Top Gear - Michael Schumacher Interview

[huntylayd]

The Sig was fired ages ago because he made a book and said he was the Stig and the hired a new one :-)

[TheSSpeed]

@huntylayd Please be more specific. There were more than a single Stig. Do you mean that Top Gear has fired Schumacher?? (as if he was hired in the first place??) :L

[Tha1DJPLex]

we all know the stig is a shapeshifter

[speedokills]

Omg he has a cinquecento! dude i learned how to drive in one of those and. not the abath but the old version 500 and today i own one 1967 model haha its awesome thins guy is my idol.

[pejko89]

8:05 When you're drunk everything is funny, even knockin down the fridge hahahaha

And everibody is there, you can see man from McLaren, Toyota...

[Ferr4ri458]

Are these 360 pixels ?

[turbosasa78]

Michael "The Stig" Schumacher for me one of the best driver ever! Maybe the best of alltime ;)

I will never forget the news when he arrived at airport and want to take a taxi. The Taxi driver was so excited off him that he cant drive anymore. For Michael no Problem! He driven the taxi himself ;) Great! :) (sorry for my english)

[Schredder222]

Germans; naturally better looking than the British...

[zanbimaru]

u finding it a bit boring when 1 person just endlessly wins? brilliant question from jeremy XD

[dirkkut18FTW]

well, obviously they don't fly, and . . . .

[dirkkut18FTW]

michael schumacher is lost everybody!!!!

[cherryjade99]

When I was younger, I had a picture taken with Michael Schumacher!! It's really true!!

[TheSSpeed]

Comments with swearing will be removed.

[sabl0696]

So is this the stig or what?

[dfdtydtydktydftyftgh]

@sabl0696 no, he's not The Stig

[sabl0696]

@dfdtydtydktydftyftgh so the stig has never shown his real face?

[dfdtydtydktydftyftgh]

@sabl0696 until 2010 was the English racingdriver Ben Collins The Stig

[TheSSpeed]

@sabl0696 Yes he haven't.

[mrmikespence1964]

HONKY!!! LE MASTER!!!

[aheaddrummerkid]

Listen he is not the stig, he was with Ferarri for 11 years, and he is the only person they trusted to drive the FXX, which was given to him by Ferarri when he retired.

[TheSSpeed]

@aheaddrummerkid You seriously thought that we didn't knew this before?!

[Shock4s]

Ich glaub nicht das es Schumacher ist. Der kann nichts mehr. Der könnte nicht mal mehr ein Kind besiegen.

[djebond009]

not him..

[chubbyhug4life]

@djebond009 that is Michael Schumacher...

[djebond009]

@chubbyhug4life i know him..i mean when helmet not open...this is just for show only.. :)

[seinfeldfan7898]

@Battime1 If I had a dime for every brain cell you possess, I would have 7 cents

[sakusia]

I respect Michael Shumacher. The guy deserves all the money he has. Racing cars at that speed and doing it so well risking your life in the process then yeah why not make millions or billions. He's not stealing from society like politicians, bankers, and other corrupt professions.You actually have to be talented to drive cars that fast. He also seems humble with his success not gloating or constantly in the spotlight. In other words he's not attention seeking whore.

[MrValen1984]

Enable subtitles and skip to 2:44 XD LOL!

[Bromoteknada]

Stig is not Schumacher,of course.The real stig is someone else.Schumacher just wore a helmet.

[TheSSpeed]

@Bromoteknada OMG! Really?! I DIDN'T KNOW!! I mean wow.... are you joking?!

[TheSSpeed]

@Bromoteknada I WAS ironic. We all know he's NOT The Stig, and never was.

[Bromoteknada]

@TheSSpeed Why would you ever do something like this?That's just mean....

[TheSSpeed]

@Bromoteknada Sorry, mate. ;)

[Checkyaflowbro]

i think one of the stigs relative was my highschool teacher...

[0Lamborghini]

Strangely he sounds more like Dutch than German.

