Eddie Irvine recalls the sinking feeling that the drivers had when they got their first look at their car for 1996. We were in the shit in 1996. I remember when the car came out I said, ‘That looks worryingly different from everyone else’s car.’ It turned out that everyone else was right and we were wrong. It was the second worst car [after the Jaguar R2] that ever sat on a race-track. It was madness, the exact opposite of what Ross brought to the team. It was all inspiration and no measurement. How Michael drove that car, I’ll never know, it really impressed me. I was scared to turn the steering wheel because you didn’t know if it was going to turn immediately, in half a second or in a second, you had no idea what it would do. He drove it on every millimetre of the road. I couldn’t stand getting into it. He won three races, which is one of the greatest achievements in motor racing history. He had four pole positions with it and I stood there in awe of his performances that year. That was the year that Michael really earned his money. I’m totally averse to aerodynamic sensitivity, I don’t like a car where the aerodynamic package moves. The first Ferrari was a massively pitch sensitive car and roll sensitive. I think that is where Michael’s genius came out, because he could drive around that, I couldn’t. But then as Ferrari got better over the next few years I got closer to his pace. I don’t think I was trying harder or anything like that, it’s just that the car came to me, the understanding of what the driver needed from the car got better.
it's always easy to blame the car for everything. For sure it was not the best car of the circus, but I don't believe it was trash. MS won three times (and you cannot win in Moza if you dont have a hell of an engine!) and the following season he even risked to win the championship. Against a Williams. In just one year you cannot move from hell to heaven...
Even Michael had said F310 was a bad car. And surely Ferrari was much more concentrated on Schumy's car than Eddie's one. All those mechanical failures weren't certainly Irvine's fault
This is why for me he is better than Ham. He had that Alonso magic to outdrive a car and compete no matter how tricky it was. Ham is great but needs the car under him more, same with Vettel
@@ultrascreens5206 cannot agree with that, MSC always needed a good car (not the best, but at least a good one) to be fast, except some single seasons (92, 96, 2012). But what sets him quite apart from the rest is the fact that he was able to make a car fast if it wasn't so far. ALO might be one of the fasters drivers generally, but maybe even the best to deal with slow cars and bad teams.
@@ultrascreens5206 Hamilton has never needed to do that because he's been fortunate enough to have a top car (or near-top, as in 2008 and 2017-18) in every season he's driven in. There's nothing to suggest he couldn't do the same as Alonso. Vettel I absolutely agree with, though.

1996 and 1997 are my fav two schumacher seasons. Driving that car to its absolute limits and challenging the best. No other driver in history could have pulled the results he did, maybe senna.
@@JR28. Not sure, possibly but the handling on that car was a nightmare, I don't think Alonso would have slid around the track the way MS did, literally risking a crash every turn so you could push 110%
I was at the grand Prix in Imola that year. Me, my father and my uncle were at Rivazza. When Schumi did the fast lap on Saturday all the fans went crazy. The atmosphere was super, i was 13 and everything seemed so fun to me. All these Germans in the park cheering wearing a red cap. The next day Schumi didn't win, but i became a big fan of him for the rest of his career.
It's basically very simple. A better driver can drive a car at the utter edge for a longer period of time. Average drivers can do it sometimes at parts of a lap, but Schumacher could do it for multiple following laps during qualifying and races.
He was always on a knife's edge every lap, that was his driving technique , just a little over that limit & straight off you go. Irvine couldn't believe how Micheal was able to do that lap after lap.
Majestic. Schumacher did some of his best driving in that lacklustre Ferrari in 1996. Either lap would have been good enough pole and 0.5 seconds quicker than Hill!
I have to admit that, those days, as Alesi fan, I suffered a lot. Michael Schumacher was just of another league... and his commitment was at its peak pecause he wanted to show the world that, even with an inferior car, a champion could make the difference, just like Senna did few years before (92/93).
I was also a huge Berger / Alesi fan and was devastated when Ferrari signed MSC. I even told my friends that Berger and Alesi will now with the championship and it was the car not the driver..! How wrong I was. My whole opinion of Schumacher changed at Imola 1996 - I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then Barcelona..! Since then he's my favourite driver ever, though I shall forever hold a soft spot for Mr. Jean Alesi too - if only the V12 didn't keep blowing up in 94 and 95!
Twice repeating 1:20.3 with a chance to get a couple of tenths of a second off, impressive. Watching Schumacher do this lap at the limit, totally at the limit is thrilling.
It's why I only sim race F1 Racing Simulation from ubisoft as it replicates the 1996 season. Trying to beat Schumis qualifying time without touching any barriers is a whole lot of fun.
I don't agree with that, cars nowadays are much more compicated and require more than skill to drive it, I don't really like that tho, I like the old cars, they were much more simple and the driver only focused on driving as quickly as possible

Mat EVO7, have u watched clips from GRAN TURISMO 7 UNSEEN? It is in both Purwanti Allan and Damar Fadlan channels. One clip featured a special drama from Nijigasaki.
Are you talking about his 92 and 93 McLarens? The mp-4/8 probably would've won him a 4th title if it weren't for the scramble to find a new engine & the mp-4/7A was pretty solid at medium to high downforce, monaco suited that car pretty well given how you have to drive the circuit.

