This one actually is not counted as pole position. Officially atleast.
@@texas1325 not a pole position but still won the qualifying
Not Really. He had a penalty for an accident with Bruno Senna in the previous race
18 years apart
Call me a fool but this is the most insane accomplishment of his career. 43 years old, on an average car, on the most unforgiving track in the championship, he delivered a masterclass. If this is not the greatest driver ever, I seriously don’t know how you define greatness.
No, you are not a fool. This was The Michael showing us the truth that day.
I honestly agree when lewis joined mercedes it was considered a shock move because they were back then a midfield team now imagine a 43 yr old in his 2nd f1 stint getting the fastest lap with this unreliable midfield car against prime seb and prime alonso with a ferrari and red bull now imagine outpacing them on the most unforgiving track with arguably the 6th fastest car at 43 yrs old, genuinely his greatest feat imo
Mercedes were very quick around monaco that weekend remember. Rosberg qualified a tenth off this lap and finished less than a second behind the winner webber.
i think that single lap defines his greatness i often watch replays of the pole sitter at monaco his line is unique to him especialy the first corner...nobody else takes that r/h line they mostly dart left and take a bigger swing in
We all know who's the greatest, Sir. LEWIS!
43 years old: Pole Position in Mônaco with the fourth or fifth car on the grid. G.O.A.T
That car was quick over 1 lap but it used to shred its tyres compared to other teams
It's Monaco
If you are brave you are fast
@@aliegg4 Schumacher always asked a shorter (from wheels to wheels for better turn) car for Monaco, he really did know the track perfectly
The truth about Schumacher needing his teammates to sign #2 driver contracts so they weren't allowed to beat compete against him on a level playing field has been leaked. His whole first career is based in a lie:
"At the time I handled people like Rubens Barrichello, Eddie Irvine, Giancarlo Fisichella and Jean Alesi, and every time we went to sign a contract with Michael Schumacher or Ferrari it always had conditions in it" - Eddie Jordon.
"Whether I signed with Eddie Irvine, Rubens Barrichello or whoever they were - there was a clause there that they always had to play second-fiddle to Michael Schumacher.' Eddie Jordan
"I had an opportunity to go to Ferrari but the contract that was offered by Jean was that if Michael was 5th and I was 4th, I had to move over, and, if I was 1st and he was 2nd, I had to move over.I couldn't sign a contract that committed me to being a #2" - David Coulthard.
"Ferrari, the contract that was offered effectively made me, on paper, number two to Michael. I've no doubt that Michael was the stronger driver out of the two because I recognise he was a better overall package than I was but at that stage of my career, I just couldn't accept signing a number two contract and that's why I decided to sign at McLaren and I think that was the right decision for my career." David Coulthard.
If only Ayrton had lived...
43 years old at the time, changing the brake bias at nearly every corner, getting pole in a perfect way, a true champion !

@@peterlustig3175 Just rewatched off the back of Gooby's comment, spent the last 5 mins in slow motion trying to understand how he timed that exact part. Well spotted, Peter Lustig!!
I always said- if tyres were "normal" tyres like for example until 2010 season, or maybe similar to 2017,2018 and today, so drivers coul push to the limit more, and not lile those artificial Pirelli tyres from 2011-2016 seasons, especially 2011-2014, Michael would got more podiums, because he would be able to drive the car above limit.. Problems in this shitty era from 2011,2012 especailly was that tyres were extremely aetificial...

@@smellymewi Andrew Shovlin credits the Schumacher years with conditioning the team in how to perform to championship level
pew that is exactly why. Schumacher was never there to win championships. mercedes has been researching v6 hybrids for a long time around ~2007. Schumacher was needed to complete the eventual dominance of the silver cars. Everywhere schumacher went, those teams became championship contenders. From benetton, to mercedes. All the recent dominant teams where all in part thanks to schumacher besides Red Bull.

