Once the problems with the Williams were sorted, although it would have been close, Senna would have taken the title. Hill was no where near Sennas class and he took it to the last race before he receded the WDC. Something that only happened after your GOAT took Damon out after hitting the wall!

    This guy was unbelievable to watch. He started in F1 at a time when there was some real heavyweights of the sport. He had competition for 95 percent of his career, had to battle with other great drivers in better cars. But he was still the one challenging them no matter what car he was in. Not to mention the list of his stand out races. One example, (Hungary 98). It's because of all that, that makes Michael Schumacher the greatest, not because of his stats.

He was immensely good in sub-par cars like Ferrari 1996-1999, where CLEARLY superior Williams and McLarens eventually won, but he made it exciting. Imagine if Vettel could have snagged a WDC in 2017-2019 or if Leclerc could have challanged Max in 2022 ... That was what MS could right to the final race at least. Yes he also won a SHITLOAD in superior cars in 94,95,2001-2004 but 2000 was no dance on ice and the years leading up to that was pure heartbreak for the true best on the grid.

    Everything about this video is perfect. - The V10 sound, which speaks for itself. - The cars which were incredibly quick and reactive in the corners thanks to how lightweight they were and due to Traction Control, unlike today's gigantic and bulky cars. - All the drivers shown, which are just legendary in their own might. - Suzuka back when the 130R was actually difficult to drive and the Casio Triangle was further back. Also, it was easier to try and overtake someone. - Schumacher going consistently faster, somehow finding even more ways to improve on his _own_ time. This era wasn't perfect, as some races could be boring, but it _certainly_ felt more real to watch than many of today's races do, and these quali's show just why.

He builds a team, integrates them around him and works his absolute balls off round the clock working on them and the relationships between him and them. He was genuinely loved as a human being at Ferrari because he developed personalised relationships with the mechanics and got to know them as beings and worked closely with them. The man virtually built Ferrari with a few other great minds but he would never have gone to Ferrari in the first place if those minds were not recruited with him. He did the same at Mercedes only he had Lauda who himself was a genius and also quite good at doing the same thing.

No one can dispute Michaels achievements, although to hear you talk, you'd think that he was designing the car himself. Which is clearly not the case. But if you're talking about the best F1 driver, then its extremely hard to compare across different generations. Lets for example compare Verstappen to Schumacher or to say Jim Clark, there's a good chance he will pass Schumacher's win rate, he's already past many of the old greats.

    @@ceirwan Building an F1 team and making them better and more effective is part of being a driver. F1 is a team sport first and foremost before all else. You can’t just have a great car designer and that’s it, smarty pants. You need to have all the pieces and some glue to make it happen. Agreed on it’s hard to compare across eras but the unique rebuilding of a team at Ferrari stands out and is given virtually no credit for. There’s no driver doing that on the grid today. That’s why it’s up there on its own. Agreed on the points and more races comment made. The calendar now is so jam packed it’s a joke and frankly someone needs to lookout for the welfare of the drivers. Mental exhaustion is a thing. I still see no reason why the points system ever changed from 10,8,6,4,3,2,1 tbh. Smaller, closer, points given keeps things tight and interesting for longer. The current system gives half the blooming grid credit just for finishing a race rather than proficiency and just makes it even easier for the top driver to dominate and pull away.

    The era was great. And as a viewer you got the feeling they really used the cars, sometimes you got the feeling, the cars were bending under the load they put on it. You saw Michael or Mika driving on the very edge and you could see that's it, it is impossible to go any faster - the car would break or they will crash. It was epic to watch, always mindblowing and somehow unreal to see, what they could to with the cars. On top of that the screaming engines - there was nothing left than goosebumps watching it. Last time i saw someone really pushing the car to the limit like Schumacher here was Verstappen '21 in Jeddah - and he crashed. I remember watching Verstappens lap and i immediately thought that he will crash, or that he will deliver one of the greatest laps of the last 10 years.

    An excerpt from John Allen's book "The Edge of Greatness": Being on the limit is also about feeling the grip level which the track is offering and tailoring your braking and cornering so that you are on the limit at all times but never over it. You must have an intuitive feel for the level of grip and because the track is a living thing, with natural oils coming out of it at varying temperatures, the grip level can change quite dramatically in a matter of minutes. The driver must have enormous sensitivity to changes in track conditions. Speed is not just about doing one fast lap, it is about being able to sustain laps at close to maximum intensity throughout a race. As Schumacher reflects: "The most important thing for me is that feeling of being on the limit, of pushing myself and always pushing the boundaries. For example, during qualifying at Suzuka in 2001 I did a lap which was eight tenths faster than the computer said was possible with our car. That was a feeling of surpassing yourself, which is totally regenerative. It was such a powerful affirmation for me." And BTW, Barrichello's Suzuka qualifying lap was 0,839 seconds slower: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Japanese_Grand_Prix

And not just during a qualifying lap. He was also able to turn on qualifying mode during a race and drive 10 consecutive laps like this without hardly ever making a mistake. True legend.

    Yeah, god that was a great race. I think for me it has to be France 2004 when Schumacher went for a FOUR stop strategy and made it work by just hammering fast lap after fast lap like a maniac. And then Ruben’s snatching 2nd place at the last corner! I remember being on the edge of my seat the entire race. One of the all-time best displays of raw driving talent and sheer domination imo.

    @@Foxhunter_DE the fact that he was in a mid-field car (at best) in a monsoon and lapping 3sec quicker than the rest of the field for an entire race tells you everything you need to know. Can you imagine that today?Alonso, Hamilton, Vettle… The second they aren’t in a dominant car, they struggled. Schumi was able to take cars that had absolutely no business at the front of the grid and squeezed every drop of performance possible out of them and then some throughout his entire career. There will never be another Schumi. #keepfightingmichael

    Why do a lot of people ignore him, when it comes to list up the greatest drivers? Even in germany are stupid characters calling him 'Schummel-Schumi' (cheating-Schumi). He really derserves to be called one of the best of all times, together with men like Fangio, Senna or now Verstappen, all of them demonstrated their skills even in cars of second choice.

    Might wanna change where you look for driver ratings. Michael is still widely considered one of, if not the best, racing drivers in history. The only people who don't seem to say this are those who only got into F1 through DTS and only know Hamilton and Verstappen for being fast.
