Loving this!!! Much of Mercedes’ success has coincided with that of mercurial driver Lewis Hamilton. In terms of race wins, he is by far the most successful member to have donned the Silver Arrows overalls. It is, therefore, surprising that when asked about their favourite driver, the engineering staff at the team did not take the name of the 36-year-old. The Brackley Brothers - Andrew Shovlin, James Vowles, Ron Meadows, and Simon Cole - were present on F1’s podcast called Beyond the Grid. They have had a long haul at the team, having been present since it was BAR, then Honda, then Brawn GP, and finally, Mercedes. For them, German legend Michael Schumacher is the best driver they have worked with. “Michael Schumacher, but mainly because I was in the awe of him before he arrived and when he left the team, I was even more in the awe of him just because of how he behaved and treated all the team members,” said Ron Meadows. “Is Lewis listening? Does he listen to your podcast?” Simon Cole asked with a little chuckle. “I would say Michael Schumacher, not just because it’s sort of the common theme, but because he was genuinely impressive when we worked with him.” Chief strategist Vowles had a similar opinion. He spoke about how Schumacher completely changed his initial perception of him. “I would go with Michael because I had a perception that was entirely wrong of him before he joined,” he said. “I thought he was arrogant, I thought he was cold because that’s the impression you got. It took me just minutes before I realized that’s not true. “And his greatness really shone in that period where we were with him and we learned a lot from him.” It is tough to leave out Jenson Button as far as engineer Shovlin is concerned. They duo formed an impressive partnership that saw Button win the world championship in 2009. For Shovlin, it was tough to look beyond Button. “I can’t leave Jenson out, can I? I saw, as an engineer, I was learning on-the-job very much with him and just a lot of happy memories and funny moments.”

@@demdjen77 I mean.....not to be rude but we all know Schumacher had nothing to do with Mercedes success today. How could he? He left in 2012 driving V8's. The sport had a massive regulation change to V6 Hybrid cars in 2014. Schumacher never got anywhere near these cars. Never even drove them, never mind tested then to give feedback to the engineer's. And he wasn't even Mercedes best driver. He lost to Rosberg every year. You do realise that they are only saying this about Michael because he's ill, right?

I'm much more a fan of your interviews with Team Principals, Designers and Engineers, than drivers, and this was the best yet! Can you look at lining up interviews with some of the other leadership teams that have been together for a while in the other teams, their tales will be epic too.

This was my favorite Beyond the Grid. Gave me a real appreciation for why Mercedes has done so well. These guys have stuck together for 20 years through thick and thin and through many different team owners. The loyalty and constancy is the secret besides their obvious talent. And their reverence for Michael Schumacher, who never won a race for the team, and how genuinely upset they were for him that he didn’t win at Mercedes because of how much he deserved it given how hard he worked to build the team, was something special.

51.00-51.19 is the most important thing ever said and the deciding factor. Thats why Mercedes, as Ferrari before them, are dominating F1. That what makes the difference of being that little bit faster than your opponent and what decides about winning a championship or loosing it. Making the difference. And as it was Michael who brought that to the team, next to all the other important things, there is no doubt what driver really got that edge over all the other drivers ever in F1. Really fascinating how these guys explain why Michael was so important for the team, why without him Mercedes would NOT dominate F1 today and why this driver definetely is the most complete driver ever.