This was Schumi's Samson moment. For 80 seconds he was the Schumacher of old again. Absolutely exhilarating to watch live seeing the purple sectors and the time being up on provisional pole. Think I actually screamed with joy!
What is mindblowing is that while passing just a few centimeters away from the barriers in such speeds he is still able to reach and change car settings before almost every corner. What a driving computer. A true legend.
"What a little star!" Never heard that team radio from Ross before. They both knew how special that lap had been.
I remember it live. Yes I am patting myself on the back.
Fun story - watched a news report on the qualifying sessions for this Monaco GP back then on Fox Sports(Asia) as an 8 year old kid. The only words I remember hearing from Ross(before I watched this video obviously) were "Pole position Michael, fantastic". But I also remember him saying some words before he said those words. I finally found out what the full quote was when I watched this video.
What exactly did he mean by that though I've been wondering . . . "Little" ⭐ is he referring to Schumi's height there :-D
43 years old in a car that wasn't the fastest and wasn't reliable and he still got pole around Monaco

Man how many times does he change the brake bias in just 1 lap, before a corner, after a corner, on the straights . . .
The legend and only GOAT
mid chicane
*Goatifi
He took pole with 4th best car on the grid, in Monaco, at 43 years of age, changing 6 times brake bias during one lap where he needs all focus on the driving.
Without a shadow of doubt, THIS is THE GREATEST single lap in F1 history!
One pf the best on modern F1, but not of all time
And a Rookie like Mazepin can't push any buttons on his steering wheel. 🤣
The track where skill matter the most. And guess what - Schumacher got pole in a shitbox at 43 years of age. He is the greatest F1 ever had. Never jumped to a winning team and was crucial for Ferrari and Mercedes ressurection. Not to mention that Schumacher’s cars were not even half dominant as the cars of so called “goat” who was sitting in unbeatable car the whole hybrid era.
@@Maroslavka Everyone knows Michael is the best ever, even LH accepts this fact. I don't understand why guys like you start whining about Merc's dominance out of nowhere and bring them into every F1 conversation out of context.
Arguably is the 4th best car on the grid due to the amount of reliability issues but I don't really think there's another car better rather than McLaren and Red Bull Racing taking in count that Ferrari was a shittybox that year and Lotus hadn't a competitive car the first part of the season, so i'll say it's 3rd best car on qualifying pace.
0:56
Classic Michael, changing brake bias mid corner.
Just GOAT things
0:54 Look at him going one-handed through the swimming pool chicane, what an absolute madman
More than 10 years later and it is still magic to see this lap
I loved Micheal in his Mercedes days… the guy had nothing to prove to anyone when he came back.. just a shame he wasn’t there for 2014 or we could of been looking at a 45 year old 8 time world champion.
It's a nice thought, but he'd have been very unlikely to have beaten Rosberg
@@jaredbowhay-pringle1460 exactly. He didn't manage to in his days at Mercedes so it's very unlikely. Unfortunately, the older you get, the more rusty your driving gets too
Could have
We would have had a 5 time WDC Nico Rosberg.
Rosberg outperformed Schumacher in every race apart from 1
Monaco is circuit where the driver matters. And right there he takes pole which show that he was the best even at his 40's
But got beaten by Nico Rosberg every season.
@@321RrelyT tbh looking at 2012 he could have finished ahead of Nico if he didn't have so many mechanical issues, he had way more that season.

the cameras are still shot today.
Nah his internet sucks he has pretty nice specs
Gee Gee I can’t tell if you are joking or if this is a whoosh situation.
@Gee Gee r/woosh trap beware
Just proof that Michael never lost it. He just came back in a failing team and once again showed his greatness. Greatest of all time. Rebuilt that Mercedes team and set up them up perfectly for what followed. If it meant the same as before, he could have stuck round for another year or so. He’d have gone past 10 so easily. Supremely fit even at that age. LH has no idea how lucky he is that Lauda had picked him for that seat. He owes everything to that man.
Lewis knows it to, he always shows his respect for Niki
He didn't join a failing team, he joined a starting team, that he helped cultivate! There's a huge difference.

