Terrific Podcast on the great Michael Schumacher. Thanks for all the effort that both of you guys put into these amazing story telling sessions, that I’m sure for all of us listening in are most grateful. One thing that comes to mind regarding so called ‘flawed’ drivers like Michael is that, without the incredible level of intensity they unleashed in the sport, we wouldn’t have such a colorful history to look back on and reminisce about.

The flowers of victory belong in many vases. My favourite Michael Schumacher quote 💐

Thanks for this, really enjoyed it. Michael Schumacher is the GOAT for me 😎💪🏼🙏🏼

For Michael’s stunning ability in wet conditions, check out what he did in Monaco and Spa in 1997. Seeing him build gaps to P2 of 10, 20, 30 seconds in a handful of laps was just incredible.

Don't watch Monaco 96 though....

Schumi came into Ferrari in 96. Ross Brawn came in Ferrari after Schumi. In one of his podcast Ross mentioned that when Schumi left Benetton it was the toughest time of there relationship he also mentioned that if he had not left Benetton in 96 the car he had in Benetton could have gotten him another WDC. Lauda and Todt were one of the major influence for Schumi to Join. Ferrari letting Schumi go was one of the biggest mistake in my opinion he would've won the championship in 07 and 08. Just a Schumi nerd talking. Love this episode!

Yet again, another great podcast. Keep up the good work guys!

Wonderful podcast about the great great Schumacher. What a complete driver he was, but he was the most oustanding in the rain. He would always win if it rained. Would be great a podcast about Alain Prost.

Very good coverage of an interesting character. I was at Silverstone when he broke his leg ('99 ?). Initially the crowd applauded, then once the seriouseness became obvious all were almost silent. A suggestion of a future subject, Bernie Eccleston.

The GOAT.

"Most complete racing driver" who never had a competitive teammate. The teams were always built around him. His teammates were just lackeys and puppets. Think about Prost who beat five world champion teammates. Senna (actually outscored him both 88 and 89), K.Rosberg, Damon Hill, Niki Lauda and completely demolished Nigel Mansell at Ferrari 1990. Prost also dominated in much more competitive era. During Schumacher's reign there were only three super talents (Hakkinen, Alonso and prime Raikkonen at McLaren). 1985 alone had seven world champions on the grid (Jones, Rosberg, Senna, Lauda, Prost, Mansell, Piquet) and drivers like Berger, De Angelis, Arnoux who could all win in their good day. The only world class teammate Schumacher ever had was a 40-year old Piquet at Benetton (for 6 races). Piquet actually outscored him. I'm not saying he wasn't a great driver. He definitely was. But not at Prost/Senna level, imho.

The greatest.

Simply too dirty to be considered the greatest, in my view. Such a shame, as he was good enough not to have to behave like that.

Fantastic podcast, many thanks for the insights, how about James Hunt ? Both as a driver and commentator 😊

Schumacher made Formula 1 the second most watch sport after Football.Dont forget that never again

Although I know schumacher was a great driver, the stat on beating his teammate every year comes with the fact that he was a tyrannical undespituted number 1 driver in the team

Schumacher ran traction control from the very beginning of 94 . Senna saw it during pre-season testing but Frank Williams/Renault weren’t prepared to cheat . Senna tried desperately to keep up with the cheat, running his car lower than Damon etc . The rest is history . Adelaide was the final straw. Good driver but a defective personality .

Wasn’t option 13 actually a launch control, rather than TC? There was some kind of TC, but it wasn’t option 13, I think that was one of the fine points that got them away with it.

If you’re looking for future topics how about Ronnie Peterson, Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren or Jack Brabham?

Do Alonso

Time stamps please gents

Beating his teammate every season of his career (broken leg and disqualification excepted) i think is the yardstick of ability. I'm onboard with the cheat and Senna argument's and i was never a Schumacher fan but.....

Yeah second rate teammates who were under contract of being his puppets. How about Prost who beat five WORLD CHAMPION teammates? (Senna, Lauda, K.Rosberg, Hill and Mansell)?

Very interesting, and one statistic that has been left out. He never had a crash with a teammate. You show me a person who has no flaws and I'll show you a robot. Lewis it's never my fault and when it is it's one of those thing's Hamilton, has banzai'd into teammate, could have killed Max at silverstone which was even more blatant that Senna on Prost, and for a season or two played bumping car's with Mass. When i doesn't like a question he looks like a pyschopath. Lewis's action's aren't quzzed or put under the microscope in the same way. There's a yt vid of Lewis's brain fart moment's. He's no cleaner or faultless as f1 talking head's make out. The goat for me is between Senna and schumi. Reason being they won race's they had no right to win, in car's that in anyone else's hand wouldn't have., Ross joined ferrari in 97 lads not 96.

Sorry but not in the pantheon with Fangio, Clark and Senna and a cheat too boot. Just two laps respectively Clark in the rain at Spa and Senna in the rain at Donington refute the arguement. Any film of Fangio drops the jaw.

Alonso

The Mercedes team owes a significant amount to Schumacher in building and developing them as a squad ready to launch in the new F1 Regs from 2013

You've done 3 episodes dedicated to Michael Schumacher before, I mean for god's sake what's next? An in depth look at the alpine a110??👎

Love the podcast but the English bias is a bit much. Adelaide he just drove the racing line and Hill was dumb enough to dive into a disappearing gap. Today it would give him Ocon like penalties😂. Jerez was 200% disgrace and his punishment was well deserved.

Wrong. He was dirty and un sportsmanlike. Made Senna look like a choirboy.

You're off ur head with those the German is a baddy goggles on. Prost & Senna both took eachother out to win championship, they did what they had to to win WC's. It wasn't contested until Michael did it.

What a complete rubbish. The best ever was SENNA period.

Senna was incredible as a driver but it was Michael who brought it all together from not just driving but building a team to win, it’s what every modern champion now has to do. It’s his blueprint.
