Most memorable moment is in 2000 when Schumacher breaks down during the post race interview where he tied the same number of wins that Ayrton Senna. It had to be so heartbreaking for him because he was the car behind Senna when he crashed 😢
Many people picked the same moment! Legendary and heartbreaking for sure
italian gp 2000
Fake moment from Schumacher...Not the only one in his career...A theatrical pilot....
@@1983dmd thats what I was thinking as i watched it. Clearly Senna's death paved the way to at least half of the 7 world titles
@@1983dmd yes 100% that was so fake. I think it was Imola. (I still hope he recovers, but i think that will never happen)
I’m a big Michael Schumacher fan. Supporting Schumi over the years has given me many, many proud moments and great memories. Far too many to list.
To be honest, I feel proud just walking down the street with a Schumi cap on or wearing a Schumi tee!
But definitely my proudest memory is from Silverstone 2012. It was my final chance to see my hero race in person, and what an awesome weekend it was. Just waking around the circuit over the 3 days, wearing a Schumi top, I was so proud. Interestingly, there were so many other fans there supporting Schumi, wearing Schumacher caps that weekend. He was also the only driver to have his own merchandise stand in the fan zone.
I had a large custom red banner made for my trip to the Grand Prix. It simply said: ‘Michael SCHUMACHER’ in large white lettering and listed the years of his title wins below.
On the Saturday I hung the banner along the pit straight and watch Michael drive absolutely sublimely in the wet conditions, he qualify P3.
Then on the Sunday, I was sat at Stowe. (Always had this weird thing, the lowest point in Michael’s career was his leg-breaking accident at Stowe corner and since then, the 3 times I’ve attended Silverstone, I’ve always sat at Stowe, virtually behind where he hit the tyres that day, with a Schumi banner on front of the grandstand, it’s weird it’s as if I’m trying to show Michael support in what was a previously dark location for him. Reclaiming it as a positive location for Team Schumacher!)
But I sat at Stowe for the 2012 British GP race and put my banner on the front of the grandstand. Amazingly, Michael seen the banner on the drivers parade and waved! A brilliantly proud and emotional moment for me personally. He then had a decent race too, given the car he was driving.
For the 2011 British GP, I had banner made that I took and displayed at Silverstone. It said:
Adelaide 94. Jerez 97. Austria 02.
Indy 02. Monaco 06. Hungary 10.
Actions the world hated but made me proud.
My hero never surrenders. He fights to the very end.
Schumi 4 Ever.
What great stories and memories, you’re a true fan !
I'm crying now
SCHUMI is the GOAT
Oh man.... this made my eyes wet. Beautiful! Thank you.
Suzuka 2000 I cried like a baby when Michael clinched his first title for Ferrari. The UK commentary for that race was epic!
Also France 2004 when Michael won the race after figuring out that a 4 stop strategy was the quickest way to the end.
His whole 1995 season. There's so many more moments 🙂
Great choices
Lol 😆
I will also add Brazil 2006! Recovery drive from the back, even though chances were slim for the title. Still immense pace in last race for the res team. And Massa victory for consolation, stealing a bit from Alonso joy ;)
My most memorable Michael Schumacher moment, and one of the saddest days of my life as a sports fan, was Spa 1998. Was 11 and I cried my eyes out when Michael crashed from the lead into David Coulthard.
David C. lifted his foot from the throttle as Michael was approaching, in the heavy rain, and years later he admitted he did that on porpoise.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Me and my friend got so upset that we went outside and played football. We imagined kicking Coulthard´s face when kicking the ball
@@Goxilla I punched a wooden door. I did not break my hand, but it hurt for the next few days.
@@ShinKen1975 Yes! I agree with you, Gianluca. Quel cornuto di David Coulthard l'ha fatto apposta.
@@ShinKen1975 When did DC admit it? Telemetry and FIA report said no deceleration or braking showed.
i'm always glad to see such cars in the hands of people that share it in one or another way. even bringing it out to tracks so normal people like me can see/hear it while people like you also get to feel it. doesn't have to be all the time or every year. for example (i'm not sure) there's no footage of this car in 4K while driving. etc
Thank you David. My favorite Schumacher moment was 1995 in Canada. Michael was the reigning world champion in his way to being champion for a second to time.
