Inside Sport: Michael Schumacher interview 2008

[mich27g]

seb is talented!!! but at the end of the day its his car that is doing the job!!!!!

[jeanclaude780]

Schumacher was right about Vettel ^^

[TheV12ferrari]

Funny when Schumi talks bout his 7 titles and then says that, lewis, massa or vettel could beat it and look at vettel now

[theajosephantony]

Shumacher simply the best

[f1matt]

he may be right about vettel. that kid is mega quick.

[OBrechkin]

The managers The ppl involved in f1 have all voted INCLUDING Shumi that Arton Senna is the best of all time

So put this argument to rest

[Bonaboms]

@OBrechkin The argument is at rest, Schumi is the best ;) Since defining a "GOAT" is all about making an assumption of performance and presence, the only way to do this objectively is to look at the numbers, end of..

Then, you can always have your opinion, or favorite, but numbers always trump opinions in an argument about some objective matter/topic.

Schumi says Senna is the best out of respect bc he doesn't want to look bad& he admired Ayrton! (and schumi knows himself to be the best anyw.)

[SlamDuncDrummer]

@Bonaboms - he is certainly a master blocker, maybe even the best blocker.

[OBrechkin]

I love how shumi is so humble he doesnt point who is the best driver to not insukt anyone he doesnt go running around saying he is #1 because he admits senna was a better driver than he was so i never understand the hate ppl have against him so let me make it simple to everyone

1)Shumi is the best on paper 7 Championship 91 Victories so theres no denying he is a fantastic and brilliant driver

2) Senna is the best of all time why? Because anyone who knows anything about F1 such as the driver

[nickJod1234]

Schumacher. What a man. I don't need to mention his success.

[matthewbaldry]

It's interesting that he mentioned Vettel. At this point, Seb was still at Toro Rosso (although had been confirmed to replace Coulthard at Red Bull) and had just won at Monza in the wet.

[ANDYB1478]

Michael Schumacher's world titles are not valid because his team mates were not allowed to race him, so he was not racing every car on the track.

[cookrzg60]

Why is he wearing leather pants?

[destiny6666]

he got nothing at 0:46 :)

[Taikamya]

@FromLasVegas To say this... crap. You've got to be kidding. Either you never saw Prost/Piquet/Senna racing or you're just another blind fanatic.

There's no question that Schumacher is outstanding. But there's also no doubt that he'll never be in F1 top 5.

[BarneveldDarts]

@Taikamya i say only

7

91

good bye....

[NLR884evr]

Michael Jordan never said he was the best and never would because it would be in poor taste. Michael Schumacher never says he's the best either. Michael Jordan and Michael Schumacher are the best in their perspective fields.

[keepmetal]

Schumi said " Senna is the best " (top gear)

[BarneveldDarts]

@keepmetal yes, like Federer says Sampras is the best Messi says Maradona is the best... it would be very "unnormal" when Schumi would say "I am the best" ...

[Taikamya]

@BarneveldDarts Every single driver says Senna is the best. (every year's poll in F1)

And now what? :) Just search for it. Every year F1 make a poll where each driver vote for the best of all time. Since 1995. EVERY YEAR Senna wins.

Let me put this as it is. HE'S DEAD SINCE 1994. Do you understand the magnitude of this?

Schumacher says Senna is the best, because HE IS. Senna is God for F1. Cannot be touched. Any expert knows this, any F1 driver knows this.

Except Schumacher fans.

[dsafsfa]

@Taikamya hahaha Senna was my favorite driver, but schumacher was clearly the best of f1, i mean look at it (no offence to anyone) Senna had died winning 3 world titles, schumacher had lived winning 7. Senna had loved f1 from the bottom of his heart and such a strong passion for it so that is why people love him so much, you would never find ever a driver with that much love, knowledge or passion for the sport. Schumacher clearly had the same skills, maybe better, but not the passion as he did

[seasnake2275]

@dsafsfa Senna was getting old at the time when the very young Schumi entered this sport.Now,look at Schumi,when he is also old,what "wonderful" skills he proves to have in comparison to the new young drivers such as Vettel,Webber,Button or Hamilton.

[Taikamya]

@BarneveldDarts ps : Messi says Maradona is the best 'cause he's from Argentina. Every expert agrees that Maradona never came close to Pelé. LOL.

[DeathMetalShredd666]

schumacher and hitler are the only 2 respectable germans

[lolayesss1]

schumacher is the only german I like!

[Howitzer909]

Anyone notice a theme in the BBC questioning?

Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, Lewis..blah blah blah blah

[KevinundMarkus]

look at senna vs. prost guy

[BarneveldDarts]

what you want to tell us with your comment?

[mich27g]

prost guy, dont u mean alain prost!!!!! ur a great f1 fan!!

