Murray Walker talks to Michael Schumacher

[@terkmadugga]

If Schumi didn't retire, and drove the same car Kimi and Felipe did, he would definately be 8, possibly 9 times world champion.

[@daniel.agoston]

sure and without the 1999 crash and 2006 interlagos puncture.. add 2 more

[@arvinbuensalida6239]

I don’t think you realize how much stress goes into a neck during an f1 season. Schumi was at his limit.

[@roadrunner2757]

[@shreysj2463]

the only guy EVER in F1 to never criticize his team or car. Compare this to Hamilton, Alonso and co. What a stellar man

[@pixelsilva]

Shrey SJ ¿Are you pulling our leg, right? ...he can not complain at all ...he enjoyed the best intergalactic spaceship ever to race at Formula 1. He was F1 champion driving the best cars and that was all... meaning, he got his hands on the best cars.. not the second or thir best car of thr grille, only the best car; once he moved to Mecedes, a shitty car, when he drove it, then he disappeared from the headlines. While driving for Ferrari he enjoyed more than a 100 races without a single malfunction. His car didn't broke from Magny Course 2000 to Susuka 2005.... he enjoyed an astonishing amount of races without suffering mechanical problems. A testament to the best team, engineers, aerodynamists, race directors, technical team ever to put at the service for a single driver (Schumi), not to mention co-drivers who where force to drive the car with setups designed solely for Schumachers driving style. So, how come he will be upset with his team if he enjoyed and benefited from the best car and team that any driver had in the history of F1??

[@Rottensteam]

+pixelsilva you must be the pinnacle of the evolution of dumb people.

[@fadliarfan212]

You definetely didn't watch Schumy from early of his years. Benetton was faaaar away from the best car on the grid on 90's, especially on 91-93, 95. 94 is arguably, but i still put it below Williams, although the margin is more thight. But his trait is the same, not complaining to the team and thank them for they effort even from the very early of his years. 96 Ferrari is disaster car, but he didn't complain and whine, and still manage to won 3 race on his very first year on Ferrari. Look at what Prost say in 91Ferrari when the car is crap! This is one trait of him that make the whole crew gladly support and work with him, so why can't he enjoy it when the car is succes by being the best car on 2002-2004?. He has every right to enjoy the benefit from that. 2nd driver always have to prove himself if they want to get the car build around them, they have to EARN IT and beat no.1 driver. Of course it's always build around first driver. If your team owner/manager, where would you put your bet? Schumy is not exception to that, in his early years on Jordan and Benetton. He manage to beat his teamate and replacement 'DeCesaris' on Jordan, and beat regurlaly 'Nelson Piquet', a 3 times World Champion (although he's near end of his career, Piquet is still no slouch back then). HE EARN IT!

Sad they are both no longer with us…..Michael is obviously still alive but it’s unlikely we’ll see him as lucid as we do here, end of an era in F1 for sure!

[@StephenLMW]

Micheal Schumacher is the king of motorsport he’s the best of the best the king of kings he’s one of very few drivers who could jump into an inferior car and win a race by a massive margin but most importantly he’s the only driver who could get into an inferior and win more than 1 world title and that’s exactly what he did Micheal won 5 out of his 7 world titles in inferior cars 1994-1995-2000-2001 and 2003 and if he stayed in 2007-2008 he would have won 2 more world titles

[@kevinprengemann7456]

Schumacher is also my favorite driver, but let's stay realistic here: Ferrari in 2001 was definately not inferior. By raw speed it was actually the fastest, though not as dominant as in 2002 and 2004.

[@reptongeek]

He could also have possibly won in 1997 and 2006 There is a train of thought that Jacques was never going to make the corner so if Michael hadn't knocked into him, he could have gone into the gravel trap instead In 2006, he finished in the top six despite starting at the back of the grid. Had he not parked at Rascasse he could have qualified maybe 2nd or 3rd. He still could have won from those grid positions. And what would have happened then. It isn't much of a reach to believe that the momentum could have swung back to him and not Fernando So his 'win at all costs' mentality actually potentially cost him two WDC's

[@Mikeb1001]

When people slate Schumacher for his mistakes, taking out Hill in 94, attempting to take out Hakkinen, stopping his car at Monaco intentionally, I genuinely don't think is and out and out cheat, he simply has a will to win which occasionally goes too far. Senna had the same will to win in which he occasionally overstepped the mark (Japan 1990?) and if you look further afield to the world of football you see Zizou and his headbutt. Great player, occasionally overstepped the mark.

[@itstoogoodtopassby]

i do think its a bit silly to say he crashed on purpose, or stopped on purpose, he could not know the outcome of his actions, so i dont think he would do that, i also think that we need more like shumi to over step the mark, yes to wake things up, its boring without it, its a mans race not a knitting compo, shumacher was brill to watch, and he was clever to, and we are still talking about him yrs after the race, he won his championships coz he was that good, sorted the men from the boys

[@swieri2003]

Schu is a gent and a liveing legend we wont see the likes for a long long time, and senna was 2, instead of argueing we should be happy that we have seein the best 2 drivers in the world ever in our lifetime a 7 seven times world champion in formula 1 is no joke, or maybe, and you can say its the car but the drivers are the most importand when it comes to makeing the car, its build around them.

[@hunt2727]

I don´t agree. Montoya was a quite tough guy and a great driver. Hamilton is a very good driver. Senna was a very fast driver. Prost trying to be slow was also a very fast driver. But Schumacher is the best of all of them, is the best of history, since as a rookie, he managed to beat Senna in an inferior car. Moreover Schumacher team mates in Beneton did nothing while in Mclaren Senna´s team mates like Berger or Hakkinen were very good in 1992 and 1993

[@FaithHealer1]

I would disagree. Senna made very similar moves to some that Schumi did, but I feel is seen as a bit of a martyr, a John Lennon-style figure. Alonso - Hungary 2007 is a good example of how he bent the rules to as good effect as Schumacher and Senna. Montoya was never as consistently strong in a race as Schumacher, Senna, Hakkenin, Lauda etc. I think Schumacher comes across as a very down-to-earth person, not only here but elsewhere, too. Just what I feel, mind.

In 1994 there was 1 point between him and Damon Hill going into the last race, during the race Schumi hit Hill taking them both out of the race. There was alot of speculation that he did it delibrately. Then in 1997 it was the same situation with him and Jacques Villeneuve, he tried it again and put only himself out. It was clearly delibrate and he was disqualified from that years championship as a result.

Right, that's why Damon Hill won the championship back then. It did not have anything to do with the Williams being the superior car.