We were sitting inside the hairpin and Alesi took his only F1 victory, brought his Ferrari to a stop in the hairpin and the crowd went crazy. Schumacher came along and picked up Alesi for a ride back to the podium. What a great moment. It showed how much Schumacher appreciated the sport.
Great addition; congratulations!
My favourite Schumacher moment was when he broke down crying when he surpassed Ayrton Senna in the number of wins (or if it was pole positions).
Great choice. Legendary moment
My best memory of Schumacher was definitely his first victory at Monza circuit with Ferrari in 1996 ... I was starting to follow the F1' races at that time and that day I shed my first tears of joy as a Ferrari supporter 🔝🏎❤️Jean Todt and Schumi the best of the best!!
The F2002 and F2004 are the best F1 cars ever made! At Ferrari Race Days using modern slick tires, they are faster than current F1s in some tracks!
Mclaren MP4/4 is the best F1 car ever made though lol
@@OggaDugga yeah that is a V6 turbo car. This is a naturally aspirated engine with superior aerodynamics.
I am a massive Michael Schumacher fan. Growing up I always watched him race. There were several favorite moments but I remember 2000 United States Grand Prix which he won and put him in the lead for the championship.
One of those great memories I have about Schumi (I am a big big fan of his) is San Marino GP in 2003. He won the race after his mom has just passed away few hours earlier. It shows the dedication and professionalism of Schumi on what he meant and brought to the whole team.
Thank for for sharing your story and knowing Jean Todd actually visited you and standing next to the car gave me goosebumps.
For me, my Favourite moment was every time he was on the top of the podium. It’s celebrations and how he always involved the team. Never forget him and miss him deeply on the F1 scene.
Most memorable Schumacher moment was a soaking wet Spanish grand prix in 1996 at Catalunya!
He drove and won an impeccable race in a car that was far from the best car on the grid, the lines he took and the way he nursed the car to victory, he was lapping 3sec faster than anyone else that day. Truely one of the greatest drives by the greatest F1 driver!
I still have the headlines from the sports pages the following day, it reads:
"Raining champion"
#keepfightingmichael
In my opinion, exactly that F1 model, is one of the most beautiful and iconic F1 ferrari in history. So balanced and aggressive style, it's a pleasure to look at! I am genuinely jealous David.
I've seen and photographed this car several times as the previous owner used to regularly bring it to car shows for display. It was my first time seeing an F1 car in person and I really appreciated the owner's effort to make it viewable so F1 fans could have a chance to see an F1 car and a very special one at that.
Favourite Schumacher moment: Barcelona 1996. Rain. 5 seconds faster than anyone else in the race. Winning on a V8 Ferrari F310, because two cylinders just died... And he was still faster. EPIC!
Favourite Michael Schumacher moment was right after crossing the finish line at Suzuka, in 2000. When hey starts hitting the steering wheel in full euphoria! Pure joy for the Tiffosi all around the world!
Imo the most beautiful F1 car ever.
My most memorable Schumi moment is after a race with this car. After Rubens got ordered to let him pass right before the finish line in Spielberg 2002.
On the podium Michaels face told everything and he pulled Rubens to the top, where he belonged. I still remember that moment when i saw it as a kid on TV, watching together with my late dad. It did show the humble side of Michael as he stood there in shame, even tho it wasnt his fault. That was something else for me back then when i did see one of my greatest childhood heroes like that.
As for Rubens, i just love this guy. Champion of hearts!
Even though I watched most of his races right back to the Benetton days, I literally jumped out of my seat when he got pole for Mercedes in Monaco 2012. The Red Baron still had the gift. Sadly as we all know he had a grid penalty because they changed the gearbox (I think). But it was an amazing moment.
This is not a real one, David. This is just an exhibition car you can buy for $150k but this has never been on track, ever. We got the same one at Speed Vegas btw.