[stooookton1234]

schumi good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[puzzler103]

This aint stoook, It is you, BarnevaldDarts! You just added another "o"

ooooo....infantile!

[pm7movies]

@stooookton1234 no schumi god!!!!!

[puzzler103]

Nice, light-hearted topical discussion on this post....not!! WTF?

Great video, interseting to hear Schui defending Raikkonen.

I miss Shui racing days, but I am glad he still stays with Ferrari and supports Massa.

BarneveldDarts, I know not everyone is a fan of Senna, but I am sure you arent the Senna-hater they say. Senna meant a lot to Shui. In Adelaide 94 I was going for Hill, but with what Schui did for Senna afterwards I will never forget.

[MeBest777]

Michael Schumacher may have dirty tricks. But he is smart. Bit like Senna. Häkkinen is a classic Finnish person, with enormous talent for formula driving skills.

[BarneveldDarts]

hm, I wouldn't say that Schumi is a bit like senna... senna was an unfair, arrogant and very riskful driver. Schumi is a smooth, in perfection, talented and excellent driving skill (feeling for he car) driver = like alain Prost!

[gillesenna1]

LoL what a loser you are!

Schumacher and Prost apples and oranges!People are right you have 100 profiles posting shiton senna and support schumi and prost!LOSER!

[fuzzyfuz8]

@BarneveldDarts never heard so much crap in so less letters.

[BarneveldDarts]

maybe crap 4 u, but TRUE !!!!

[fuzzyfuz8]

@BarneveldDarts anyone please tell him the facts, that are obvious speaking against this points ? thanks

[BarneveldDarts]

7 times wc

all records. facts enough??

person: from a nobody with no money to the best driver ever. point :-)

Comeback 2010!!!!

[david181993]

Senna was unfair? Give an example. And even if he was, so was schumacher.

Arrogant? He had the right to be arrogant, he was a fucking good driver!

Riskful? What, is this supposed to be bad? That is what made senna so good, taking risks others wouldn't take. Drivers are bad if they are too cautious.

[dryhot1]

hes the stig

[jbird0168]

That episode was a big damn disappointment.

[Mknives]

Get the track built 1st!! Time is running out.

[randar3]

am i wrong here, or is michael wearing leather three-quarter-length trousers?

[Mauricefeo]

haha, when I watched ít first, I understood: "I just don't like lewis to be honest"

[kiddingboy128]

Yes!!! He is so right! :-) 1. Schumacher (the best) 2. Fangio 3. Prost 4. Lauda 5. Alesi 6. Hakkinen 7. Coulthard 8. Alonso 9. Piquet and 10. Vettel ? ;-)

[Struwinio]

in my eyes one of the old guys like hill belonng in the list instead of Alonso

[falken100]

Dude, surely you can add Senna somewhere :)

[5950ziel]

For you Coulthard was better driver than for example Senna? O my God

[stoookton1234]

5950 kiddingboy 128 is a troll account whose owner is Barveldarts a sick Senna hater who uses other accounts to post comments or upload discusting videos on Senna.Thie is not just another Schumacher fan,,,if Schumacher knew this was a fan of him he would get upset...

Sorry to say but Schumacher deserves better fans than mental retards with no life.

Just so that you know,,,

[BarneveldDarts]

what are you writing for shit again you fanatic crap fan of a dead driver??? I have only this one account! Who is kiddingboy? All videos I uploaded I uploaded with my account here.. all other would be unintelligent.

You are a fan of sh!t .. but I am a Schumacher fan and you can write what you want crap.

No it seems that a senna deserves better fans as crap idiotic fanatic Schumacher haters. The whole time I was here on youtube, I only met senna fans who hate Schumi in all!

[BarneveldDarts]

Isn't that a prove that especially the senna fans respect Schumi mostly and know that he is the best? Yes! Because enviousness is the greatest indication for RESPECT! Owned ;-).

And all senna fans should stand to that! hehe.. but they are scared to write it down.. hm

[stoookton1234]

YOU stupid noob I am a fan of Hamilton,Stewart Mansell and all so many British drivers and just respect the best drivers not you with your troll accounts.

Do not deny what the whole community knows any English speaking person knows your bad English idioms are the same with the rest and you know so well what we both know.Where did you see me say anything about Schumacher in your video you moronic idiot?It's you that is crazy and send me comments about Senna and Schumacher.

[BarneveldDarts]

shut the fuck up you idiot loool... you can be a fab of sennas dog or the queen it's uninteresting for me. But you only nerve with your silly comments that I have some more accounts am a senna hater and maybe I dont think at all on the grammatic when im writing english .. shut the fck up who cares lol. you are crap. looooool BIG looool! You began to write that senna is better than schumacher, with hate, lied things, fanatic and so on.. it was YOU! ;-)... are you 10 years old? seems to be...