2012 is and will be for a long time the best F1 season. Many, many different winners (7 in the first 7 races), many world titles together (2 Vettel, 1 Ham, 2 Alonso, 1 Kimi, 7 Schumi, 1 Button...), the beautiful V8 and 2012 cars, unpredictable races because of the tyres...and an AWESOME ending to the season. Not even joining all the best V6T races you get half of the emotion we had in 2012. That season was simply brilliant.
Totally agree

"What a little Star." says everything about the relationship between Ross Brawn and Michael. Brawn was soooo proud of this lap of Michael.
Imagine what could have happened if he acc started on pole, he could have won the GP
My fondest memory of him, at 43 years old he was still able to put it on pole on the most difficult track of the season.

@@danielscasny9282 you can set the brake to the front or rear. If you have to much on the front you front wheels will block, this happens the same with the rear tires if the brakes are to much to the rear.
His best pole, when the track levels the car disparity, just goes to show the old man still had it.
You didn't watch Schumi in his prime?
@@f1pro299 of course, but that's the point. He was in his prime before he retired, this is a better achievement considering he was past his best and wasn't driving a dominant ferrari.
I would definitely put this in his top 5, especially because of the context. Among his other bests are 96 Monaco, 96 Argentine GP, 98 Suzuka, most of 97/98 poles actually. Those Newey Mclarens were rockets, and Schumacher was consistently driving the 2nd - 4th fastest cars. Also the face that those cars were harder to drive, Schumacher had that much more advantage over everyone else.
I was there at casino! Being Ferrari fans we got on our feet for Schumi’s masterclass talent and effort even though he was is in a Merc because he had stated he wore the red helmet to pay homage to his Ferrari years. What a champion.
rare champion, champion that never forget his previous team.
Going through the Swimming Pool chicane one-handed...
That's bravery!
The years and the routine. :) :D
That's nothing compared to his manual shifter years
How bout *insanity* . Yea tht sounds better
mastery...
Watch Senna's laps. Manual 'box and half the lap is one handed...
What a lap! It was a shame that he had a penalty...
And at that time, Mercedes wasn't as strong as today.
Grid penalties are nonsense. Schumacher gained no advantage from his collision in the previous race, he penalized himself already.
@@ilferrari The accident was kind of B. Senna's fault too, since he moved under braking. Just Damon Hill was salty and Michael didn't have the best reputation.

He would have got a last Victory if it wasn't for the penalty
The ride of a lifetime. I was 12 and brought into tears that day. The hero of my childhood went back at it again in the best way possible: doing it in Monaco, home of many of his iconic moments, driving with one hand for half of the track like it was nothing for him. Keep fighting Schumi❤❤❤❤❤

Álvaro Montalvo Calm down, he had his hand of the wheel for a few seconds.
Judging from the onboard video's quality, they REALLY did not expect him to put it on "pole" :D
Brawn must have been smiling ear to ear. He had been with Michael all those years and got to witness one final masterclass performance with him. What a team.
I think one of the most impressive things he's doing here is changing at every corner (or almost) his brake balance
This was Probably Michael’s Greatest pole lap. Wish he started from the front fare chance he would have stayed there. Don’t think the car failure would have occurred in clean air.
I would say his greatest pole lap was Malaysia 99, coming back from injury and getting pole by a second, that was just genius
You can't avoid having fuel pressure problems because of clean air. Ask Rubens.
I love the old fashion way to adjust brake bias.
It is a stick that can move forward or backward to adjust brake balances but nowadays drivers like to adjust it faster so they use switches on the steering wheel, back in Schumacher era they used stick to adjust that. you can check some old video clips
@@gerhardchen There was actually two ways to do it (the stick and a knob on the steering wheel), and, depending on where on the track he was, and the amount he needed to change (the knob could do more fine-grained adjusting than the stick), Michael would use either of the two.
Nowadays renault does it automatically LOL
Gerhard Chen Some teams still use the stick to adjust it
There is NOTHING IN THE WORLD like a Schumacher in Monaco onboard video - how lightning fast is he!!
There is, Ayrton Senna at Monaco. He was the king of those streets and still is. Love Michael tho!
Michael was born to race and this right here is all the proof you need. To nail a lap around one of the most complex tracks on the F1 calender in a frankly average car and to best everyone else at the grand old age of 43 is simply incredible. This footage never ever ceases to amaze me.
Not one of. THE most complex track on the F1 calendar. I once heard a commentator say driving at Monaco is like driving your car in your living room.
That car was 1.5 sec a lap slower than any of the top cars and he managed to put it on pole. Unreal.
lol.. idiot
marble89 talking to yourself is weird brah
Strange how many likes people have for this comment, without knowing any facts. That Merc was very aggressive on tires, which was why it was good on a single lap. Not very good at all in a race distance though. Michael was like his old self here, but sadly he was very inconsistent at times. He deserved to stay in that team though, because without all the car failures that were out of his control, he would've beaten Nico over the season.
In Monaco. The only real DRIVERS track where the car is less important than the driver. With 43 Years an absolute beast.
Greiguci Wootchie that’s because Monaco is not a track where a car with high top speed is required.It is a track where the set up through the slow corners has to be good and also where the skills of the driver is very important.Michael is and was the best driver of all time.
When you're on headphones about to go to sleep and forget that this was the era where cars were reving past 16,000 rpm...ouch.
A true Senna-esque lap around Monte Carlo, extracting absolutely everything from the car and using every inch of race track. We miss you Michael.

