Where was the otherworldly wit with managing your car's parts instead of destroying it blowing up engines doing qualifying laps during races? Senna was indeed incredible, spectacular, absurd and revolutionary, but the best of all? Absolutely not, he offered to drive for free at Williams out of selfishness, since Schumacher could have left Benneton and gone to any other team that was in its best phase fighting for titles, but he went to Ferrari and did the impossible, he managed to make ferrari care about a driver's opinion and work in his favor and win all those titles, while Senna wanted so much to go to Williams that he himself gave the idea that brought his death which was to weld the bar of direction that broke and went towards his skull! In short: This is just popular opinion from Schumacher haters and fanatics who don't ask questions.
Everything about this video is perfect. - The V10 sound, which speaks for itself. - The cars which were incredibly quick and reactive in the corners thanks to how lightweight they were and due to Traction Control, unlike today's gigantic and bulky cars. - All the drivers shown, which are just legendary in their own might. - Suzuka back when the 130R was actually difficult to drive and the Casio Triangle was further back. Also, it was easier to try and overtake someone. - Schumacher going consistently faster, somehow finding even more ways to improve on his _own_ time. This era wasn't perfect, as some races could be boring, but it _certainly_ felt more real to watch than many of today's races do, and these quali's show just why.
Great analysis, this is also the V10 on FULL qualifying song. Like nothing held back within the rules ofc. Full smackdaddy on the RPMs, just maximum scream! Today when they demo them, they don't usually go over 14-15k rpm iirc.
Today's era doesn't have shit on this era tbh. Even today's drivers would rather drive these machines than the current gen which are big, bulky and cumbersome.
I stopped watching F1 in 2012. Sometimes I watch highlights or read about it. The best days are gone - they killed it. If they brought back V10 engines, and don't go below that, then it would return to being F1 - THE PINNACLE OF MOTORSPORT. What we have now is just pathetic.
Out qualifies his teammate by 0.857 seconds. The F2001 was the best car over the course of 2001, but Schumacher was absolutely a difference maker for being so dominant that season.

I remember as a teen waking up on sundays to find my father making pasta, the smell the sauce being cooked by him, the roaring of those V10 engines screaming like crazy on the TV. We would watch shumy and mika fight each other like madmen. Oh what great memories, I will cherish them all my life
As Hakkinen called him in Belgium 2000, he is The Michael. One of the very few people so talented that even I feel jealous, and I've only raced go-karts and simulators as a casual hobby.
I wasn’t fan of Michael Schumacher back in midd 1990’s but I have to say he was an exceptional F1 driver and one of the greatest Champions we had in F1 racing. Salute 🫡 to Michael Schumacher. ❤
As far as I know, most of the people didn't like him for the mid-90s because media tried to blame him, but it all was Briatore's fault (from black flags to traction control to a barged barge board) - the master of unfair tricks and tactics. Except Jerez 1997 where Michael's brain failed. :-D
The era was great. And as a viewer you got the feeling they really used the cars, sometimes you got the feeling, the cars were bending under the load they put on it. You saw Michael or Mika driving on the very edge and you could see that's it, it is impossible to go any faster - the car would break or they will crash. It was epic to watch, always mindblowing and somehow unreal to see, what they could to with the cars. On top of that the screaming engines - there was nothing left than goosebumps watching it. Last time i saw someone really pushing the car to the limit like Schumacher here was Verstappen '21 in Jeddah - and he crashed. I remember watching Verstappens lap and i immediately thought that he will crash, or that he will deliver one of the greatest laps of the last 10 years.
Michael driving supremacy was just awesome, incredible. He had in his nature the flash reflex for drive in this way, back over the limits, accurate front for take under control an undrivable car for all the others...
