Michael Schumacher: The Making of a Legend (Exclusive F1TV Video) 

He is fine

Waking up

Angad Grewal he’s not fine. He’s still struggling

Same here. Every other Sunday, I would turn on the TV knowing I was going to see Michael win. I feel lucky to have seen his genius unfolding year after year.

Same

If Senna had lived and stuck with Williams he would have been utterly dominant. Damon Hill and Jacques couldn't hold a candle to Senna and those cars made them look like world beaters.

@@RAZGR1Z I am German and was laughed at by Schumi fans, back when I told them, that there is a possibility that Michael never had won a championship, without Ayrton Senna dying on day after Roland Ratzenberger... 94 Senna 95 Senna 96 Senna 97 Senna So by 97 Schumi would have 0 titles. Do you think Ferarri has had signed him, without a single title? I dont think so... But then there would be the possibility that Schumi signes in 1997 at McLaren, because of his ties to Mercedes... Maybe he would have won the 98 and 99 title of Mika Hakkinen... No matter how, like you said: We were robbed by awesome battle on track... Schumi vs Senna would have been awesome... And if you add Mika and Jaques to the mix and you got 97-00 with an aging Senna, a prime Michael and prime Mika and Jaques... I would have loved it for sure... Senna was my idol... Kinda still is... I was 9 and was karting because of him... I had a bad accident two weeks after his death... I got scared and hung up my helmet for good and switches to my second love: Ice-Hockey... I sitll miss Senna... Still could cry, if I think about it... Seeing somebody die on TV at the age of 9 was really hard for me... And he wasnt anybody to me... He was one of the few men, I looked up to...

@@chrisbee9643Schumacher would have been seen like how Max was seen during Mercedes’ dominance. Obviously extremely talented, and able to galvanize the entire team to support him. Jean Todt would still want to sign him, and Schumacher would still want to bring the important people from Benetton like Ross Brawn with him since Todt was reorganizing Ferrari anyway. I personally do not see the Ferrari juggernaut not happening, even if Senna had lived. You also forget Frank Williams was notoriously cheap with drivers. He pissed of many drivers for refusing to compensate them for being successful. There is no guarantee Senna would have stayed there until 1997, or in F1 at all.

Have to agree

Of course, itv made it...

Yes !

By far the best so far. Especially in comparison to this "The Red Baron" documentary which you can find 100 times on youtube.

Fact, but Lulu fans are going to be severely hurting when they consume this knowledge….. the absolute GOAT can develop a car to win championship’s, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, and lots of others made a difference when they joined a desperate team, Lewis just took the seat at the right time when the real work was already done…. Yes it’s still amazing to win 7 championships, but it’s not impressive when you didn’t really have to do anything and just enjoy the massive advantage

Well, him and Brawn.

He drove for Mercedes for one year and he never won with them. He made Benetton-FORD and FERRARI!

Let Me Correct You He Was And He Will Always Gonna Be THE LEGEND OF FORMULA 1

arrogant aggressive when he should not be, CHEATER disqualified for cheating a 2nd time, that's what i remember of him.

even tho hamilton is very great he will never be remembered as the driver,mind and genius michael was, michael was faster and added much more than just driving to formula 1 he shaped the era we are in right now because of his mind and intelligence he was around constructors and engineers and was discussing upgrades for his own car and was very meticulous about every detail to optimize his chances of winning he had much more knowledge than nowadays drivers (without disrespecting them of course) but he was truly one of a kind and everybody who loves formula one and automobile will always remember him and never forget him. Hopes he gets better as soon as possible at least so that he see again races and everything. God Bless you all and have a nice day everybody.

Thx that’s the point of this whole thing of “who’s the best”

@@SENKKOH "Michael was faster", doubt it. I would argue Hamiltons raw pace is superior. Where Michael excelled was at bringing the team together and providing that chemistry. His knowledge about how the car works also helped but theres nothing he could do now as technology is too extreme for him to be involved in that.

@@comparecars_org tell me you know nothing about f1 without actually telling me.

Michael was also on a different level in wet weather conditions... It was his dominance in the rain which set him and Ayrton apart from every other driver to date... You are entitled to your opinion but opinions aren't necessarily fact... What is a fact is that Michael also won races in cars that were deemed very difficult to drive like the 1996 Ferrari...

I share the same sentiment. He inspired me probably the most too. I think his drive, determination and will to succeed was unparalleled and was something I always wanted to emulate.