Unbelievable how he lived his life at 250h+ km/h, but had a real life threating accident doing something else. Thats life. Blessings to him
What Schumacher did for me is just amazing , he went to Ferrari where he could just stay at Benetton and win another championship nonono he went into failed Ferrari rebuild it , spend almost all the day in garage improving and building a car and then dominating with it from 00-04 .. and then joining Mercedes and just again took all the time with his team to try and improve it but his time ran out , you cant escape age but he left a mark in F1 that i think no other did not even Senna aldo he was a great racer and great human.
He was twice the age of almost every other driver on the grid and took em all back to school even though they all had superior cars and the Mercedes was still being developed at the hands of Schumacher himself.
Merc was kind of the 5th best car in that super competitive 2012 season (so obviously far from the worst).

I still like Hamilton but i have to admit Shumacher is a beast.
Micheal’s one last dance with the streets of Monaco.
Just look at the smoothness in his steering, just magnificent Schumacher is the best of all time and developed Mercedes so they ruled for the next decade
He probably would've won. Imagine the scenes.
Maybe he would even be there for another season. They dropped him because he had less points than Rosberg but this was mainly because of China where Rosberg won and he had a DNF due to a error of his pit crew. Schumi was equally, if not better than Nico in 2012.
Would have been the best win ever and he also would have been the oldest driver to win an f1 race at the age of 43 being 2 years older than Mansell in Adelaide 1994

Not many know that he came back to the sport with left brain and vertebrae injuries from the superbike accident he had in 2009. Yet he put this car on 'pole' at Monaco, at the age of 43.
The best ever ❤ we will Never forget u Michael . Thanks for All the memories
I read this article recently where the contention is that Michael's driving style and setup preferences didn't really suit these 2010-2012 machinery and Pirelli tyres. Monaco's the sort of place where his natural style - loose back end and incredible car control - minimizes the how understeery these cars were. And wet weather. What a lap.
Yes, indeed. Montreal 2011 would have been a victory for him, instead the race was suspended until the rain stopped and the track was dry again.
The greatest of all Time
Master of Monaco
What a little star.
Pole position, well done Michael.
Fantastic, well done.
Looking back it’s wonderful to hear Ross Brawn’s voice.
You can feel their deep friendship in those words.
And I guess Ross knew how difficult those times really were for Michael.
I am also sure that the consequent development of those years (especially with the help of Brawn and Schumacher) paved the way to the long success series of Mercedes in F1.
Lucky to have watched this champion of champions work his way to success and glory. KeepFightingLegend
What a legend... total epic levels on everything
he deserved that win, the penalty really hit him hard
Thank you FOM I’ve wanting this without the commentary since 2012 just to hear the car. I jumped up and down the living room when Michael got pole that day. Miss him so much.
I’m glad we saw Michael Schumacher one last time P1 it was a mega lap for sure. 57 one handed swimming pool chicane. Legend my GOAT 😢😲😃💪👊❤️✌️👍
One of the best lap in f1 history
Hence proved : Michael is the 🐐❤
Thank you for all!!!!
The best pole lap ive ever seen.