I come back to this video at least a dozen times each month to remind myself of why Michael Schumacher is my hero as well as the greatest of all time, I love how on each lap he goes just that little bit faster in each sector on all 3 laps no one and I mean no one else could do that, keep fighting Michael 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🐐🐐🐐🏎🏎🏎
Imagine spending all day just trying to get closer to the pole time , only for the guy to go to even faster. Montoya that day really swallowed a bitter pill
One of his best Races for me is Hungary 1998 how he Pulled off Quali Laps in the Race to overhaul the two Mclarens something we will never the likes of again
Yeah, god that was a great race. I think for me it has to be France 2004 when Schumacher went for a FOUR stop strategy and made it work by just hammering fast lap after fast lap like a maniac. And then Ruben’s snatching 2nd place at the last corner! I remember being on the edge of my seat the entire race. One of the all-time best displays of raw driving talent and sheer domination imo.
@@Foxhunter_DE the fact that he was in a mid-field car (at best) in a monsoon and lapping 3sec quicker than the rest of the field for an entire race tells you everything you need to know. Can you imagine that today?Alonso, Hamilton, Vettle… The second they aren’t in a dominant car, they struggled. Schumi was able to take cars that had absolutely no business at the front of the grid and squeezed every drop of performance possible out of them and then some throughout his entire career. There will never be another Schumi. #keepfightingmichael
During his three fast laps Michael increase the speed of 6 km/h on the last speed relevator, from 298 to 304 km/h! . In other words he founded the way to exit faster by the last corner before the long straight.
1:34 ...they way the car slides around corner is unreal. I dare to say that no other driver before and after him was able to control the car to that degree - not even Senna. And not just during a qualifying lap. He was also able to turn on qualifying mode during a race and drive 10 consecutive laps like this without hardly ever making a mistake. True legend.
An excerpt from John Allen's book "The Edge of Greatness": Being on the limit is also about feeling the grip level which the track is offering and tailoring your braking and cornering so that you are on the limit at all times but never over it. You must have an intuitive feel for the level of grip and because the track is a living thing, with natural oils coming out of it at varying temperatures, the grip level can change quite dramatically in a matter of minutes. The driver must have enormous sensitivity to changes in track conditions. Speed is not just about doing one fast lap, it is about being able to sustain laps at close to maximum intensity throughout a race. As Schumacher reflects: "The most important thing for me is that feeling of being on the limit, of pushing myself and always pushing the boundaries. For example, during qualifying at Suzuka in 2001 I did a lap which was eight tenths faster than the computer said was possible with our car. That was a feeling of surpassing yourself, which is totally regenerative. It was such a powerful affirmation for me." And BTW, Barrichello's Suzuka qualifying lap was 0,839 seconds slower: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Japanese_Grand_Prix
not to doubt schumi's greatness (or general superiority over rubens lol) but there's still a possibility the two were running different race strategies and had different fuel loads
@@stroock6394 they were driving with extremely low fuel in those qualifyings. Most of the time for 3 laps only: 1 slow out lap 1 fast all or nothing lap 1 slow in lap - back to the pits
To think that he could have easily won the titles in 97, 98, 99 (without broken leg) and 06 without the bad luck, is astonishing. I've been watching F1 since 93 and the three best drivers I've seen are Schumacher, Alonso and Verstappen. Räikkönnen the only driver knocking on the door of that top 3 for me.
it has been 10 years now since the introduction of the v6 and i still havent got used to it sound wise. i think the switch from v8 to hybrid v6 might have been the biggest mistake theyve ever done to the sport. it was so unique to f1

Schumi was able to take cars that had absolutely no business at the front of the grid and squeezed every drop of performance possible out of them and then some throughout his entire career. There will never be another Schumi. #keepfightingmichael
During his three fast laps Michael increase the speed of 6 km/h on the last speed relevator, from 298 to 304 km/h! . In other words he founded the way to exit faster by the last corner before the long straight.
I miss micheal and Ferrari 💔
simply the greatest.
G O A T
1:34 ...they way the car slides around corner is unreal. I dare to say that no other driver before and after him was able to control the car to that degree - not even Senna. And not just during a qualifying lap. He was also able to turn on qualifying mode during a race and drive 10 consecutive laps like this without hardly ever making a mistake. True legend.
