Michael Schumacher onboard from the 1992 Italian Grand Prix

Schumi driving the Ford V8 powered, Benetton B192 with a 6 speed manual transmission. Also, the track was a little bit faster these days, the Variante del Rettifilo was still a double left-right chicane and the Lesmos were alot faster. Schumi came third while his teamate, Martin Brundle was second and the winner was the legendary Ayrton Senna with his Mclaren.

I don't think any sequential box would let you do that?

[@tesladiesel2420]

@@adelaidecity76 you are correct! It is an H pattern indeed. A dog box with straight cut gears. No clutch needed on the upshifts expect at start (still, need to lift throttle when shifting without a clutch or use ignition interrupt) and blip/rev-match either heel-toe brake or left foot brake, and/or blip with right foot (faster). Apparently Michael wasn’t that concerned with the blips/ rev-match as it sounds like he was going from 6th into 2nd (?) at the end of straight and coming out of that turn putting that engine into the rev limiter on each downshift. If I had been Michael’s engineer, I would have “yelled at him” doing that lol!

H pattern hewland derived box. Dog leg first gear. Clutch needed at the start and on the way up and down the box. Heel and toe downshifts. No left braking in this car because it’s fairly low nose and the steering columns in the way. By ‘94 schimacher and hakkinen both left foot braking. He’s also block shifting, ie missing out some gears, I think Berger and Boutsin did this maybe Prost.

Here Schumi put the car in 5th gear instead of 3rd gear twice, at the start of the race (hence the time lost and subsequent accident) and getting out of the pits after the front wing change, but he still manage to finish 3rd.

Also known as the worst looking F.1 modification in history. Let's not even talk about the "On Board" camera shots, which before this Mod were once known as the best camera angle in F.1. Inherit risk has ALWAYS accompanied being an F.1 Driver, which believe it or not has ALWAYS added to the mystique and appeal of the sport. A part of the reason many admire F.1 Drivers is because they do what they do in the face of death. You want safety? As I said, take up Figure Skating or continue playing your "Safe" version of F.1 on the PS4. Making racing "safe", takes away from what racing always was historically. A sport for our heroes to face off against death, like modern day Gladiators, whilst we admire them for it and raise them up to legendary status for it. Senna is in part whom he is for his death. Not all, but a lot of the younger generation of F.1 fans seldom know their F.1 history and therein many of them wouldn't understand how the "Halo" flies in the face of F.1 history and what it's Pre-Halo drivers, through sheer confidence, courage and bravery were able to accomplish in and for the sport without it. The numbers speak for themselves regards what has happened to F.1's popularity after the induction of the Halo. Read for yourself - www.forbes.com/sites/csylt/2019/04/28/f1-crash-continues-as-free-to-air-tv-audience-reverses-by-30-in-britain/#42569b221f1cI know the inherit risk at my line of work and accept it. As do most, if not all of us. As does every F.1 Driver. I appreciate your comment looking out for F.1 Driver's, but most F.1 drivers already have a mum and therefrom dont need you to be their mother. If life and driver safety is your concern, why are you wasting your time posting here? By the numbers more people die worldwide (driving a lot slower than F.1) on the Motorway every single day, than have passed on the track in the entire history of F.1. If crash accidents/death are so ugly for you than why dont you go post something like your posting where it matters? Perhaps because comments such as yours are only provided by "Keyboard Heroes" such as yourself? Your opinion on the Halo is the view of the minority of F.1 fans. The Race-weekend Hotels, the Race Tickets, the Race Gear, Etc. that Ive spent money on regards F.1 was not for free. I believe at the moment, the highest paid F.1 Driver's earn something like 30-40 million pounds a year. Those guys are getting paid that for many reasons. One of those reasons is (again)..inherit risk. Guys like me support F.1 because....well God, there are too many reasons to mention, some reasons Ive already mentioned to you today. I.e. its not watching guys sit down and play cards. Among other injuries causing Senna's death, Car debris from Senna's car had pierced his helmet, causing multiple fractures at the base of his skull. Halo, would have done zilch. Now as per Leclerc and Bianchi, where are the facts, other than F.1. selling their "facts" to guys like me, that the Halo saved them? Facts from multiple sources regards Senna's death are all over the net. At my old age I dont easily believe all I read, hear or see. You send me an independent inquiry by a third party not affiliated to F.1 or the manufactures of the Halo (stating your facts, regards their deaths) and I will say, yes you were right regarding Leclerc and Bianchi. That said, even if you are right, that does not take away at all from my first few paragraphs i.e. the historic spirit of the sport. Listen, I dont want to see any of these guys in F.1 die....heck I dont want to see anyone die, trust me I dont. But modern-day F.1 is erasing its own incredible history by changing the sport. Change, not in little ways, but massive ways. Maybe not regards everything, but, regards F.1 I, (like many) am a traditionalist and a purist. The facts are the facts, F.1 and its modern version of itself (including the Halo) are not fairing so well. Just a snippet provided in the link Ive sent you. Why the decline in Fans/viewership? Well some of the reasons I mentioned to you today and that doesnt mean that I and others of the same opinion as myself want to see people die. Everyone from the dawn of age (including me) has always wanted (and will always want) the Gladiator to reign triumphant.