Spain 1996, Michael's first F1 win for Ferrari was my favorite. The previous five seasons, Ferrari had only won one Grand Prix so it was such a thrill to watch that race on TV as it happened and was a bit shocked to see him win in a car that wasn't anywhere near as good as the Williams that year
Jerez 1997
The thing i remember most was when Michael set a record-qual time and every one tried to beat it, for laps and laps only one manage to finaly beat it, then Michael got out for one last lap before the qualtime was over and beat the time instant.
2006, Brazil. I know that after the puncture they turned that car up to 11, but his pace and pristine performance to race through the pack for his last race with Ferrari was nothing short of God Mode. No, he didn't win the race, and so narrowly missed out on the championship, but he cemented his gift to motorsport as the GOAT with an exclamation mark, that day, for me. That performance was IMPECCABLE. God Mode. The pit lane knew, the drivers knew, and motorsport fans knew. We'll not see his like again. The gladiators are gone.
That was a race of a Master. I remember being in the same straight line with Massa the leader after the puncture so almost a lap down. And then without the help of a safety car went like a god to overtake even Fisichella who gave him the puncture. What a moment, what a legend...
My favorite Schumacher moment is when he won his first Championship. His voice and comments over the radio, Get me every time.
There are many MS moments, but for me the San Marino GP won by Michael they day after his mom passed away was a True example of his committment to the sport and the team, and obviously to the honor of his mother. I remember him being in the podium with a sad face, trying to contain all his emotions. Truely the GOAT of F1.
My favourite Schumacher moment is probably his final ever podium when at Mercedes. Here's a man who had won it all - the undisputed greatest F1 driver of the time and the leader of every stat imaginable being absolutely delighted to get a third place. Shows how much it all meant to him.
My favorite as well. I firmly believe that having him and his influence at Merc set them up for the dominant run that they had from 2014-2020.
If had stayed on at Mercedes he would have some more wins. Crazy a car/team he helped develop moved on to make Hamilton a 7 time champ.
Same thing which happened at Ferrari when he helped develop.
I remember the Quali in Japan in 2000 where him and Mika battled each other for pole position. Amazing to watch.
F2002 was for me the most beautiful car however.
Anyway, I am working in Motorsports and I had a nice chat once with one of Michael's former mechanics. I asked him if it was true how Michael motivated the team to work hard and he confirmed. He was there also late with the mechanics bleeding the brakes etc.. That was amazing to hear that and also to he able to chat to one of his former mechanics with an espresso in Italy.
Same year I met Rubens in Spa where his son was racing in Spanish F4. Rubens is such a nice guy. Completely down to earth.
I was once at the Nurburgring in a FP session for F1 as a kid. I will never forget Micheal did only one lap as they had a problem with the car. I still remember his car, the red helmet. It was like slow motion when he passed. Later, he apologized to the fans that he couldn't run more for the fans to see him. Seems like he really cared for many things. Sad what happened to him but he inspired me to work in this field
FAVORITE moment is EVERY moment, long live the V10. THAT SOUND!!!!
First time that I came across your channel and this car... It was part of my childhood :)
I watched F1 in the early 2000s with dad to this day... Thank you for showing us this piece of racing history!
WOW!! Your a lucky man. This is one of the most beautiful era of F1 cars. Congrats and hope you will drive it on a track. Cheers from Canada 🍁
What a legendary car. One of the most dominant F1 cars ever since Schumacher stepped on the podium on every single race in 2002 thanks to that car.
😍
I think my favorite memory of Schumacher goes back to seeing F1 in person for the first time in Montreal. He was driving for Benneton at the time and just to see him get the most out of the car and raise the team up to be at a top level. He was so good at gathering the team around him and bringing them to a higher level.
I saw this car 3 times in 2002, Silverstone, Spa and most importantly Magny-Cours when Michael equalled Fangio.
For me this car is right up there with the McLaren MP4/4 as the most dominant, complete machine of all time.
Hope you can bring this to Silverstone one day for Ferrari clienti, would love to hear that v10 again!