[stoookton1234]

Go find yourself a woman or guy you pathetic retard or you will end up in a mad house posting Senna hating videos 40 years from now!Cheers from the country with the best drivers in the whole world,the best champions !!!!!!TRUE champions!!!!!hahaha

[BarneveldDarts]

Go and find yourself a new brain you fanatic crap idiot.

Schumi OWNS all british, brazilian and the whole world of drivers in all because he ruled (still rules) F1 and he is the best driever ever! And that i not only good.. more good is that I know you know it too :-). Bye

[GraveWhisperer]

michael schumacher is a LEGEND! use to love when he used to have DUELS against his brother Ralf during some races

[BarneveldDarts]

absolutely m8 :-)

[cobra0126]

hes the stig

[porsche911turbo323]

he is not the stig

[BarneveldDarts]

he is the Best!!

[1337gam3r07]

I would say Hakkinen is the best racer. He not only does F1 But Rally also

[1337gam3r07]

You're right. In top gear there was a Germany VS UK challenge and the Stig was part of team UK, if he is the Stig Then TOp Gear false avdertized

[andrewcovie]

id love to meet schumacher

[mmmbilly]

"Fans will be hoping Lewis can defend his crown" Who'd have placed a bet Jenson being champion back then.......

[schumiisking]

schumacher is spot on when saying 'you have to look at the circumstances, and they are not always very straightforward and very clear from the outside'.

this is the problem with F1 - it really ISN'T clear who is the best driver, unless you A. know something about driving B. know the history behind it. the n00bs were bumming hamilton, but there are SO many reasons why he's not 'great', and certainly not multi champion material. he hardly won convincingly last year...

[zelusfin]

shumi the god of this sport

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

I miss him

[jonnyb2222]

Schuey was the best ever. 7 WCs and such a long career. Comparing schuey and senna.. well it's just a shame the 94 season tragically went as it did, would have been great to see how that battle would have turned out .. who knows who was better.. but both in decent cars in the 94 season, schuey did win the first 2 races before imola... i reckon it would have been close who won the title that year..

[azoozi031]

Schumi is one smart dude this guy is a legend he is my hero

[chrisfm23]

guess you don´t know this guy, girl! he´s the greatest of all times! he´s been where lewis will never even has an idea of ...

[AndyFXG]

FerrariGTO288 well said man

[superhot2004jpjp]

Schumacher is one of greats for sure.　However, he is not better than Senna because he has no experiences to drive alongside of great champions whereas Senna had Alain Prost in his prime during Maclaren days but he often cheated for making good record for his own. This is what Harvert, Irvine, Barrichello know about. Therefore, his record does obviously make him being overrated.

[FerrariGTO288]

Schumi was the best of them all...some times Numbers do all the speaking !!! 7 world championships plus all the rocords of any kind DID NOT come by chance or luck !! He was the best..records.. wins..and poles at all circuits and in all weather..ESPECIALLY in..he danced like no other could ..and that is what makes he the true all time champion !!

[jkamwal]

youre exactly rite

[hotdognobun]

Agree he helped rebuilt ferrari f1 to be where they are now. MS did rack up many records but he had a longer career. Senna got pole faster and shorter in his career. If he had survived their records would be close. when you speak f1 ms and senna rulez.

[FerrariGTO288]

i agree my friend..schumi and senna !! after saying theese 2 names words are not needed !!! its a shame we lost senna too early. Some ppl love senna, some Shumi all for a reason..i love shumi coz he left beneton when he was a king and went to a miserable ferrari team without winning anything for 20 years(1979) that takes balls and character!! and in 3 years he started winning everything everyone (in all weather) and all records! The driving determination MS has is unique! 2m his the alltime best

[Filzmufc]

c' mon thnk about it the reason he retierd is bcoz he had nothing else 2 prove he had been there and done that.

SHUMI the KING

[MagicAyrtonforever]

I Like Senna and Hamilton the Best.. Schumi was a great driver.. but he cheated a lot..

[BarneveldDarts]

cheated a lot?

tell me when he cheated!!

[bruges90]

Jerez 98 :)

[BarneveldDarts]

jerez 97 :)

[bruges90]

Yeah sorry I was typing fast

but he did cheat there ;)

[BarneveldDarts]

lol

[dickysanchez]

Schumacher licks the assholes of FAGS!!!! and you hold the cum bucket...

That fucking PUSSY has had those championship handed to him, cant drive worth SHIT... the new rules in Fuck1 develops pussies not REAL DRIVERS like SENNA!!!!

FUCK YOU BITCH!!!

[BarneveldDarts]

hey you retarded bitch!!!

i bet you loser cant even drive as good as my mother!! looool

and schumacher is twice as good as senna so shut up!

