2000 German Grand Prix Michael Schumacher Onboard

[rubemfut]

i miss the old hockenheim and V10 engine

[bwee11]

what upset's me is how the old circuit looks now, overtaken by mother nature

[don66688]

Agree!F()ck Tilke!

[Kimisrcn]

one sentence.. f..k you tilke..

[franckribery7Lt]

The Oldtrack is reforested!!!

[udipta21]

I truly miss this circuit. I think most of the new ones by Tilke are not very exciting :(

[Ferariiman]

@udipta21 Tilke isn't building circuits, he builts lunapark venues. Because F1 is a bad joke these days, and legendary circuits like the old Hockenheimring, Imola, Osterreichring, Indianapolis and Fuji don't belong to bernie's F1 :/

[JMeyerhof]

@Ferariiman let's go kill bernie.

[teamlotusGP]

this track is class the new ones shit

[YungahScarpz]

why did they re-design the circuit?

[MyTennis2009]

Who is commentating?

[Hiluxtaco]

This was back before they chopped up one of the greatest tracks on Earth!!

Tragic, really..

[miki9017]

340 Km/h, let me see the little v8 do that.

Bring back the great v10!

[spooky78]

@miki9017 I saw 360 I could not remember the year..:)

[vendettavenom]

I love the old f1 Tracks!!

[DonLduk]

340? lol OMG amazing

[nealogz]

Miss this track they should bring this back and make it 25 races every season to be more excting!

[Tayvk]

@nealogz well , 25 races first of all is too expensive ... Then its the problem of transporting ... How about the track looks like after a few crashes they made it shorter to make it more safe !

[evofreak1304]

i loved this track :)

[jsfowler06]

Really makes me sad too see this video! What a great track it was. I mean the new layout isnt "bad" But its nothing on this, Same with all the new sanitized circuits. Dont change the cars, Just change the tracks back!

[Speedy00]

WE NEED THAT V10's BACK!

[mcbeaulieu]

This is not from qualifying. Pole time was a 1'45.697 by Coulthard

[Bastiii1990]

@mcbeaulieu

Schumacher drove a qualifying in Hockenheim 2000, too.

[bosixbmw]

Hockenheilm-Germani was a great circuit until now

!!!

[bankieman]

Hermann Tilke: GO HOME.

[hockenheim1]

I love old Hockenheim!

[Schranz2010]

Schumacher vs. Häkkinen, the good old Days. Today the circuits and the Drivers in F1 sucks!!! Only a Commercial shit now.

[stanson1980]

That track was awesome one day

[wargod2009]

Awesome circuit in the best state in Germany!

[TheDANGERADRIAN]

i love that old hockenheim lay out

[bjoerndn2]

the old hockenheim is the best hockenheim

[BEATHROKZ]

I think the layout on the straights looks like le mans

[RedBullCroatia]

This is second Monza,but this track rebuilt and it's very stupid now.

[Legendkiller1991]

wow the old circuit was very similar to monza!

[PineTreeAndCone]

I loved this circuit! why did they get rid of it? was it too boring or something?

[tubeyouviewer1984]

@PineTreeAndCone The reason for everything changing is for "safety" but they say this new layout is more fan friendly, the cars stay more in the arena section of the track giving fans an easy way to see the cars during the whole lap rather than parts of the track. I think it's BS.

[PineTreeAndCone]

@tubeyouviewer1984 yeah i guess it was a bit quite.. i quite like the way they'd fly through the forests though.. was really exciting!

[PulletSurprise]

@tubeyouviewer1984

Most of the spectators still can't see anything because the pit garages and buildings are in the way.

I think they built one grandstand after the reconfiguration. A lot of good that did.

[Schranz2010]

@PineTreeAndCone i think because the spectator in Hockenheim saw the cars not often. The Track is to long today, the FIA want only short circuits - for commerc :)

[adyolive]

343km/h. This ciurcuit is like monza.

[AsiChicky]

@adyolive ni it´s better ;)

[adyolive]

@AsiChicky I was talkin' in terms of speed.

Old Hockenheim and Monza are all about speed.

By the way i love them both.

[leo1fun]

@bernieasshole It's a green kerb, if you look at it, it's just there, but it just isn't blue and white, as the others.

xD

[thestonecoldandy]

if this track was still in use in 2004 (of course it wasn't) they would have gone even quicker 19,000rpm 900= bhp. Pizzonia in Italy hit 229mph on the straights or 369kmh

[Ferrarirules123]

fantastico !

[crankiix]

miss the old hockenheim track :(

[asiwal]

Why they had to kill all the great circuits???

[ssssroryssss2]

If your interested, I uploaded the whole of the 1992 German GP :) part 1 /watch?v=1UuTkF9RUYk

[Falkirion]

@asiwal So true. I miss the long straights and short sharp chicanes that Hockenheim had before the reconfig.

[hockenheim1]

@asiwal

Because Ecclestone is an Idiot!!

[rahulpower]

@asiwal whats changed?

[asiwal]

@rahulpower Whats changed u ask? well haven't you seen the current layout when they changed the track in 2002. All these long straights are gone. The character of the track is gone when it used to run through the forest. Now its just like any other Tilke track.. nothing special. Just like current Nurburgring is nothing compared to the classic track. I some times wish I could back to '60s and relive all those great tracks. If you get a chance watch Grand Prix starring James Garner.

[MusicVideoJudge1]

@asiwal They were too "dangerous".

[asiwal]

@MusicVideoJudge1 Sorry mate, but I don't fully agree with you. It were the cars that were really dangerous without any safety standards or measures. If you drive a car of 50's or 60's in today's Monza or Monaco you are not any less likely to get killed if you crash. Besides they could have improved the safety standards on those old track layouts without introducing current mickey mouse layouts.

[MusicVideoJudge1]

@asiwal Thats what i mean there. The fia thought it was "dangeruos". Well at least thats what they told all the fans. They realy don't care if a driver dies. As long as they make money. Greedy basterds.

[asiwal]

@MusicVideoJudge1 OK I guess I just overlooked your double quotes. But yeah you are right, FIA/Bernie has ruined the sport. I'd rather see one lap driven by the likes of Clark or Rindt then a whole race done by the current lot.

[MusicVideoJudge1]

@asiwal I wish tilke would have left tracks alone. Especaily barcalona. That was uncalled for with that las chicane. Imola i can understand be cause of ayrton. That was just i gues nescecery. And the got rid of the chicane before the(dont know what the name is of the two coners but here goes nothing) the dubble sweep. But it still sucks. They need to bring back the monaco with out the chicane at the tunnel and make like 88 with the tunnel exit and made you dare to hit that chicane like a sweep.

[kallo182]

@MusicVideoJudge1

What are you talking??

I live in Germany, near Hockenheim, and the reason why they change the Track was because the Laptime was to long for an Modern F1 Racetrack, and the Fans who pay much Money to see the Cars, saw the Cars 44 times only for a moment.

Now the fans see the Cars 67 times, and can watch the Cars over a big part of Racetrack.

That was the only reason, and had nothing to do with dangerous.

[ZsebtelepHUN]
