I'm a big Schumi fan but you've gotta love Brundle's 'I know exactly what you were doing' type call in 97. Hope MSC pulls through his current 'race'. Legend forever
Yes but when you're racing you're not going to go "Oh there's someone on my inside, eh, I'll let him go past", but you're going to go "Oh, there's someone on my inside, I'll make him work for it to overtake >:)"
Dirty or desperate to win? I’d argue that many of the best drivers have been dirty at one time or another to try and gain an advantage, Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Vettel have all been guilty of it. Only really in the early years I’d argue drivers weren’t as dirty, knowing that a crash, even a small one could spell disaster.
The only three final showdowns we've had since then is 2014 (hardly exciting since all Hamilton had to do was basically finish without any problems), 2016 (a little bit more exciting, but when Rosberg passed Verstappen it was pretty much game over) and 2021 (Very good fight. One of Hamilton's best drives. Shame about the way the last lap was handled but Verstappen was a worthy champion that year). And with the way things currently are, it might be a while before we get the next one. At least Indycar has some good racing, but the stakes just don't feel the same way since it's only an American Championship not "the World Championship".
Can't wait. Hope to see Alonso on pole in wet conditions with Vettel lingering in 5th. Can't see Vettel being that far back though so Alonso will have to hope for an alternator failure or crash.
"that didn't work Michael you hit the wrong part"... part of me does no respect Schumacher because of such tactics (including the Damon Hill incident).. Had they been both out here with Villeneuve, Michael would have been champion by a point's margin.
While I don't think Vettel's the best, he has nothing to be ashamed of. It's not his fault that he's in the best car by a huge margin, and it's not his fault that the tires this year suck, and were changed halfway through the season.
Alonso would have won anyway. He finished the race on the podium. Schumacher had to win with Alonso retiring to win the championship. The real point where Michael lost was the engine failure in Suzuka the round before and his mistake in the Monaco qualifying.
Frankly all this conversation below is nothing more than conjecture, the only way youd know who was best would be to have alonso and vettel (or oher top drivers...) in 100% identical red bulls (or whoever has the best car) for EVERY SINGLE RACE. but you can keep dreaming because Prost vs: senna guarantees that wont ever happen again due to the rivalry and in house fighting. fact is, if your earning points on a consistent basis in F1 nowadays, your a top tier driver, it all depends on the team, the car and the luck surrounding you, that determines your career's fate.
and red bull proved my point with mark webber, a different wing here, a deaf ear from vettel there (team orders) made a big difference in who got the WDC trophies...
by that logic you can say he gave away the 2007 title, he was also robbed in 2012 and could have easily won it in 2010 without his last lap puncture in spain. Hamilton deserved at least one title with Mclaren.

That didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him. Lol. Pray he has a recovery, but he was a dirty racer.

Senna was a dirty driver too

1988 and 1989 weren't the final races though. They both had Australia afterwards

Fuvking brilliant video I'm in awe
IS THAT GLOCK?!
why does everybody believe Hamilton Alonso and Kimi are faster than Vettel there is no evidence or support for that claim.
Damn I miss Murray ... :_(
2003? That ended in the final race of the season.
+The Undisputed no i think it was done one race before the end
Nope, Raikkonen had 83 points to Schumacher's 92 with 10 points still left on the board in Suzuka.
@@Und1234 Well, technically it went down to the final round, but realistically it was over for both Montoya and Raikkonen before they got to Japan.
what about 1950 - 1956 - 1958 - 1964 - 1968 -1974 - 1976 - 1981 - 1982 - 1996 -1998 - 1999 - 2003?
+Lorenzo 0697 Indeed!
Lorenzo 0697 The first few ones don't really have access to, but I think they should have included 98 mostly
what about lauda vs hunt
Song?
Awwww sheeeeit!
'03 was a grueling finale! where is it on this list?
Heart was in my mouth
2021 mazepin vs latifi vs stroll...you heard it here first
Well, it was Latifi who decided the championship that year.
Can't wait. Hope to see Alonso on pole in wet conditions with Vettel lingering in 5th. Can't see Vettel being that far back though so Alonso will have to hope for an alternator failure or crash.

Andile Andile Schumacher got disqualified so Villeneuve would of won
Really want to see Hamilton or Alonso driving a Red Bull car and see how much faster they are then Vettel
Cloud Still believe that?
Cloud Still believe that?
They would be faster by -2 seconds 😉
What's the song?
HulkenbergRacing15 Ennio Morricone - Sixty Seconds to What. It's from the film For a Few Dollars More.
Brazil 2006!?
What about Hakkinen v Schumacher 1998 & 2000
2000 was decided in the penultimate race
2006?
formulacountdown yeah where the hell la

It was a great race but probably not up there because Alonso won due to Fisichella cutting Michael's rear tyre.
Alonso would have won anyway. He finished the race on the podium. Schumacher had to win with Alonso retiring to win the championship. The real point where Michael lost was the engine failure in Suzuka the round before and his mistake in the Monaco qualifying.

2000?,2001?,2002?,2003?,2004?
2000???
Decided in the penultimate round in Suzuka. Malaysia was the last race then.
and Senna X Prost? affz
Vettel
1988 and 1989 you missed out the bloodiest of all F1 grudge matches between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost...
they ended in suzuka the 2nd last race of the sseason
PFFFF 1976 , 1988 , 1989 , 1990 , 1991 ,
Ferro Rosso 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 were decided at the penultimate race.
I'm pretty sure it was a joke, I dont think anyone genuinely believes it :P
bruhh, no senna? have you lost your mind?
Hachi Roku All of Senna's title showdowns were at the penultimate race that's why not.
What nothing with Senna in it, this is sacreledge.
Vettel should be ashsmed.... Damn well KNOWS Alonso n Hamilton are bettr
When is Hamilton going to admit he bought the 2008 championship?
by that logic you can say he gave away the 2007 title, he was also robbed in 2012 and could have easily won it in 2010 without his last lap puncture in spain. Hamilton deserved at least one title with Mclaren.
@@ksfreestylers1146 damn that joke is probably older than you are.
Vettel
