Carl Edwards burns Schumacher

Carl Edwards knocks Michael Schumacher OUT of the ROC. Score one for the so called taxi drivers that go fast and turn left. The commentators were making fun of Carl right until the start of the race and were pretty stunned at the outcome. There was never even any interview with Carl afterwards. Although they did interview Michael and he said Carl just flat beat him. I found that to be pretty sporting of him.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

Schumacher said after this that he didn't make a mistake and Carl Edwards outright beat him

[@hornetguy9063]

If NASCAR didn’t completely muck with the championship system (and edwards landed on a team like Gibbs instead of Roush for his entire career), he’d have been at least a 2x champion. And in better equipment, probably more. The results of his career are a complete travesty. Not to mention horrible luck in his final race cost him a championship.

They drive drive around with virtually no downforce in heavy cars on a steering wheel with no engine modes to assist them with street level brakes and no telemetry to assit them.

I can't find the comment, but someone recently wrote that he has yet to see a NASCAR or Indy car driver ever come and win a Formula 1 championship. My reply is that you're probably too young to remember, but Mario Andretti won in both NASCAR (the 1967 Daytona 500) and in Indy cars (the 1969 Indianapolis 500 and many others, and championships before 1970). He also won the 12 Hours of Sebring, a Pikes Peak hill climb (back when the road was largely unpaved and the runoff areas, while generous, had severe drops in altitude) and a USAC Dirt Track championship in 1974 as well. All of this happened prior to his 1978 F1 Driver's Championship with Lotus. And though born in Italy, he only learned to drive once his family had relocated to Nazareth, PA. So yes, there was one.

MrLewisbate I hate to say it, but when a driver makes a one off start in a different series, in most cases, the NASCAR driver had found success in majority of their starts as in the open wheel guys come over and hardly can compete, Mario and partially Montoya being an exception, shoot even Carmichael and Pastrana couldn’t even hack it and Pastrana has been successful across multiple sports. I’m not saying NASCAR drivers are “better” but driving a 3,500lb car at 180 through corners and developing that car control benefits them so much more when they go to these other sports, because in F1 the car you’re practically driving a computer. NASCAR you are the computer so I feel that it helps those drivers on the long run when they develop that sense of feel for a vehicle and what it’s doing.

Watch the drivers during the races and notice how their hands constantly battle the wheel in the turns, trying to keep the car straight. There's a reason why F1 drivers like Ambrose and Montoya are yet to win on the 'simple ovals'.

The new Red Bull cars are slaughtering the other drivers they're just so much faster than everyone else. Even Lewis Hamilton another 7 time world champion can't compete with the Red Bull cars. Also Senna dying very much worked in Schumacher's favour. I highly doubt he would have got 7 championships with Senna still on the scene.

[@catjudo1]

Personally, I enjoy both series, along with pretty much anything on wheels that I come across. They are all different, and they all have their good points. Besides, even if drivers have their favorites, they still appreciate how difficult a completely different discipline really is. Juan Pablo wouldn't have gone into NASCAR and stayed for years if he hadn't liked and enjoyed it, and Daniel Ricciardo picked his number 3 because he was a big time Dale Earnhardt fan (and the number is even styled after the Richard Childress Racing no. 3 that Dale drove for so long).

First, I won't complain about NASCAR race announcers being biased again, that was awful. Second, what I love about this is that back in 2009 NASCAR started adding more road course to the lower series and the Sprint Cup guys would specifically race in those races in the lower series to become better on road courses. Used too, road course racing in NASCAR was awful because the guys from formula 1 and Indy Car that would come race in NASCAR for two races, Watkins Glenn and Sanonma, were beating the NASCAR guys. It was boring to watch when you knew either the F1 or Indy Car guys would win. But Carl proved in this video that the NASCAR guys were getting the hang of road courses and that it's not just Indy Car drivers and F1 drivers any more that you needed to watch on road courses any more. Third, to be honest I was really expecting a back flip after that win.

