Yeah, it was 1993. Pause at 0:04. Senna is standing in the middle row to the left of the two drivers with yellow Camel driving suits (Benetton), the one on the right being Schumacher himself, and Prost is in the front row in the dark blue Williams driving suit. Everyone is where they should be in 1993 with the appropriate colours of that year.
I think Ron was referring to Senna as a comparison and Schumacher was a little ruthless during his early years until he joined ferrari, when he referred to look after yourself. Schumacher became most focused and robotic from 96 onwards, check out interviews before then and say 2000 he is much less open with commenting to press. It's fair to say he did look after himself.
Very interesting insight how the relation between the drivers and managers are. Ron said "look after yourself". Michael was in a class of his own regarding techique, endurance and intelligence after Senna had died and was until he retired in 2006. Incredible!
What I don't like is that he was so aggressive and reckless in his behaviour during the Benetton days. However the Ferrari team learned him to behave himself more.
Well... if this would have happened in '95, then Mercedes would have been behind this conversation. Think about it, MS was driving C-Class Mercedes racing cars around '90 with Jochen Mass and Karl Wendlinger. But this happened in '93 as most of the commenters pointed out before.
"At the right time... come and see. Look out for yourself." Well, Ron, a control freak.
Why all the bad vibes for Ron he had senna and prost in the team at the same time. While michael was very similar to prost he could never match the speed of senna.
ron dennis' way of talking to michael makes me remind of one of the final scenes in "The Godfather I", where Don Vito talks to his son Michael...look after yourself and so on... seems that dennis considered young schumacher to be stupid. by the way: he kinda directly makes him (schumacher) an offer to come around and have a look. and schumacher was like "I'm sure i do that"... lol
I had the amazing pleasure of working for ron, he has a comb over and a dodgy lazy eye, a stinking attitude and a zero sense of humour he also nicks other teams ideas but hey I still like him, just look after your self big ron just look after your self,
At the 8 year mark in their careers, Senna had 3 WC and Schui 2. If they'd both ended there, Schui would just be a Fittipaldi or such in the record books!
Then, Schui went to Ferrari, who gave Schui an unprecedented sustained equipment advantage, while Senna went to Williams, who killed him.
Schumacher's "unprecedented sustained equipment advantage" did not arrive out of the blue. Schumacher worked hard to create it. Remember he went without the title for FOUR successive seasons - a strange barren spell for a driver at the peak of his powers. Ferrari didn't have the best car until 2001.
Everytime someone pulls out this romantic mythology crap about Schui reviving Ferrari, I will inform you of facts.
1. Schumi's own brother said in 2007; "The truth is the driver has very little to do with the car's development"
2. It was Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn who revived Ferrari (you know the same guys that made Benetton winners - again with Schui riding their coat-tails).
3. Irvine almost won the WC for Ferrari in 99 (and WOULD have w/o team-orders) BEFORE Schumi ever did.
It's the car that drives itself and then tells the engineers, mechanics and designers what's wrong with it. And YES it was Irvine who almost came close to winning the title in 1997 and 1998.
On the other hand, Senna would have got the bumper Ferrari contract for 1996 if he had lived and possibly gone on to win the title for Ferrari. But that would have had nothing to do with Senna's driving. How silly of me!
how did team orders prevent irvine the title. maybe if you look back in the beginning of the season but i think schumacher thoroughly out paced irvine before and after his accident
irvine lost the WC by only 2 points - despite the entire first half of the season being wasted playing Schui's pissbucket holder! - the points he lost here would have easily handed him the WC - and note it would have been BEFORE SCHUI ever won one for them - so the myth about shumi reviving ferrari is pure bullshit!
And now the attention seeking tool is back - we'll see that all his success was down to Brawn and the team - he just rode their coat-tails.
And anyway - Irvine "won" the 99 world championship at Ferrari (at least would have had he not lost points due to the team orders which Schui also needed as well as the best car to win his 5 titles with them.)
And Irvine did it first - before Schui (and they joined the team at the same time) so its more logical to say that Irvine revived Ferrari.
This was very interesting. Its 1993, before 1994 when Schumi became World Champion. Here already Schumi's getting more confident with him self. This conversation would not have been possible from 2002 and forward. Hehe laugh.
Ron the driving wrecker! Talking to a future drivers champion that if you don't look after yourselves, something bad might happen! I think it's pathetic! Ron is a control freak!
This conversation happened in 1993...not 1995. Senna is seated forth from the right in the second row. Damon Hill is wearing a Labatt's sponsor across his chest..Michael Schuemacher is Patresse is wearing the yellow Benneton. Schuemacher was much better in 1995 physically and you could tell and he was signed to Ferrari for 1996. Dale
Ok, here's a counterfact. Senna doing the exact same thing to Prost. Oh another one...more recent. Alonso being taken away Pole yesterday for blocking Hamilton.
You see you twat, it's not a Schumy exclusive thing...everyone did it. Prost then did the same thing to Senna. Piquet was always accused of gamesmanship and so Mansell used to do it to him. You just started watching F1 yesterday...you and people like you are pathetic.
All right here's a start .....Australia '94 Shu crashes into wall then cuts into Hill to get him from passing...remember that?...like I said your F1 history is lacking, grandprixDOTcom can help you
Nope, it was 1993. Senna had just announced his move to Williams. Mika's first season at McLaren was 1993, replacing the malfunctioning Michael Andretti.
I think Ron Dennis really wanted to talk Schumacher into having Gay Sex wit him.

Michael never drove for McLaren. Think Ron talks this way because this was in the early days. Clearly looks like Michael was very confident.