[mrhan88]

how humble

[annythegreat]

why cant it be lewis hamilton!!!!

[SBUALFASNIPER]

@TheSSpeed good

[madfootypurist]

From AMERICA?!?! seriously m8 where hav u been in the last decade ://

[SBUALFASNIPER]

@madfootypurist a M8 From America...Ha The M factory is in Germany and theres Alpine and another one in Austria

[Frankdirnt341]

Some say he is the only man alive that scares Chuck Norris. :)

[traktorensteff]

@Frankdirnt341 But only when both of them are sitting behind a steering wheel!

[johnconer70]

Fiat?!!!

[anassgame]

@johnconer70  yes he drive a Fiat , its a good car , i love Fiat

[Davidoff73]

He got that funny accent, is he from America?

[MisterFruitbowl]

@Davidoff73 Germany mate;-)

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

@Davidoff73 he's german.

[Megdbsk]

handsome



[Thebearcat66]

cool

[Linkle2]

The new Stig is multiple people.

[atawhai10]

wow

[mates123jn]

My favourite driver since I was five was The Stig in my favourite TV show since I was seven!!!

[drewski4144]

I'm not a big fan of British T.V. these days, BUT!.... Top Gear is awesome! The U.S version sucks. Jeremy Clarkson is hilarious.

[funkymcmunky]

Top Gear is the best programme on TV by a mile

[frusino]

wow..my father has a fiat croma too! lol

it is easy to drive and 150cv are not so bad after all.

[CaptainAmerica322]

"And are you finding it a bit boring when one person just endlessly wins"

Haha...applicable to the 2011 season .

[coolasdasd]

@pjm5678 then micheal gambin is the stig and a F1 driver so we know he will come first might as well put him on the top even if he's not gon round

[pjm5678]

I expected a lap in the reasonably priced car.

[TheSSpeed]

@pjm5678 The Lap was before shown before Michael got on the stage and got interviewed

I found a video of the lap:

/watch?v=8qrSjVXMkpg

[TheSSpeed]

@pjm5678 I found The Stig's lap in the old reasonably priced car - The Suzuki Liana.

Here's it: watch?v=6Ip2Jy29HR0

[milstein91]

so is schumacer stig or not?

[TheSSpeed]

@milstein91 Have you read the other comments before posting this one?

[Epic0fear0]

@TheSSpeed daaaaaaaamn just answer the question

[TheSSpeed]

@Epic0fear0 ....Ermm, What question, sir?

[TheTrolzXD]

31 dislikes, those 31 people must be total morons!!!

[Viper2114]

around 6:20 the girl sounds like a hyena

[xXBifourXx]

some say that he never cuts his hair because he has scissors in his helmet!

[TheSSpeed]

@xXBifourXx And those scissors automatically cuts his hair off when it gets too long?! Ò-ó

[xXBifourXx]

@TheSSpeed That's right!

[TheSSpeed]

@xXBifourXx And how does he gets rid of the excess hair that's been cut? lol

[DurtyHarrys]

@TheSSpeed

helmet eats excess

it gets hungry from time to time..

[donfanto1]

@TheSSpeed ppl who know that are already dead. so dont ask unnecessary questions mate :)

[ravinderjitw]

Some say that he acually invented the 'Like' buttton

[TheSSpeed]

@ravinderjitw Wasn't that Chuck Norris?

[msklurgh]

@TheSSpeed The Stig invented Chuck Norris.

[MN12pivotpro]

@ravinderjitw you sir just posted my favourite comment on youtube,

[plscalladoctor]

@ravinderjitw some say hes a f1 driver

[TheSSpeed]

@plscalladoctor Michael Schumacher IS a F1 driver. but since we don't know who's the CURRENT Stig... we can't tell if he's a F1 driver :p

[TheMrmoestar]

@ravinderjitw Some say he was trained by Chuck Norris

[TheSSpeed]

@TheMrmoestar Some say that Chuck Norris was trained by The Stig.

[the1darkspiritz]

lap time?