[@CyprusHartford]

Kayla Kaye Montoya was the only Open Wheel driver with no NASCAR experience to ever win a road course. AJ Allmendinger took five years. Tony Stewart never started an open wheel road course race. Marcos Ambrose never drove an open wheeled car

Chatty Matty, I may be splitting hairs here, but by the time JPM won his first NASCAR race in Mexico City, he had some experience under his belt. He ran at Homestead the previous season and did a lot of testing in the off season to gain experience in the cars. It doesn't take away from his accomplishment of winning two races in NASCAR in his rookie season (one in the Busch series or whatever the second tier series was called and again at Sonoma) when he came from a completely different discipline. He had limited experience to be sure though, and other drivers with far more experience in stock cars took longer to win on a road course. Just to make it even more fun, Juan Pablo won more road course NASCAR races than Dale Earnhardt, whose lone road course win came at Sonoma in 1995.

[@catjudo1]

I would think that two wins in a form of motorsports so completely different from that of Formula 1 is successful in itself, especially while running for a team that wasn't at the top of the game. He actually won three NASCAR races, the two Cup road courses and the second tier series in Mexico City during his rookie year. Yes, they're all road courses, but that's more than respected drivers like Johnny Benson, Ron Bouchard and Richard Brickhouse, who each earned one lone win at the top level of NASCAR. Mario Andretti only won a single NASCAR race too, the 1967 Daytona 500. Juan Pablo Montoya stayed in NASCAR a lot longer than most open wheel racers, and would likely have stayed longer had he been able to sign with a competitive team. I think a more telling measure of his success is the total number of top fives and top tens over his seven seasons, at 24 and 59 respectively. Finally, he is one of only three drivers to ever win in Formula 1, Indy cars, and NASCAR, the others being Mario Andretti and Dan Gurney.

[@SHA8UTIE]

Also, Montoya was extremely aggressive and made many mistakes but he was one of the most naturally talented drivers that the series has ever seen. You will hear that from announcers and many other drivers. He was probably the fastest guy on early laps before the heat is all the way in the tires.

[@shedboy4lyf]

[@francescosatta7746]

@BigJim35 Allmendinger is an open wheel guy who went to Nascar and has become a good stock car driver. Before 2008 he raced in karts, won the F.Atlantic title, was rookie of the year in ChampCar in 2004 and almost won the title in 2006, so he's an open wheel guy turned into a stock car driver. Sure he did well in Indy in 2013, but he wasn't competitive in the other races that year, including crashes on first lap in both Detroit races and then another crash in the season finale at Fontana. Kurt Busch did very well at Indy 2014 in a winning car, but as 'Dinger showed, it doesn't mean he would have been as good in other races. Even Montoya (who wasn't championship material but was good enough to make the chase and went so close to win on an oval), after 7 years in Nascar wasn't that competitive on road and street circuits, because the field is so tight and you really need to be at the top of your game to contend for victory. If you are 3 thents off the best you may find yourself well outside the top ten. Anyway I admit that stock cars are very difficult to drive and require great skills and talent. Unfortunately in Europe there's a lot of ignorance about oval racing, Nascar or IndyCar makes no difference, so most F1 fans tend to see it as very easy, which obviously is not, especially in a stock car that moves around all the time. If Johnson, Gordon or Stewart were born in Europe, with the right support they would have become top f1 drivers.

Funny how some oval dirt track kid from Kansas would go on to beat Michael Schumacher, 7x formula 1 champion. Don't get me wrong, I like Schumacher to,

[@spinpsychle]

Your point is right on, but Carl Edwards is from Missouri.

[@AustinG29152]

Carl Edwards was some oval dirt track kid from Missouri, but Michael was a poor west Germany kid, who’s father was a bricklayer that built michael’s first go kart from scraps. Not denying that Carl Edwards flat out beat michael, and the commentators were extremely biased, but you can’t take away Michael Schumacher’s merit, especially when it comes to talking about who came from humble beginnings.