Senna allegedly pushed for his former flatmate and fellow Brazilian Maurício Gugelmin to join the team as a pure number two driver, but the team's major sponsor John Player & Sons (JPS) insisted on a British driver which led to the signing of Dumfries. 1987 The team guaranteed Senna contractually preferential treatment over Nakajima in the allocation of equipment.Lotus used new secret helping electronics to win in 1987It was the "invention of the year" and the newest F1 thing in 1987 (computer controlled technique). It was designed for automatic acceleration and computerized traction control. Also an automatic, hydraulic wheel control was installed and many more like breaking control .. controlled by a black-box. It was a very big advantage, f.e. in the rain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3WtiWmCjZ18sJo Adelaide 1987 Senna finished second but was later disqualified when post race scrutineering revealed oversized brake ducts on his Lotus. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d32winxpq7qckMk 1988 Brasil - Senna's first race for McLaren got off to a bad start when the cars gear selector broke on the grid, causing a restart. The Brazilian was eventually disqualified for switching to the spare car after the green flag had been waved following the warm-up lap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p16XondvmNGpgpY Portugal - Prost made a slightly faster start than Senna, but the Brazilian dived into the first corner ahead. Prost responded and went to pass Senna at the end of the first lap. Senna swerved to block Prost, forcing the Frenchman to nearly run into the pit wall at 290 km/h (180 mph). Prost kept his foot down and soon edged Senna into the first corner and started pulling away. Though Prost was angered by Senna's manoeuvre, the Brazilian got away with a warning from the FIA. At the postrace team debrief, Prost voiced his anger at the move which prompted Senna to apologize to Prost for the incident. 1990 Suzuka - Senna secured the pole, but was unhappy with the side of the track it was situated on, claiming that pole should always be on the racing line. He and Gerhard Berger then went to the Japanese stewards, to request a change of position of pole to the cleaner left side of the track. The stewards initially agreed but an injunction by FISA president Jean Marie Balestre later that night rejected the decision and the original pole position remained on the dirtier, less grippy right side of the track. In addition, as revealed by F1 journalist, Maurice Hamilton,[2] the FIA had warned that crossing the yellow line of the pit exit on the right to better position oneself at the first corner would have not been appropriate, further infuriating Senna.Some in the F1 paddock found Senna's complaints as strange given that the pole was actually on the same side of the track (the inside next to the pit wall) as it had been since the first Japanese Grand Prix held there in 1987. Many also noted that Senna had not complained about the position of the pole in either 1988 or 1989, both races he had started on pole and both races he was fighting Prost (who qualified 2nd in both years) for the World Championship.After this, Senna vowed that if Prost (starting second) got the advantage into the first corner, which most were sure he would, Senna would attempt to take the lead into the first corner, regardless of the consequences. At the beginning of the race, Prost pulled ahead of Senna, who immediately tried to repass Prost at the first corner. While Prost turned in, Senna kept his foot on the accelerator and the cars collided at 270 km/h (170 mph) and spun out of the race, making Senna world champion. 1992 At a test session for the German Grand Prix, Senna and Schumacher had a confrontation in the pits, with Senna grabbing Schumacher by the collar and accusing him of endangering him by blocking him on the track. But apparently it was ok when Senna gave Schumacher a "brake test" on the straights. Senna was always loud when someone didn't see him in the mirrors, but it was OK when he "didn't see" in the mirros:Brazil 1992kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJyzp3-rl9OgjaMCanada 1993 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGepeJ1oi8aDis0 15 year old girl Senna then courted Adriane Yamin, daughter of an entrepreneur from São Paulo, who was 15 years old when they began the relationship in 1985 and often chaperoned by her mother during meetings with Senna.