[TheSSpeed]

@the1darkspiritz I don't have the lap footage, But if you want the time, Michael Schumacher did his FXX lap in 1 minute 10.7 seconds. (1:10.7)

[odrialma]

@raconteur85 His wifes name is Corinna or "Curry" for short.

[raconteur85]

what does he mean by "curry was so attractive for me"

[killersaad]

hehe Micheal Shoemaker

[TheSSpeed]

@NeeKroVal Yup, that's pretty much it.

[ThreeLiterV10]

i think the major reason schumacher joined mercedes was so he didnt have to drive fiats anymore...

[TheSSpeed]

@blenkin95 Its name is the FXX not the FFX.

[massivemak]

Nice interview, Schumacher being a real gentleman.

[refleXstarr]

Vettel will soon take his place as stig

[TheSSpeed]

@refleXstarr Neither of them are the Stig. But I'd actually prefer if Schumacher was the actual stig. Would make sence to me...

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

No lap!!! =O

[TheSSpeed]

@Scourgeandmephiles93 The lap isn't shown after interview, It's shown before it.

[911SuperGT]

when u see that micheal got off the helmet , if u see the helmet , stig is still in their !!

[HERA2006]

The hoster speaks too much... let michael speaks too!!!

[DjKnekteN]

In sweden "Stig" is a real name, but in english it gets confused, so i belive that stig is a fake name for someone swedish race driver named stiiiig :P

[CommanderCoat]

@rockabdechafi4ever Ben Collins is the stig

[lindsayNolte35655]

hehe Always a good time with me 

[zelzein]

The Stig has been a collection of drivers. But most often been Perry McCarthy or Ben Collins.

Schumacher was the Stig in that particular episode racing on the track with the Ferrari. But that's about it.

[TheSSpeed]

People, stop informing us that Michael is not The Stig. It's not a new thing anymore...

[ijmd89]

this video is a publicity stunt michael schumacher is not the stig

[S1elmx]

got heavily interested in f1 since watching "senna"

[XUnFroZenX]

@mamelllable orly? -.-

[nadavg10]

the guy speaks brilliant English. I wish most German spoke like him. I know they know how to speak, they just won't do it.

[S1elmx]

@nadavg10 you speak any german?

[TheCocoLokko]

who knows

i mean theres no evidence that hes not

thats what topgear really want

to make us confuse

[MrDiggarz]

MY IDOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamesoskinnies]

the real stig is more buff... this dude is scrawny

[itislupus08]

@jamesoskinnies "this dude" is the greatest racing driver who ever lived

[TheUnuse]

@mamelllable

ur kinda right cause they got a new one after he revealed himself

[conse3000]

You find it boring when just one person endlessly wins?

[TheSSpeed]

@998yusuf

I think you were describing yourself in that comment, fag.

[xtoderzx]

I think my heart just broke at 0:15 =(

[praveenaugustus]

A little disrespectful interview...

[desiking11]

ben collins is the stig .… well was anyway

[hamdanae12]

all this time, hes realy the stig?!!!

[TheSSpeed]

@hamdanae12 Not really

[rod4eva]

@TheSSpeed he was only the stig for ferrari series and when he was driving his own car ...

[TheSSpeed]

@rod4eva Ferrari didn't allow anyone else to drive Schumacher's actual black FXX, if that was what you meant.

P.S. Michael Schumacher is no more with Ferrari, he's with Mercedes now.

[rod4eva]

@TheSSpeed yes that's true he's no longer with ferrari but that's what i mean ... he was the only one allowed to drive that car ... we all know he was only the stig for a while .. a little while..

[panam2621]

EVERYONE IT WAS A JOKE!

It was just one episode cause Ferrari would not let anyone else drive their car.

[bdcollecter]

@panam2621

It wasn't Ferrari's car, it was Schumachers. The other's are in red but Schumacher requested his be Black, and his was the only exception made.

[LaMusiqueetlabeat]

@panam2621 ahh now I get it. always wondered why they did this.