[@TheKestevon]

It is als more funny to hear that Coulthard beat a guy who had beaten Schumacher in ROC.

[@zoomzoom4735]

Just one lap dude, probably over braked some where... just cant compare nascar with open wheeled drivers.... never ever!

[@ams_arroyo8621]

Piyush zoom You can’t compare a NASCAR driver to an opened wheel driver, but you can compare Jeff Gordon to an opened wheel racer. Look at the lap times he set at the IMS road course in the Williams. It was his first time in a rear-engined car, too. If he had more experience, he might have been as fast as JPM...

[@whoasked9500]

Huh, and people say NASCAR drivers are crap. Not Carl Edwards, that's for sure. In fact, he nearly won 2 NASCAR Cup championships.

[@shanedavis3418]

It's because Michael always had the better equipment in F1 everything for nascar drivers is relatively equal so talent is very important.

[@lpforever1854]

He didn´t always had the best equipment in F1. he had to drive a lot of slow cars during his career and was the driver, who brought Ferrari back on the top spot of the sport in the first place. But that´s not the reason, why he was beaten by Carl Edwards.The Race of Champions is a fun event, where drivers have little to no experience with the cars and the track prior to their races. If one driver beats another one in this contest, then it still doesn´t say anything about their skill. The drivers know that and don´t take the Race of Champions very serious therefor. They just see it as it is, an enjoyable event, where the fun is in the foreground.

[@bradbagwell3306]

He got schooled, hands down. Having identical cars driving the same course is totally a test of skill. It’s not about who has the best equipment unlike F1 racing.

[@ZachMan99]

Carl beat him at his own game 😂😂 Good thing they weren't on an oval otherwise he might've been lapped 😂😂😂

Gordon had a chance to run against him, but got sick and couldn't make it. Him and Johnson won the nation's cup one year though.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

Carl Edwards is one of the top NASCAR drivers of ALL TIME. These Euro F1 snobs had NO CLUE what was about to go down. 😂

[@robertw7651]

F1 guys are drivers, NASCAR guys are racers. Put Kyle Larson in a Mercedes or Red Bull car with some practice, he’d have the same result as Edwards against anyone .

This was for the drivers cup. In the very next round Carl loses to David Coulthard, an f1 rival to Michael. Michael went on to win the nation cup for Germany at this event.

they stick to that story even after carl's lead was steadily increasing. the first split he is one second ahead and the second and final one he is 2 seconds ahead.

[@retromario96]

Close minded team owners. If I owned a team in F1 I wouldn't care if the guy started his career in F3, F2, late-models, Sprint Cars, Go-Karts, stock cars, street racing, or anything else. I'd be like "Hey this guys has a lot of talent, I think I'll give him a chance." What he does with the chance is up to him.

[@codyclark1782]

F1 drivers get their asses handed to them in NASCAR. 85% of Nascar drivers can drive any road course or track other than an oval. Watch any time they put a Nascar driver in an F1 car, they do really well. F1 drivers of today are just too set in their ways to adapt, learn, and be even semi successful in NASCAR. I think Senna, James Hunt, and DEFINITELY Mika Hakkinen would've done well in NASCAR though. They just had much better improvisational skills, driver skill, and bigger balls back then. The 70's and especially the 80's turbo era would be a lot closer to the Nascars we have today. Huge power, skinny tires, no downforce, not really any braking power to speak of, and using a clutch to row through the gears. F1 drivers of yesteryear would've been able to adapt well in NASCAR but not the guys we have today

[@TheKestevon]

Cody Clark F1 car handling is getting more assisted over the years.

[@thatsidewaysdud7623]

TheKestevon LoL they have no assists and even Ricciardo said that the cars of 2017 were more difficult to drive than 2016

[@DamianVega00]

Co-operative Belgium yeah because there assisted more, throwing the drivers off from the groove they had last year

[@Leonefan]

I agree but just one small correction. They are 3500 lbs not 2500.