I have a watch he was given after becoming the 5 time champion!!! It is the closest thing I will ever have that has that beautiful horse on it and touched by the man by himself. Humbled I am.
Wow. This is amazing David. You should be a very proud man.
Congratulations.
Michael was my sporting hero growing up. My main memory of Michael was him coming back to race from a broken leg in 1999, he was out of the running for the championship and he assisted his teammate Irvine at the time to try win the driver’s championship. They very nearly succeeded. Had they succeeded, Irvine and not Michael would have achieved the massive feat of winning it for the first time in 20 years for Ferrari. That level of unselfishness in an otherwise self-centred sport was truly amazing. That moment showed me everything there is to know about the true Michael Schumacher. He was much more than just a talented driver. He is one of F1’s biggest ever personalities.
Many great memories from the Legend! So many times he managed the unthinkable and won when almost none believed he could do it.
Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful car in your Ferrari collection.
My favourite moment is meeting Michael after he won the 2004 Silverstone GP. I was very lucky and met him in the paddock. He gave me a drivers cap and signed it for me. I still have it. My most treasured possession.
So cool you put this stuff on CZcams for anyone to see, most collectors only show the cars privately
I have been waiting a long time for this video to come out about how you acquired Michael Schumacher's 2002 F1 car in your collection. Thank you for finally making a video about it.
That’s one if not the best. F1 car ever made. David you need to join the program to experience that V10 legend
Most definitely Suzuka 2000 when Michael finally won his 3rd championship and first for Ferrari. I had been supporting him since 1994, after the passing of Senna, so it was a bit of a wait but all the better for it. Shame they don't let you keep the engine, I wouldn't be too happy about that personally but if it means they are maintaining and potentially running it intermittently then it makes sense. First time I have come across you and your channel. Looks like you have an amazing collection👍🏻
Got goose bumps seeing you, Mr Todd with Michaels car.... I vividly remember Michael grabbing the WC02, great video!
This is the best CZcams video about car collection I had ever seen. So memorable Schumacher F1 car
Favorite Schumacher moment has to be winning championship at Suzuka in 2000.
And what a car you have there. F2004 and F2002 are my favorite Ferrari of all time. Iconic!
I wish I could visit and see your collection. Thanks for sharing
Being Italian one of the best memories I have is seeing Michael during celebrations on the podium after a win, just changing his mood from somewhat serious to a playfull and smily one when the Italian Anthem kicked in after the German one :') One of the best Italy-Germany pairings ever.
My favorite moment was after the races. My girlfriend worked at a pub where most of the F1 fans supported (insert whichever British team was winning). I have always supported Ferrari so I loved walking in whistling the Italian then German anthems. Still makes me smile.
Good Day Mr.Lee.
My favourite moment was when Michael was ask to do I think 10 qualifying lap during the race to get in and out of pit stop before his rivals.
This is my favorite video ever, this man has achieved my major dream from childhood. As a former car racer national champion, all my admiration and respect to you Mr. Lee, and thank you for showing the people all this details of your collection and teaching us about it.
Favorite Michael moment was not a Ferrari one, I was lucky enough to be in Montreal in 1995 and see Jean Alessi win for Ferrari, run out of fuel and Michael gave him a ride back to pits. So I got to see him and that for me was very special, but another moment was when he passed Senna for wins and at press conference he broke down and cried, that showed enormous RESPECT for Senna as his Hero. Nice Collection Mr. Lee.
most memorable Michael Schumacher moment has to be spa 1995 when he drove on slicks in the rain to take the lead from 16th place from the then better Williams car. Spain 1994 was unbelievable almost nobody could believe he was still stuck in 5th gear because at times he was faster then Hill in the lead. Suzuka 2000 was grandiose, aida 1995 where he outsmarted the better Williams drivers to become world champion, Spa 2002 when he was out of this world driving so fast in this car... and so many other good moments we had as a Schumacher fan... Thanks for sharing this ultimate Schumacher car with us!
Most favorite moment was suzuka 2000, where he beat Mika fair and sqaure despite not having the best car. The greatest ever !
