Michael Schumacher Qualifying at Silverstone 1996

[Sqiwamjon]

death waiting for you with arms wide open in every curve....

[Pompyroftw]

Superior handling in the last sector. The greatest driver!

[schummiehugo]

hahahahahahaah .. the face of hill...((is this real ))??????

[SennaHamilton4ever]

The difference between those cars are modern f1's is huge. He does copse corner in third. Nowadays the red bull takes it full throthle

[wallaces44]

wanna have ur picture taken in this car go haynes motor mueseum near yeovil

[manmonkee]

One of the few years Schuey wasn't in a car specifically designed for his unusual driving style, Still seemed to do pretty well, Won Spain If I remember right, Irvine described that car as a dog...

[BSuiTeS189]

the people who dislike are the people who have no balls unlike this guy

[disjoinedchip2]

i remember in this race a fly landed on one of the onboard cameras and the lens cleaner pushed it across the screen. one of them silly things that stuck in my mind. lol.

[rolandmik]

Bask when F1 was still F1 and not the bernie ecclestone parade.

[selamant]

Goodyear

[BigCluster95]

Pirelli Tyres ?^^

[Erkal2006]

@BigCluster95 Goodyears

[BigCluster95]

@Erkal2006 ah ok becuz of the yellow stripes at the tyre ;)

[Erkal2006]

@BigCluster95 no worries bud, ironically, this was the 2/3rd I watched f1, and the 1st one I paid full attention to everything

[dvnupldr]

ahh, the last year of luffield being a double lefthander rather than the neverending (and annoying) curve it is now

[azapro911]

Since this is from '96, that was probably Schumacher's longest run of the weekend, including the race. :P

[ossian53]

Furi ez az utolsó szektor

[SchumiSutil]

You can see of shit the Ferrari was. Schymacher had to fight every corner to get the car right, especially on the last section. 3rd on the grid, 1.5s faster than Irvine.

[BigCluster95]

cars in 2004 are very fast and with more power^^

[Tommovdv]

with that high nose, its the best looking F1 car, ever! I really think it looks awesome

[rfsculero]

@Tommovdv This particular Ferrari is an uggo if you ask me.

[Tommovdv]

@rfsculero Well people can have different thoughts:) maybe i overreacted a bit when i said it was the best looking car ever. But i think this one is a beauty. The 1998 is also really good looking.

[Nomastalgic]

a lot of people think he is slower now then back in the day. imo the other drivers on average are much faster than they used to be. therefore he looks slower. almost every driver in f1 now is a world champion level karter, back in 96 u couldnt say that i dont think.

[weallfollowmanutd]

LOL what an animal his first Ferrari was. To think he won 3 races with this and without reliabilty issues couldve won more still! - Theres no question Michael of 2010 is not even close to his own level in 1996. He didn't need the car to absolutely work for him back then.

[kxjack]

@weallfollowmanutd

You center the targhet, he can't push like this whit actual tyres and cars that's his problem.

If you do this in two laps your tyres are finished, the engine can't be changed, you don't have spare car so if you make a mistake you are out also in the other race, actual F1 is not for people like Schumi he do every lap pushing car at the limit , right now he can't push at all.

[rich1701]

I miss the days when drivers had to hacksaw the steering wheel through corners

[launger]

wow the car acted very odd, lotsa understeer in some places, and he had to fix it with throwing the car into oversteer.

[kallo182]

Can somebody tell me why Schumacher take the Corner1 (Copse) in the 3th Gear???

The Cars from today take Copse in 6th Gear, and if you got High-Downforce Wings you take Copse Full Flat Out....

So why he take the 3th Gear???

Is this Corner Build over???

[18PacWest]

Copse corner (1980's-1996) taken in 3rd gear as you said and the newly revised version of Copse (1997-present) is now taken flatout in 7th gear.

[jezza77]

Notice he cocks his head to the side down the straights..??? He does this to allow a more cleaner airflow into the airbox so that Ferrari V10 can breathe undisturbed. Ferrair then changed the design later on so Schumacher could avoid moving his head.. But he did this lap after lap during a full race..!

[arturcraft2]

@jezza77

nice info, thanks. ;-)

[Ferrariman601]

The F310 has always been one of my favorite Ferraris.

[18PacWest]

My fav Ferraris are the F2001, the F2004 and the 248 F1

[T93N1]

@18PacWest You forgot the V12 Ferrari 1995, that was the greatest. I love his sound!!!

[18PacWest]

Yes I know, that giant roar of the famous V12 powerplant.

[mrhighspeedtrain]

pit straight has changed grid slots and starting lights are further back than they used to be

[issoisso]

Very interesting how he's throwing the car at the apex. Textbook example of a driver who likes the car pointy on oversteer fighting with a car that is horribly understeering.

Then again it was his first season at Ferrari, so it's only natural the car wasn't suited to him at all.

[18PacWest]

Slight lift on the entry to Becketts.

[OriginalDaVe]

Wow, seems like Copse was much tighter in 96. 3rd gear lol

[craigsimons1993]

Nice capture and a really rare video. Seemed to be a pretty good lap from Schumacher in a mediocre car. May I ask, where you found this video?