[mallamoozoo]

dickySanchez owned you there barneveld. FAce it - Schui was a top 10 of all time - thats pretty good - but not even close to the master Ayrton Senna

[BarneveldDarts]

are you stupid?? LMAO. schumi top 10??? r u kidding me?

no!!!!! listen, schumacher is the best driver the world has ever seen and will ever see!!!!! he is twice as good as senna!!!! thats why you hate schumi so much, because he is so damn good!!!! schumacher>the rest!

if schumi would still drive today then he would beat hamilton!! and senna def. NOT!

[mallamoozoo]

watch?v=lnmpIqFoYtg

This is how the rest of the world sees it you biased kraut! Note what he says "Ayrton Senna - the greatest Formula 1 driver ever".

Its a British program - not brazilian or german so it's unbiased - and they say it as matter-of-factly as they might say "Tuesday follows Monday"- it's just a fact that doesn't even need explaining- everyone recognizes that Senna was and always will be the Greatest of All-time- far far far ahead of lesser men like Schumi who maybe is a top 10.

[mallamoozoo]

Schumi comes in around 5 to 10 of all time according to most experts, including me. Senna Prost Fangio Clark were all clearly better. And probably Villeneuve Mansell Stewart Lauda were too. (Schui just did more races than any of them and FAR more often had the best car - so you should ignore his meaningless stats like all experts do.)

[KrisztianKotucs]

Villeneuve??? LOL! :D:D:D

[mallamoozoo]

Yep - Gilles not Jaques.

[mallamoozoo]

You know it bro! Schui handed all his hollow stats on a plate - the whole world sees through his meaningless statistics (everyone except biased germans like Barneveld).

Rock on bro - Senna forever the King!

[BarneveldDarts]

you are a total psycho!!!

you always try to make schumi bad, but you cant hahah :-)

schumacher is the greatest driver ever and every single human being on earth knows it!!! even murray walker and eddie jordan say that schumacher is the greatest!! so shut up you non-expert mallamoozoo, you are a total n00b!

[joseavs]

The principal thing for a great champion es motivation. When at 7:42 he said "Why". It is good reason to accept. Borg retire of Tennis at 26 years old [at the top of conditions] for motivation. For me, it was a shame to not see Senna against in 94, and Him against Lewis in 07. Other champions, Piquet, Mansell retire when his conditions fail. Michael was a great and superb driver, no doubt that. Is not my first option, but is good to see him talking about his career. Thanks for this video.

[hellafoolsbe]

great person, givs nuffin away, and ultra ultra competetiv, lewis is fantastic, as was schiu, but there will never be another micheal, or senna, same with lewis, they all/were are individually amazing

[HUNDOLOS]

Does anyone know the title of the music? Please, let me know! Thanks!

[junaidbaloch4]

schumacher is really an impressive person... i adore him for the grace he has

[paolo1986]

oh fuck!Schumacher english is very impressive and fluently!I'm italian but I have to say that his italian is very bad!

[cibogin43]

Damn.. He's so Impressive !! Clever answers! Michael will always be The Best

[Brainman94]

hamilton is not even as good as schui, much less Senna!

[Hughesy119]

totally agree

[saroshsoman]

Exactly...he was not able to crack him one bit...that guy is too good....

[breenythelad]

Congrats to the black twat, unlucky to felipe and I hope fernando comes to ferrari soon.When that happens, be prepared...hamilton's title WILL BE TAKEN.if you dont want to believe then fine, but i dont care because i know michael is and was the best ever, and no one will ever better him.

[Brainman94]

hamilton is not even as good as schui, much less Senna!

[breenythelad]

Hamilton won the champ this year, and despite being biased towards ferrari, i reckon he deserved it. Alonso is the best driver in the field, no doubt, and i think michael's record of 7 titles may be threatened when fernando goes to ferrari.

Make no mistake, schuey was better than alonso...and any other driver for that matter...and were he in a massively competitive car he could have had 10 or more titles.

[myvolkswagencaddy]

Michael Schuamcher a legand and lewis can be a legand and well done to lewis and his family and lewis could match the great michael schaumchers record watch this space

[GIANNHSPEIRAIAS]

yes maybe but the "other child"of schumacher vettel is coming...

[Hughesy119]

i truy believe that if michael was still in formula 1 now he'd win the world title he is the greatest ever bar senna, a truly cass act. Long live Michael.

[Brainman94]

hamilton is not even as good as schui, much less Senna!

[immase]

he is a great man and a great driver... he is like a perfect driver, but to be honest... he took risks, he knew how to save his tyres, he knew tactics... he knew too much!!! I am a Senna guy! I like drivers who takes risks who drive with their guts!! like Hamilton...

[ijms1369]

miss u michael

[MAZMARTinc]

Michael is truly a class act, a gift from God to the world. He's modest, caring and obviously super talented. What a joy to see and hear him. I saw the vid of him breaking down to tears regarding bettering Senna's record. Very impressive display of his heart.