Man I could have watched an hour long version of this video with more discussion on the back story of getting this and that client program with track events and training etc....
Great stuff and thanks for sharing.
Watching him in 1994 at Silverstone in his Benetton Ford on the old abbey chicane, I sat with my father with the F1 cars coming towards us, braking hard and then flicking the car into the corner, each driver would move over as far as they could to the right of the corner, before flicking the car into the bend to reduce the steering angle and carry more speed, most drivers having all of the right front wheel on the white line, however Mika Hakkinen would go past the white line before then steering his McLaren into the bend, but Schumacher’s car went even further past the white line, flicking the grass lap after lap before turning in. That’s how I knew he was a different breed, a special driver, finding the smallest gains to give him the extra over other drivers.
One of Schumacher's most memorable moments was undoubtedly Budapest 98. Ross Brawn opting to run a three-stop strategy at the 1998 Hungarian Grand Prix in a bid to defeat McLaren was clever, bold… and utterly sadistic. Basically, in the muggy Hungarian heat, Brawn was asking his driver to bash out qualifying laps for an hour and 45 minutes to make the strategy viable. Fortunately for Brawn, his driver was Michael Schumacher, with Ferrari’s technical director able to call on all of the German’s exceptional speed and stamina to help topple their rivals. Schumacher executed the strategy to a tee to take one of his most emotional victories, and help bring himself back into title contention - for that moment, at least - with Mika Hakkinen.
That intro with Schumacher in Monaco… I couldn’t believe it was Monaco at first since the car didn’t fill up half the track; they weren’t as wide as today’s F1 cars
1. I used to love this car as a kid, I have strong emotions connected to it. An Rc F2004 was one of my early Christmas presents and it holds some heavy and dear emotions. Growing up, Michael Schumacher was the hero and as a kid, other than jeremy clarkson or batman with living parents, Michael Schumacher was who I wanted to be. But i’m currently heading in the other 2 directions lol
2. When tf was Jean todt married to michelle yeoh? had to do a double take. That’s actually crazy
3. Really like that David Lee refers to himself as a custodian, it’s very humble and shows an appreciation for the car itself, and a very worthy custodian he is.
4. Sound of that car lives in my head rent free
For me it was Spa 2004. I was old enough to remember every moment of it and enjoy the moments that I was living
My schumacher moment was in suzuka 2000 crying tears of joy for his first championship with Ferrari,through all the year to all the sad tears in Interlagos 2006 with the most incredible performance that any driver has ever made in the most saddest day. He is my hero!
Much is said that Schumi was not a team player; but in Sepang 1999 he proved otherwise. Returning after breaking his leg in the British GP; he qualified in pole. Fellow Ferrari driver, Irvine, who was battling Hakkinen for the WDC, qualified second. Irvine also had the potential to be the first Ferrari F1 champion in 20 years. Schumi dominated the field in qualifying and could have won the race. After leading a few laps, Schumi slowed down and let Irvine through. He then held Hakkinen back for the rest of the race. Irvine left Sepang ahead in the WDC. I am glad that I was there to watch it in person.
Had the pleasure of attending Melbourne 2002 as a guest of Phillip Morris, touring garage/pit and meeting both Michael and Rubens in the suite.
Real cool, I saw his F2001 car in NYC right before it hit the auction house. Real special stuff.
My most memorable Michael Schumacher moment was when I ate fries next to him as a kid, as he was visiting the karting track where he got into racing.
for me Jean Todt brings back memories of the Kenyan rally in 1977 with Peugeot 504 coupe V6 incredible individual
One of the best videos!!! I watched this over and over again.
Most memorable moment about Michael Schumacher was watching him in the 2012 season when I was only 8 years old, with his pole lap in Monaco but didn’t have pole in the race and his podium in Valencia and I won $2 from my grandfather who passed away 7 years ago and said if you guess who wins you get $1 and I said Alonso and I asked him can I guess who gets on to the podium and I said Schumacher and I won $2 from and for an 8 year old child that felt like winning on high stakes roulette. And of course his final race in Brazil I cared more about his last race then the championship fight with. Alonso vs Vettel, and he helped Seb win the title and he’s my favourite driver ever and 2nd Alonso. I born 2003 and never got to really witness Michael’s dominance but I like to go back and watch it and I loved the Netflix series about him.
