BORING these races were. Slower cars stay behind and the faster cars sailed off into the distance with the huge deviation in performance among the teams. The deviation in performance and reliability is so miniscule today and the competition is FAR more tightly knit than back then. Wake up dumbass you’re just feeling nostalgic (for a time you likely weren’t even coherent like I said earlier) lmao

[@ballaking1000]

@google spynetwork "Get rekt dummy" just displays your level of thinking; can't rationalize with someone who is an idiot so I'll end it here.

[@ballaking1000]

@google spynetwork The numbers do reflect it; you are so delusional.

[@challenger2031]

Still thinking of you Michael, you always were an absolute joy to watch on the track, I hope that wherever you are, you are recovering and know that your time as an F1 driver will never be forgotten ♥️

[@Ferariiman]

Watching Schumacher racing was the epitome of my teen years, racing in his prancing horse and kicking butt all around. I wish I could go back and see him racing in his Red arrow all over again :(

[@KL50450]

Ferariiman he was a great driver but also a big cheat. Clip no2 illustrates that and there’re numerous more. Sad as he didn’t need that. He would have been WDC 3-4 times without the cheating.

[@lucasbailey8878]

@@KL50450 Not really, 1994 was both michael and Damon's fault. Michael could have left more space, and damon knew Michael's driving style so he could have waited and overtook him down the straight. So his 7 wdc still are fair, imo.

[@fulldump9834]

Michael S240andF360 Cheating back then was somewhat accepted though. Look at the back to back years with Prost and Senna knocking each other out to win the title. I think it was the advancement of onboards and computers where every little thing can be replayed and analyzed otherwise we'd still be seeing that kind of shit.

[@demdjen77]

@@KL50450 You have no idea what you are writing about!

[@vernongovender1906]

@@KL50450 don't embarrass yourself. 3 instances I can remember, all on track, in the heat of the moment, split second decision making. All of which would probably have been done by most other drivers had they been in those fights, except for Monaco Rascasse parking I'll admit. In any case, that's what made Schumacher the envy of every other driver, he dared to explore every boundary and that's what a racer should be like. Maybe stick to watching golf, or the cry babies of the current F1 grid may actually suit you well.

You never really appreciate fully during these times that your lucky enough to be witness to a man of the likes that won’t be seen again for another 5-6 maybe even 7 Generations to come . Still today holds the greatest records at the pinnacle of motor sport and hopefully will still be holding most of them for another hundred years to come . Ferrari owes him a debt of gratitude that couldn’t possibly be repaid in 5 lifetimes and the Fans will never forget the greatest F1 driver of all time , may the rest of his life be as peaceful and comfortable as possible. Full Respect to his family that will never give up on him 🍻

[@jraybay]

Great footage from the archives guys! These Schumacher videos have been very interesting

[@Maroslavka]

Schumacher went from a team he won 2 titles in a row with, to a team that hadn't won in the sport for over 2 decades. He helped to build the foundations of that team over the next 3 years and then went on to dominate with that team for the next 5 years. He helped and was a crucial part in building their success. He also came out of retirement and helped developed Mercedes into what they are now before Hamilton took the seat He was in. Brawn himself said Schumacher had an immense and crucial part to play in developing the car and team into what it was to dominate the sport with Hamilton at the wheel. Schumacher has and always will be the greatest F1 driver the sport has seen, alot don't like him, but anyone with common knowledge of F1 won't dispute that. Hamilton is a great, that can't be disputed. But he is not the greatest of all time. Oh to answer about others with poor equipment, Schumacher also has the most wins in a non championship winning car even though he has less wins than Hamilton, further proof Hamilton is only great with the greatest car against the other greats records.

For ALL you Schumacher Adelaide haters this onboard here 0:35 shows you very much indeed that he never turned into Damon Hill. Look at his steering wheel inputs and how is front wheels are moving. He is coming from the left aproaching the corner pretty much in a staight line and Hill goes for gap that is always closing.

[@lorenzopasquini3797]

[@zxr-cade2026]

Just pure genius the king of formula 1 🏎 I miss Micheal a lot I loved watching him as a young boy dominating the sport winning 7 world titles and 91 wins and all the other records he created was just unbelievable such as his record 100% podium finishes in 2002 17 out of 17 races that will never ever be matched and his 13 wins in 18 races in 2004 that’s over 72% that is just unbelievable and that’s only been matched by Vettel but Schumacher had less races in 2004 so his record is better get well soon Micheal were all behind you

[@reptongeek]

What's also missed from 2002 is he also completed every racing lap since there have been instances where podium finishers were lapped. But not in this case

[@crazyspotter4950]

the legend

[@danielrichardson1090]

Awesome content thanks formula one for all this Schumacher stuff. As a mega Schumi fan it means a lot. Also I know people are spilt with 94. But the more I watch it the more I think maybe he really didn’t see hill coming. Only because when they touch he suddenly looks right like wft was that. Also a mechanic in an interview said he was struggling with car jerking left when he was trying to turn right. In 97 he looked in mirrors, but 94 he never looked once for hill. So maybe it was an accident or he just made it look that way. Either way he’s always my Hero! #KeepFightingMichael.

[@TheSacuLlp]

Its actually interesting to know and also see how he steered to the right three times before hitting hill because the car otherwise always went slittly left so it actually seems like an accident with that info but didnt looked that way in the tv footage

[@cdname47]

I guess the sadness surrounding his current condition is adding a haze to the facts of the time Make no mistake, what's happened to Micheal is a terrible thing, but he could be damn ruthless at times if it was the difference between winning and losing. He hit Villenueve in 97 deliberately, he parked his car in Monaco 06 deliberately. And he hit damon hill deliberately after he realised he'd damaged his car and was about to lose a world championship that had been in his hands all season. The tragedy of it was, he was the greatest driver of his generation and one of the best of all time. He didn't need to go above and beyond the rules to beat his competition, he could beat them fair and square with no underhand tactics. Yet his ruthless streak is still a stain on an otherwise brilliant record.

Hill has since admitted the move wasn't on.