SPOILER WARNING Carl Edwards = Takumi Fujiwara Michael Schumacher = Keisuke Takahashi

[@stormkelleh]

Nascar drivers are for real. I respect all Motorsport but it’s about time folks realized nascar isn’t left turns and hillbillies anymore.

[@SHA8UTIE]

The sad thing about this is that Carl Edwards is not even a top 10 NASCAR road course driver. If he beat him by that much I can't imagine what Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Juan Montoya, Denny Hamlin or Marcos Ambrose would have done.

[@baguette2816]

Im guessing that michael isnt used to racing on the left side, while edwards races and drives like that Or he’s just better, hell yea America

[@cmoore185]

The commentators should know more about NASCAR. They do run road courses. They will run three this year counting the roval at Charlotte.

[@HydraDominus]

Schumacher knows not to mess with edwards

[@Leonefan]

@McFly2015AD I agree, the road races have definitely gotten better over the past few years. Some purists say it's more wrecking than racing at the road courses now but I think it's just a case of stiffer competition due to more of the regulars stepping up their game on the road courses as well as the COT allowing them to race more aggressively. However, I'd like to see the series stay oval oriented and only run a max of two to three road races per season max.

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

Man, the commentators cannot fathom the possibility that Edwards might just actually be faster.

Anyone can win with cars with sets but Carl proved he can win with a car with the same set.

@Leonefan Totally agree, Tony has been a champion in every series he's raced in.

[@raymondchapman5990]

this race and the outcome speaks volumes. i have said it forever..f1 drivers are the most overrated and nascar the most underrated...period. the worst part was the ignorant commentators making excuses for schumacher instead of just saying what they should have

[@lpforever1854]

Well, Carl Edwards lost most of his Race of Champions races as did many of his fellow NASCAR competitors, right after this round, he lost to David Coulthard, who then lost to Sebastien Loeb in the finals. On the next day, Schumacher and Vettel pretty much dominated the Nations Cup.

[@alexmaccain2362]

​@@lpforever1854lol well Carl Edwards retired 6 years ago now we have Tyler Reddick, chase Elliott, SVG part timer, Kyle bush, Michael McDowall, Kyle Larson, Christopher bell and many more talent that can race both dirt and roadcources and ovels.

[@paddle_shift]

Wish he posted the drivers reactions as well. Not sure if these cars were paddle or were stick, but if they were sticks that would give an advantage to the NASCAR drivers.

I'm not trying to besmirch Schumacher. He is a legend but I think people give him way more credit than he deserves.

[@nestlesnipes8353]

People don’t realize that nascar drivers take full-size cars with no abs traction control around road courses regularly

[@Rangure02]

i like F1 so much, but i hate the new fans that like to talk bullshit about any other competition that is not F1 and call their drivers "inferior" so in those cases I always send them this video and the reaction of the most of them is to block me. Lol.

[@cliffthelightning]

Im european and im sorry for the pompous commentators, Michael himself said he made no mistakes and Carl was just faster. True racing fans know Nascar and Indycar drivers are not lower tier drivers.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

I'm guessing most any other F1 driver would have won multiple championships in Schumacher's car, if not 7 titles. F1 inserts whomever they want to be the face of their franchise into the top car. For example, F1 didn't want Kimi as their top driver, or else hed have multiple titles too, if not 7.

[@b_whitesell]

Such a shame that Carl surprise retired

[@catjudo1]

I respectfully disagree, Brandon. I am happy that Carl made the choice to leave the sport and is a healthy and happy man spending quality time with his wife and children. The real shame is what happened to Michael. Since we can only speculate as to his condition, we don't really know, but I've heard as extreme things as that his mind is relatively undamaged, but that the section of his brain that controls motor control is fubar'd. If he really is locked inside a broken body, that is a horrible fate for anyone to endure.