Had the privilege of being at Spa 2002. Walking the infield with extra large Ferrari flag as a 13 year old with my parents as huge Schumi fan. Awesome memories of that day
Favorite moment was the victory in 1999 Sepang. I think he had just came back from the Silverstone crash and just dominated! Super inspirational to me. At that point, I knew, he was going to begin his come back and set the stage for many more championships.
I enjoyed all of his on-track rivalries from '96 up to '02 (Villeneuve, Damon, Mika...) I remember waking up very early on Sundays to watch the races... I never liked him, but you gotta give it to him... One of THE BEST. Man those were the days...!
My most memorable Schumacher moment was when Michael had his skiing accident in 2013. I was in shock. And I still am. Michael is the best F1 driver for me. Better than Senna, certainly better than Hamilton, better than all the others. I can't believe that he was driving in such a dangerous motorsports class, successfully for over a decade and then he gets knocked out by a simple rock. It hurts to think about it. I hope, we will see him again, one day in the future. But it's almost been 10 years, man. It really hurts me.
Michael Schumacher waving to me and a friend as we sat watching the mechanics pack up their garage at the end of the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix. Flew past in a helicopter, we're the only Ferrari fans still in the grandstand as everybody had left, and his face in the window waving out is unmistakeable.
I remember him battling Mika and Alonso but one of the races that stands out to me is the one where him and his brother ralf started 1st and 2nd,i think it was Imola.Their mother had unfortunately passed away and they had made trips in between to visit her and I'm sure she was as proud as can be looking down on them as they stood 1st and 2nd on the podium after the race.The amount of courage it took to get in that car after your mother just passed is incomprehensible.If both abstained from the race,nobody would fault them,but they raced
I am in awe.. so, so badass man. Wow.. thank-you for sharing! I had no idea how all the behind the scenes worked in regards to the extra units.
Absolutely incredible to get up and have that in your garage, nicely done brother.. have a great week!🙌🤘🙌
In the 2000s my friends and I had fierce F1 rivalry. I was Team McLaren, with Hakkinen and Coulthard and the boys were Team Ferrari with Shumi and Barichello. Everybody still respected and liked Shumi, irregardless of what team they supported.
My favorite MS moments was when I worked for him at his Managers office (Willi Weber) in Stuttgart, Germany. It was an amazing time....
My most memorable Schumacher Ferrari moment aside from clinching the 2000 title was actually being at the 1998 French Grand Prix and witnessing a Ferrari 1-2 for Schumacher And Irvine an amazing day I will never forget.
France 2002, in that very car (well, the main version of it). Michael wrapping up the championship already in July, one of my all time top Schumacher memories. Great stuff with your collection David, and with Jean visiting etc. Love it!
His first win in an underdog Benetton against powerhouse Williams. I'd been a fan of F1 for years, watching him move towards the front of the pack in a 2nd tier car for the past year. "He's done it!" was my first thought. Not too surprised when Ferrari gobbled him up a few years later, as he was now dominant with Senna gone.
It's a tie between Spain 1996 and Imola 2005. Both were years when Michael wasn't dominating but was still able to show that he was actually the best driver out there.
Naturally aspirated 3L v10 19,000 RPM.. 865hp @ 1200lbs. Can we please bring these back?
Good luck driving that around a track, David! As envious as I am, that's gotta be terrifying.
They keep the engine.
You got it because you've got enough cash to buy lots of Ferrari's. More power to you, as they say in Ireland.
My favorite story about Michael Schumacher is an anecdote a friend of my mom’s told us. She comes from close to Michael’s hometown of Kerpen and worked in marketing for a local firm that sponsored him in the mid to late 90s, which must have been around the time he went to Ferrari. They were shooting a commercial with him somewhere in southern Europe (it was really hot at the time) and for the time there, his management had asked the company to organize a training partner for him. They actually managed to get the national triathlon champion from there. Before the shoot they went to work out early in the morning and when they arrived back on set, the film crew saw the champion guy was completely worn out and in no condition to do anything. And if Michael was the same, they could just pack up and leave because they wouldn’t be holding schedule and it was too expensive.