Sure, Mr egbogu

@@malcolm824 Sure what? Is that your depth?

Belgium 1991, Belgium 1992, Spain 1995, Spain 1996, Italy 1996, Hungary 1998, Malaysia 1999, Italy 2000, Japan 2000, France 2004, San Marino 2005, Italy 2006, Brazil 2006 and Valencia 2012 are just some of his many, *many* fantastic moments in his career. He, along with Valentino Rossi, truly are some of my idols. While at times highly controversial and in some seasons clearly helped by a car that was simply better than the field, he always kept it real, pushed as far and hard as he could and battled with so many greats - Senna, Mansell, Alesi, Hill, Villeneuve, Häkkinen, Montoya, Räikkönen and Alonso just to name a few. His never-say-die additude pushed him, as well as the Benetton and Ferrari teams, to new levels and beyond what anyone thought was ever possible. Lewie Lewie can win 20 titles and 300 races for all I care, but he will *never* even come close to the greatness that Schumacher showed when he was still racing, not even in his naughtiest dreams.

Pussy

@@jesperbroberg8204 LOL

Did he die?

@@AlexandertheGreat033 He had a serious skiing accident in 2013, where after he's kept away from the spotlight

Nobody forgot Senna

Yeah that's why no one could drive in his car . He build it for himself

Idk if I say that right but yes I knew that ^^

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this scumbag was the greatest cheater in F1 history..

Yes it is

It’s from the F1 Channel-superb

@@user-cw2nl8jr7h Lol cope. We all know Schumacher was the much better driver.

@@user-cw2nl8jr7h That's a long disproven lie. Are you 60 years old and incapable to do research on the internet? Lol, mindlessly repeating old Daily Mail claims immediately disqualifies you from any discussion.

@@user-cw2nl8jr7h Huh, major goal post shift. So Hamilton is a lame driver because technical changes like DRS make overtaking extremely easy while Schumacher had to overtake his opponents without DRS, hence like a proper racer?

@@user-cw2nl8jr7h Lol, you think DRS does not make overtaking easier. Ok now I understand you are just trolling. Noone with even rookie knowledge of F1 would say something so observably wrong. Nice try.

@@user-cw2nl8jr7h Lol cope!

for you

Lewis Hamilton one step ahead 103 big 91 103 big 68

​@@tarkyavuz720More race's today longer season helps with those stats .

Maybe max will... i was always an Senna fan, Schumacher was so good, and if i look to max now, i think the same raw talent, agressive driving style, rain masters, saying where they believe in. Afcourse max is still 25, and proberly will never get 7 chamionchips, but some people are special... Schumacher was for sure, Senna, and i believe max is also such an guy... always on the limit these hero's

@@robertjoostensBro if Alonso can come back and race at a highly competitive level I’d say it depends on the team. If max is all in on redbull or gunning for Ferrari come 2028

@@JamesMac-fd7dx alonso beat Schumacher in his prime, afcourse Alonso is super good. I think max is better then hamilton and alonso. I hope alonso wins an few races, he deserve it. Max is 13 years younger then Lewis, and 17 years younger then alonso... these guys are so experience, but max at 25 has also 170 gp behind his name. That's sick

@@robertjoostensAlonso won because of a massive tyre advantage. I saw the season, Michael still put up a fight against barely legal tyres.

@@speedgoat7496 also schumacher was past his prime, 2005 and 2006 were his last years before retiring from f1

I'm not sure if you're just joking around but there's actually one coming out even still this year. Just to make you aware of it if you really didn't already know it. It's even highly influenced by the family and friends and they promised to give an update about his health condition in it as well.

great post. Agree 110%. Even my grandmother could be world champion with hamilton's car (and she's 96 y.o !!)

龍門陣 Mercedes only had 1 win between 2010 and 2012 your point is absolutely invalid

@@dancastell5202 your point is invalid as Micheal worked on that mercedes with ross brawn to get the car to where it was. Commin knowledge

​@@wingzero2348 Schumacher had no impact about mercedes cars

@@alexlacl8730 Yes he did...you muppet. The whole team thanked MS for his contribution for the first few titles...he set the ethos. If the whole team thanked him as a main contributor...who are you exactly? Some pos trying to justify something you can't 🤣

Don't for get Jim Clark

I was 99 on Nürburgring, this Sound i will never forget. No compare to nowadays cars, also the turbo cars from the 80s sounds better than this vacuum cleaner

@Patrick Bateman Senna had pressure from Schumacher.