Never understand how anybody can compare Schumi to Hamilton who was sitting in the most dominant car for almost his entire career with more races per season. Hamilton is more successfull but not any close to Schumacher’s skill, performances and legacy. Not to talk about ressurecting Ferrari to the winning team and also Mercedes together with Brawn. Hamilton jumped to bandwagon of success and took a free ride.
Mai visto Totd sorridere così ! Ma davanti ad uno spettacolo del genere lo capisco... Schumi che da mezzo secondo ad Hill che guidava un missile non si vedeva tutti i giorni ! Grande Schumi ❤ grazie ci hai fatto sognare !!!
Monaco this year just confirmed what a whiner Lewis is. Blamed the team for his poor drive and p7 but when hes winning they are the best team in the world. I dont think I will ever like Lewis...
well what can i say…i can’t add much as your spot on comments nailed it!! 96 was one of my favvs, as i was a Hill/ williams fan to begin with..then this young but already a champion came into the sport to what had finally become the best team after such a bitter disappointment off the back of 1995. Jacques not only popped into pole in melbourne but then really challenged damon in the race..and then damon reeled off a stash of brilliant wins ..and then won the WDC in style…but michael and ferrari…yeah and it showed how he was just so above rest he was..and throughout his career..i think 1996 is where he really stratospheric..and we only need to see these clips to describe it all..amazing!! and i loved john watsons commentary..him and brundle together too!!
The more i look at that car...the nore i appreciate how beautiful it is, & what a genius at the wheel too...those cars where the best, smaller, lighter, sweet sound, great liveries...
Back in the day, I thought the F310 was ugly. But over time, I've learnt to appreciate the car. Especially when you consider the cars that emerged from 2010 onwards. Especially the first cars of the turbo era from 2014 onwards. The 310 is also the start of something big. The first 3 of 72 victories for Michael in red.
I'd like to stress a point. Schumacher took a car that was almost useless and put it where it had no right to be. With respect to the driver's of the day they have all proved that they can not do the same.
Just watch Shuey's quali for Argentina the same year or Spa in '97, Monza '05... Just some of the examples that show how it's the driver that makes all the difference to a shitty car... Absolute commitment.
We will never ever see the likes of a Senna or schumi again, I couldn't imagine a Hamilton or Verstappen going to a mid grid team and driving the nuts of it, he did the same in Monza that year too
For me, this is why Michael will never be unseated as the true GOAT of the sport. Yes others may have technically achieved more on paper such as Hamilton and Max Verstappen, but that's by virtue of a variety of other factors outside of the driver. They'll never be able to do what Michael did and was capable of doing and one of them even directly benefited and built his legacy upon the work Michael had already done (building Mercedes F1).
Just imagine, how many more championships Michael would have won, if he wouldn’t have decided for a difficult challenge of the Ferrari adventure, but if he would have gone to the best teams one after another ….
Di questa qualifica passa sempre sottotono il fatto che il giro dopo fece un tempo quasi fotocopia del primo dove si vede benissimo che non ha divorato le curve come nel giro precedente probabilmente perché alla fine di due giri le gomme avevano leggermente perso aderenza, mostruoso

Just watch Shuey's quali for Argentina the same year or Spa in '97, Monza '05... Just some of the examples that show how it's the driver that makes all the difference to a shitty car... Absolute commitment.
Even though the 2001 car was a great car, but his Japan pole that year was just brilliant
Most beautiful F1 ferrari ever!!!!!
Certainly distinctive, but I wouldn't say most beautiful! :-D
Only Michael 👑
#KeepFightingMichael❤
Mike era magico
What a beautiful car ♡
Ferrari will never be the same... all together😥 like a real team, great years
in 1996 irvine said about schumacher's pole:
he can maid it also with team's ferrari motor home
Legend there isn’ t other word.. just LEGEND
Its too bad it rained on race day he was way ahead of everyone else
We will never ever see the likes of a Senna or schumi again, I couldn't imagine a Hamilton or Verstappen going to a mid grid team and driving the nuts of it, he did the same in Monza that year too
thanks for this, brings back memories
For me, this is why Michael will never be unseated as the true GOAT of the sport. Yes others may have technically achieved more on paper such as Hamilton and Max Verstappen, but that's by virtue of a variety of other factors outside of the driver. They'll never be able to do what Michael did and was capable of doing and one of them even directly benefited and built his legacy upon the work Michael had already done (building Mercedes F1).
Just imagine, how many more championships Michael would have won, if he wouldn’t have decided for a difficult challenge of the Ferrari adventure, but if he would have gone to the best teams one after another ….
Best quali for Schumi ever
No.. Sepang 99 best
Argentina 1996 was completely outrageous. Watch that one. second place, but the car was even worse there.
Das sind die Unterschiede von guten Fahrern und echten Champs!!
Di questa qualifica passa sempre sottotono il fatto che il giro dopo fece un tempo quasi fotocopia del primo dove si vede benissimo che non ha divorato le curve come nel giro precedente probabilmente perché alla fine di due giri le gomme avevano leggermente perso aderenza, mostruoso
True.
Goosebumps!!!!!
the man went from +0.200 to -0.500 in the final third of the track.
This video is AWESOME! Thanks for posting!
Brilliant!!!! Thx for sharing
When "Dream Team" was born...

The G.O.A.T making up half a second in the last segment in a POS Ferrari.
JT:If were lucky we can get 3rd maybe 2nd
Schumacher:Hold my beer
Schumacher is god of racing.
Tarihin en iyi turlarından biri...
This is how you do it.
1:05 is that Ben Edwards commentating? I thought he sounded familiar, his channel 4 commentating was brilliant and I even preferred him to Crofty.
Yes, it was Ben Edwards. Great commentator.
Happy Birthday Michael!
The Sound was Great😄🇩🇪
Der Beste aller Zeiten.
Schumacher forever 💪❤️🙏
Astonishing, he gained 7 thents in the last sector
Mostruoso!!!!! Legend!
He`s a King.
And now Ladies and gentlemen- Schumi to good for F1 so let's change rules for Merc hybrid farce and Shamilton kindergarten

Verstappen 2023 Monaco reminds me of this