However, Michael casually strolled on set, just took a shower and went through with the shoot with no signs of exhaustion what so ever, as if he had just gotten out of bed. Goes to show how fit he always was, which I guess also enabled him to go on and win another 5 championships.
You are doing an absolute great job in guarding these beautiful iconic cars, THANK YOU !
My most memorable Schumacher moment was the end of the 2002 American grand prix when him and Tunis Berachelo finished side my side
Hungary Budapest 1998 1 of the best races in f1 ever. It was Michael Schumachers sheer determination on display..these are races that He shouldnt have won in paper or in reality but he did and its the kind that leaves an impression on your memory that this guy is from another planet and a cut above the rest.. Ross brawn: you need to make up 25 seconds. Michael :ok thank you very much and the rest is history
My favourite moment when he won his 7th championship at Suzuka in 2004. I watched it live and was the best feeling!!
Favourite moments, putting it on pole in the Merc and holding Lewis up.
Top moment though, his last race for Ferrari, masterclass in driving.
My most memorable Michael Schumacher moment was Adelaide 1994 when he just needed to finish his benneton ahead of hill to win the championship. He went off on the last few laps. Rejoined and realised damon hill was overtaking him so shunted into the side of his car and pushed him out of the race. Hill continued the last few laps of the race. Schumacher was out. But luckily for Schumacher, hills suspension was ruined and he had to retire
That sound going through the tunnel is what got my father and I hooked on f1.
There is allot but One of the great wins that created his path to greatness was the win in 1996 with Ferarri in Spain. With a car that was old and unreliable he coasted that car to victory in the rain. Things like that that proofed his brilliance. He was brilliant in keeping it together in a car that was not up to par. Almost winning in 97 in a car that was not as good as the Williams. He was the best all round F1 driver. 95 he proofed he is the best driver. In difficult conditions he kept the car going while others left the track.
Thanks for the insight into the ownership of these, and the F1 Clienti programme. Always wanted to hear a V10 F1 car from the 2000s.
His Pole in Monaco in the Merc. We finally saw his old brilliance that day!
best moment with the MAN, was when i was a young guy visiting some family in Trysil (Norway) and seein my Idol at the time playing football with old locals at a local football field. just as a normal guy. seeing the joy of just beeing a guy with no media around and just having fun. the sad thing was that my dad informed me AFTER we left that that was the driving god from that red ferrari......
Sure, I'm an F1 lunatic... but when i saw that yellow line up across the room when the cam pans out at 1:03... Lost my shit right there...!
My favourite moment was Spa 2000... It still give me chills to see this overtake manouver. Anyway, I think as costly as it is, it is quite nice from them to offer the cars to collectors and let them drive / race in out. Altough beeing a nightmare to maintenance, thes cars are made for racing. I think this is a pretty unique approach as far as I know, no other F1 team does it!? Maybe apart from Alpine / Renault / Lotus who had a service where you can "book" an F1 weekend and the let you race everything the had up to F1.
I am a huge F1 ferrari fan. I saw MS race everytime at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and it was magical everytime!
I live here in Cologne and have seen Michael's private collection for free!! All his cars beginning from his Junior kart, Formula Ford, Formula 3, Sauber C and then Formula 1 goes from Jordan 1991to the last Mercedes 2012. Even all his other items as helmets, gloves, jumpsuits trophies etc. can be seen!
This car should actually be in a museum...
So mr. Lee, maybe it is time you start a museum. Like mr. Louwman also did...
All of 2004. It was unreal to see him dominate a season like that, absolutely beautiful and I still have chills thinking of all those races. Shame Monaco happened! haha
Crashing into courtyard in the wet and losing a front wheel. He looked as though he could have finished the race on three wheels if he’d been allowed. What a driver, the best ever F1 champion by far.