MemeSchool: No doubt, Senna is at the top when it came to qualifying, nobody can out qualify Senna in the same car. In regards to racing, I believe Schumacher had the edge. His fitness and stamina made him more of a complete driver than Senna. There were times when Senna could barely hold up the trophy as he stood on the podium. Schumacher on the other hand, would stand on the podium looking as fresh as he did before he'd raced (regardless how hot the conditions were)... Whether the 94 Benetton was quicker than the 94 Williams is debatable cause I think the 94 Williams was a quicker and better car... What makes Senna and Schumacher the greatest F1 drivers? Their exceptional wet weather drives, this is where they totally dominate, nobody comes close. As long as Senna and Schumacher are at the top of peoples lists, I won't argue as to who was the best. Personally I prefer Michael but that is just an opinion...

MemeSchool: You say you don't know how quick the 94 Benetton was compared to the 94 Williams but contradict yourself by also saying Schumacher's car was quicker than Senna's due to legality?

MemeSchool: Now I think about it, Adelaide 94 and Jerez 97 ain't Michael's fault at all... The blame and shame should be directed at Damon and Jacques. As they were both driving superior Rothmans Williams Renault's (also Williams' best livery), the race should not of gone down to the wire. What Michael did was not right but it was instinct to win and you cannot blame him for trying to win. World championships come around once a year so to be fighting in the last race with an inferior car against the best car of the field, who wouldn't? The bragging rights alone should be enough reason! Michael would of never brought a championship down to the wire if he was piloting the best car, although boring for fans, Michael would of won the championship ages before the last race.

love michael

Well Max would've picked up on traits from Michael given how close the Schumacher and Verstappen families were back when they were Benetton teammates.

I think it’s because of senna’s raw speed, but I would put Senna no. 2 or no. 3 because he was not a great guy to work with, he’s more of an alonso, great driver, has raw speed but a nightmare to work with

Maybe because Shumacher said Senna is number 1? So did Nikki Lauda, Hamilton, Gehard Berger, and other great names. "Senna is the greatest," said Schumacher. You cannot compare us because we are drivers from different eras, he and I. "No-one can know how much more he would have achieved in his career if he had carried on racing."

​@@stepladder3257 He was a great guy to work with. Try to watch something about him. He always told the engineers where the problems were. Outside the races he was a very generous man who helped millions of children in Brazil with his foundation. He left a big part of his money in his will to help children as he used to say: we have to create opportunities to children because they are the future. If he wasn't a nice person, his funeral wouldn't have so many people.

Not a German sports icon. He was a sports icon all over the world. But of course especially in Germany.

its dead since 2013

@@leart78 Truth hurts but yes. Let’s just hope people 20 years from now his Legacy/Impact from F1 is still remembered everyone. Yes he is very conventional driver but he was one of the greatest athletes in human history.

Lewis is at a stage that he has achieved everything ..7 championships..even planning to retire and suddenly you have this past teammate now with a fast car whos hellbent on getting even with you 🤣 and then you also have a young Russell to handle .🤣LIFE IS NEVER EASY FOR A CHAMPION in Formula 1

Michael galvanized the whole team to become the best

@JR422 000 Well Hamilton is an outstanding driver for sure, but i'm not sure he is on the same level as Schumacher when it comes to working with his team. You could see that for instance in the finale of the 2016 championship when he basically started to threaten the double victory for Merc, just to have a last desperate chance for the title. I understand that he doesn't like to lose, but what he showed their was just childish. It's also interesting what Nico Rosberg said about Schumacher and his determination to bring the team forward. Schumacher gave even input about the behaviour of the car and how to improve it after his last race in 2012. So basically he helped the team to build a car he very well knew he would never drive.

@JR422 000 No. Hamilton never built a team from the ground up. Never won a championship in a season where his rivals had equal machinery and where he fought tooth and nail. The one time he had a rival in equal machinery in 2016 he was exposed as mentally fragile and given to accusing the team and letting go of his frustrations in public. He did it again in Sochi just last weekend. Hamilton is not great. He may be better at designing clothes and being an activist than being a pure racer.

It's not the driving it's your enthusiasm hormones that blunt with age.

I am jealous of you sir. F1 definitely was more raw and inspiring back then.