An excerpt from John Allen's book "The Edge of Greatness":
Being on the limit is also about feeling the grip level which the track is offering and tailoring your braking and cornering so that you are on the limit at all times but never over it. You must have an intuitive feel for the level of grip and because the track is a living thing, with natural oils coming out of it at varying temperatures, the grip level can change quite dramatically in a matter of minutes. The driver must have enormous sensitivity to changes in track conditions. Speed is not just about doing one fast lap, it is about being able to sustain laps at close to maximum intensity throughout a race. As Schumacher reflects:
"The most important thing for me is that feeling of being on the limit, of pushing myself and always pushing the boundaries. For example, during qualifying at Suzuka in 2001 I did a lap which was eight tenths faster than the computer said was possible with our car. That was a feeling of surpassing yourself, which is totally regenerative. It was such a powerful affirmation for me."
And BTW, Barrichello's Suzuka qualifying lap was 0,839 seconds slower:

not to doubt schumi's greatness (or general superiority over rubens lol) but there's still a possibility the two were running different race strategies and had different fuel loads
@@stroock6394 they were driving with extremely low fuel in those qualifyings. Most of the time for 3 laps only:
1 slow out lap
1 fast all or nothing lap
1 slow in lap - back to the pits
@@stroock6394
They had the same fuel load. THat rule came in 2003
The Best!
The best ever honestly amazing!!
I feel so sorry for anyone who only became a fan of F1 after 2014! This sound was everything!
Really sad to see Ferrari in their current status from these halcyon days. Schumi was the best I ever saw
This was also when 130r was a proper corner, and grass/gravel to punish mistakes (not painted-on run-offs that sanitize race tracks these days).
Indeed!!!
Epic time not only in F1
Happy birthday Michael we miss you so very much 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🐐🐐🐐
This is peak F1
James Allen got loads of stick back in the day, little did we know what we in for with David ‘Crofty’ Croft 😅
La vitesse à laquelle il passe les virages est incroyable !!! 🙏🏻🙌
Best cars ever. Listen how they scream. Like beasts. A weapon in the hands of MS. Ehhhm, Montoya WHO?
those F1 looked so fast and nimble!! i don't care if new one are 'faster'. Im not here looking for laptimes... im here for sensations
What an awesome thought.
The real GOAT.
With the same dominant level of cars as Hamilton, he'd be on 10 championships easily.
To think that he could have easily won the titles in 97, 98, 99 (without broken leg) and 06 without the bad luck, is astonishing.
I've been watching F1 since 93 and the three best drivers I've seen are Schumacher, Alonso and Verstappen. Räikkönnen the only driver knocking on the door of that top 3 for me.
GOAT
Schumi wird für alle Ewigkeit der beste Rennfahrer aller Zeiten bleiben!
he just looks so fast
No halo. No DRS. No v6 turbo trolley battery engine. Pure speed, epic noise. This is FORMULA 1.
No colour, no sound, small screen. This is television! Come on dude.. time moves on, we had this great era of F1, we have a different one now.
I think the halo's proved its worth, I agree with the other stuff though, it'd be nice to see manufacturers get more choice with engines.
You can imagine that Ferrari altered the rear wing since Schumacher finally improved from 295 to 302 on the fastest speed statistic.
That is taking 'the Michael'. How do the other drivers feel? Legendary stuff from a legend.
Goat
Oh i miss that sound so much 😢 Schumi is the goat !
We miss you Michael
The sound of the V10 is like the war cry of an avenging angel compared to the lawnmowers on steroids now.
Love the sight on Mika and the others just watching. Priceless.
Today they are all out pushing for laptimes and these moments are kind off lost.
I don't wanna be that guy but its amazing how he managed to find 3 tenths while having a little moment at spoon curve in final lap, just astonishing!
and imagine the F2002 would be even better....
without this car Schumacher would never be this good! Best F1 car ever!
G.O.A.T.
it has been 10 years now since the introduction of the v6 and i still havent got used to it sound wise. i think the switch from v8 to hybrid v6 might have been the biggest mistake theyve ever done to the sport. it was so unique to f1
That car is just gorgeous
