In the end it was dark and the visibility was poor but Michael was still driving, absolutely amazing. It shows what a perfectionist he was. He used every bit of time to improve his car. This kind of commitment and devotion led to seven world titles.

[@Volante79]

I wonder how long he drove in the dark. In Singapore they need all the lights, Michael just drives in the dark :P.

[@KHAAAAAAAANNN]

+Hungary599 Exactly! People were too quick to say 'He has the best car, thats why he wins!'. So much more to being successful, Michael practically lived at Fiorano during his Ferrari days. You put the hard work in then you get the rewards at the end of it.

[@Hungary599]

+KHAAAAAAAANNN Yes, they forget how much effort he hade made to achieve those results. It didn't come easy at all. To become successful with Ferrari is much more challenging, than to win with any other team. Did you know, that in his first year at Ferrari (1996), MS won more races (three ones) than the Ferrari drivers together (A. Prost, G. Berger, J. Alesi) in the previous 5 years (1991-1995 : 2 wins) ? I think, that it tells everything about his skills.

[@TheGamerTim]

KHAAAAAAAANNN Amen

[@SH-zg8zs]

Ferrari was absolutely down in 1996, but Michael made a Team out of Ferrari and he was able to understand what went wrong and developed the car over the next years to an absolute winning car and also developed the team with his absolutely unique input. Even Mercedes nowadays has to permit, that they would not have the results today without the developement from Michael. For me, there will never be a better driver and I really really wish, we see him again soon, what means, I really hope he will get well soon.

[@TheDalitis8]

@@FicaGTI Also, Argentina qualifying. Schumacher was at his best circa 1996. Only him could have won any kind of GP with that atrocious F310.

[@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161]

Yeah, the F310 really was a complete failure. A brand new engine that had many many issues in it's first 3 years basically, a new gearbox concept that didn't really work until 97, completely messed up aerodynamics (cockpit sides, airbox, sidepods, engine cover) it was basically a truck in terms of aero, the only good thing about the F310 was the mechanical grip. The suspension setup and weight distribution were nice, other than that a complete failure. If it wasn't for Michael they'd have finished 5th in the constructor's championship that year, behind Williams, Benetton, McLaren and Jordan. The 412T2 on the other hand was a nice car. Michael said that he believed it was good enough to win the championship in 95.

[@TheKestevon]

Schunacher said Ferrari 95 was actually faster than his Benetton and the only downside was reliability issues.

[@Erthling]

I always wished for him to partner Alesi as equal members, but Michael wouldn't have that.... hence why Jean left to Benetton. Such a shame as they would have been awesome and a wonder to watch!

[@jujuju948]

That 96 car was absolute dogshit. It’s miraculous Schumi won three races

[@e2thesmooth]

According to John Barnard, after Michael drove both the V10 and V12 his feedback was he preferred the V12 because it had more engine braking and he could use this to maximise his corner entry speed… this was after Berger and Alesi spent the whole of 1995 telling Barnard the engine braking was too much and making the car unstable on corner entry. Meanwhile Berger and Alesi both crashed the 1995 Benetton in testing, describing it as ‘ugly’ to drive. Schumi had such a special talent.

[@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161]

I agree, the 96 season tells the full story. Both Alesi and Berger, good drivers I might add, struggled mightily in the B196, despite having the same engine as Williams and an upgraded aero compared to the B195 that Michael won the championship with. They played absolutely no role in the championship. Michael on the other hand finished third in a Ferrari that had many struggles. I think he would have given Hill and Villeneuve a run for the money in the B196, had he stayed.

[@Erthling]

Although true, but I read an article a long time ago about Alesi testing the B195 and setting a faster time than Michael did (at whatever track that was... Spain?) However, as Alesi did cope better than Berger in the B195, but it was more suited to Michael anyways since he was with the team since 1991....

[@benn87]

@@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161 Ross Brawn has said that Michael would have had a chance of winning the title with the B196. And I have no doubt that there is some truth in that.

[@luisvilleda4616]

@@Erthling I read that too, first try for both at the same track (Estoril I believe)

[@FLMKane]

Yes. The extra engine braking would cause a bit more rear instability when off throttle, (especially off throttle and under braking), which would allow for a faster rotation into the corner. Michael would also be able to manage that instability by combining throttle and brake inputs like he was known to do.

[@filiplevacic6371]

[@paolociarpaglini9492]

What such of phenomenal champ... The last images in the dark are simply fantastics. He was a very special champ never presumptuos, but surely in the mind he know to be the best and to try to win in Ferrari. For this was special, for his mind supremacy and absolute confidence in himself. He talks many times about the Senna death and the years later, went many persons look he as the responsable for the accident, but he was not guilty. Senna don't want to accept to loose, for that died. Michael was became the his nightmare. The day on Imola, Senna had in my opinion, a phenomenal sensitivity, choose to race as all know with a austrian flag in the cock pit. As in Alain own words: "..he fill immortal...".

[@jacintoparrinha541]

The two best champions in f1 history by far.....

[@hristoitchov]

Nice comment, but can't agree Senna died because he couldn't accept to lose. He had a mechanical failure and extremely bad luck in the crash, that's why he died. Schumacher couldn't accept losing either, so in that aspect they're quite similar.

Interestingly enough Schumacher thought that the ‘95 Ferrari would’ve been good enough to win the championship despite the car having not been a championship contender

[@shazmeister2005]

He did indeed say that. The 95 Ferrari was quick though so it shouldn’t be a surprise, Alesi and Berger were both in contention for wins, the problem was it was incredibly unreliable. I think it would have suited Michaels driving style, it was quite tail happy. Pity he picked the V10 though. Apparently he said it had better drivability. It probably had better fuel economy too, lighter and two less cylinders to go wrong. I miss the 90s where you had V8s, V10s and V12s all racing together.

[@denisbibi8677]

Michael was actually really impressed by Ferrari's V12. At the same time, he was not totally satisfied with the V10 which Ferrari was going to adopt the next year.

[@Vic-E.]

It was not up to Michael, it was a decision taken before he had actually driven the car, and after that it would be too late to cancel V10. Indeed there is a myth about Michael having said to the team, after tested the V12 for the first time, "how could you not win the championship with an engine like this?". Myth or reality? Who knows...

[@shazmeister2005]

Yes I believe Michael said he preferred the increased engine braking with the V12. The 412T2 was a good car and the Ferrari V12 was the most powerful engine in 1995 so I’m not surprised he said he could have won the championship in it, but he wouldn’t have though because it had an awful habit of breaking down! As the great Murray Walker says, to finish first, first you have to finish.

[@TakumiFujiwara80]

I wonder why they didn't use a 412T2 with a V10 and one with V12. The 2 different chassis(T1B vs T2) make an already difficult comparison more complex.

Michael could not choose between v12 and v10, in 1995 it was last year of v12, for regulation FIA that demanded that all the cars were equipped, or with v10, which mounted v8 (exceptions were honrrosas), I also begin of less the sound of the V12

[@lorenzoabraham]

The FIA ​​banned the use of engines in V12 for the sake of cost savings, a gravisímo error because later it was shown that it was economically the same as the V10 and V8 that later were the last atmospheres in F1 until 2013