[@corngrohlio]

I might need to look it up but I'm pretty sure around '92 before they had semi-auto, they came up with a gearbox that would let them just shove it into the gear required for the corner, drop the clutch and just ride the rev-limiter on the brakes. I may be wrong, but this video triggered some dormant memories of something like that. Some sort of slipper-clutch system like modern motorbikes use perhaps?

[@Putinhuylo3]

corngrohlio definately a back-torque limiter on that car.

[@Bar687]

@@corngrohlio do you mean a sort of clutch assist system on this car? as to me I have some doubts for this, but maybe I'm wrong. if you have any proofs for this, pls provide it. for sure we can hear while downshifting so long revving on the brakes. it seems like directly engaging into required gear for the corner staying on the throttle. at the same time you can find the same technique watching Prost's and Senna's Mclaren onboards before semi-auto era.

THE BEST F1 DRIVER OF ALL TIME. MR MICHAEL SCHUMACHER!

[@tesladiesel2420]

Incredible to see how much more road Michael was using on exiting turns than all the other drivers back then… with the exception of Berger. Michael let that car “walk out” on the exits, especially on the right handlers. letting the car do its thing, carrying speed all the way the way through. where as everyone else was just scrubbing speed and fighting the steering wheel / the car. I also noticed a couple of those downshifts were without any blips and waaaay into the rev limiter - a testament of how well those engines/ gearboxes were built back then. Thanks for sharing!

[@toothpik00]

Adam Clarke No, actually Berger moved across as though he would let Schumi past, then moved back across and blocked him again. Berger had every intetntion of pitting in, and so should have let Schumi pass as it made no difference to his position, but it did cost Schumi a couple of seconds.

[@adamclarke3485]

I think me and you are watching different videos dude. Funny though, because Schumi, in his career, never moved more than once did he?.......;-)

[@ontheguard]

for those you are unaware... this is the racing era where they had manual shifting and driver instinct mattered more than the technologgy. if anyone has tried racing carts, you would know a little about what it takes to shave off seconds per laps and what awesome judgement it takes to pass. but f1 is at the top with speeds requiring almost inhuman timing and instinct.... shumacher will always be legend because he raced at the top through several generations of car rules and modification of rules.

[@Karibanu]

I was going to say - active suspension? Ferrari had paddle shifting in 1989 already. Senna, Prost, Mansell all drove through some insane rules changes by then, especially Prost. Ground-effect, turbos, etc. The big difference between then & now is the design tools, makes a huge difference to reliability, and the analysis tools. Brundle came 2nd in Michael's car, it was not a bad car...

No aids, nothing! Today they really just sit and enjoy the ride... Michael Schumacher will be and has been etched in all of our hearts and minds forever. The history recorders engraved his name on many a trophy and record books. We remember by talking about this era and share with the youngster racers like him and others. And as wonderful as the internet is these races live on in the digital realm...

[@maximum.p]

I love how each lap was different back then and how they insanely used the engine brake, whereas they broke a lot of engines each year

[@alexanderthegreat6314]

Each year? After each quali they would tear down the car and have new engines and gearboxes fitted. That's why they needed a warm-up session Sunday morning, cuz everything that mattered was new. So they used to break at least two engines every weekend, because the quali engine was designed to only work for a few laps and the race engine was designed to work only for one race. And they also had spare cars, so if your car broke in the warm-up session or if you totally wrecked it in the quali, top teams like Ferrari, McLaren or Williams had one extra prepared for their no 1 driver. I even remember when Schumacher spun in the warm-up lap at Nurburgring and left the car on the track, thus delaying the start, which game him enough time to be rushed back into the pits and put in the spare car, so he wouldn't miss the first lap of the race. That was crazy stuff!!!

[@KSCKris]

Why we say from Schumacher that he is on the same level as Senna? For example this race or 2006 Brazilian grand prix, 1994 spanish grand prix, 1996 spanish grand prix (4 to 5 seconds faster than anyone else). I guess these reasons are enough.

[@robertomagnogil]

Schumi hadn't had so lucky if Senna wouldn't have died. In 94 season senna had been 1 second faster than Schumacher before he spun out.

[@2earache]

I was wondering why Schumacher was being passed by so many cars very early on - presumably that collision damage to the nose. I have no idea how much, if any, radio contact he had with the pits unless he chose to bring the car in having made the decision himself. All the same, I can certainly ‘feel’ the determination to really drive to the limit once he was back out on track and that feeling in a driver must be fantastic!