[trapper439]

In a strange way, Schumacher comes across as both as arrogant as I'd expected, and yet humbler than I would have imagined. Love the question about whether he gets bored watching one guy win all the time.

[Baurles]

Popular wih men 35-44, men 25-34, men 45-54.

[HarrypotterHP7]

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW MICHAEL SCHUMACHER WAS ONLY THE STIG FOR THIS EPISODE BECAUSE FERRARI WOULD NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THERE BLACK FERRARI FXX, WHICH CAME IN THIS EPISODE.

[adamdunne007]

what season and episode was this in

[TheSSpeed]

@adamdunne007 The First episode of the 13th Season

[adamdunne007]

@TheSSpeed cheers man thanks



[TheSSpeed]

@adamdunne007 Sure thing mate. No worries

[redsofanfield]

So German. Schumi.

[ballackdeutsch]

schumi , top pilote legende.

[ballackdeutsch]

haha legende de l'automobile :).

[StaticDonut]

@TheSSpeed This year...F1 who drives the 2 silver cars?

[StaticDonut]

Those 2 silver cars don't work... Indeed Micheal indeed...Maybe work in 2012.

[TheSSpeed]

@StaticDonut What 2 silver cars?!

[bullet50000]

@TheSSpeed

The Mercedes GP cars

[techyapplemanHD]

@StaticDonut This was filmed in 2009.. He was tlaking about the McLarens werent working. NOT MercedesGP or McLaren of today..

[faziljaved]

respect

[TheSSpeed]

@SalemMillion I do not appreciate people swearing in comments in my videos.

[rwarwar]

Senna was the best ever !!!!!!!

[wiwbib]

funny when he says ..U know my english is so good...but if he is just a typical german man in germany...how could he speaks good english haha

[mitsubishi777]

Their jaws look pretty sturdy.

[WextraChaos]

L.E.G.E.N.D

[TheSSpeed]

@WextraChaos Indeed. no doubt he is! :D

[adithyab7]

u disrespected him soo much ...

[Bammer2001]

I would be obsessed with him when I was young. My dad would watch the Formula 1 ever before I was born.

[stegabba19]

schumi has nothing to prove, 7 time world champion, he's 42 now i his reactions aint gonna be as good as a 24 year olds, its just a fact

[LordTyrannus]

Schumi is still a legend. I don't care what the fanboys say Senna wouldn't be dominating in f1 at schumachers age either in the same way michael jordon didn't dominate in basketball when he returned to the sport.

[thnk4urself]

I know what has happened to Schumi. He is without a doubt the best driver ever along with Senna but he's driving terribly this year. He's 40 but it has only been 5 years since he dominated F1. People say vettel wins only bcuz his car but he's too dominant to assume that. Plus his top gear lap proved, he definetly can drive

[TheSSpeed]

@thnk4urself Well it is no doubt that he is a master of driving! (especially F1s) and Vettel is only like, what 24 years old? I mean he's new in F1 races and the youngest ever to win a F1 Championship. And Schumacher is 42 so he has more experience. But I do agree, I haven't seen any action from him this year :/ but he's still the best driver ever.

[thnk4urself]

@TheSSpeed I have a lot of respect for senna as well. I have a tough time calling either of them the best all time but I think they are without a doubt the 2 best. I don't think anyone else comes close really. I hope Schumi finds his stride because at the very least he should be beating nico rosberg and right now he's not. He has got screwed by the stewards and other drivers a few times though but I still hope to see him win a race or at least a podium

[TheSSpeed]

@thnk4urself Speaking of winning podiums... don't get me wrong but I don't want to see Vettel winning again this season... I would love to see either schumacher or senna winning this time.

[thnk4urself]

@TheSSpeed I think he will win more races. ferrari may have caught up and past rbr but vettel is a better driver than alonso or massa and I think rbr is still faster than mclaren. He needs to be better at passing though. I wouldn't mind seeing hamilton win. I think ham is probably the best driver overall but he's going to have setbacks

[tdwtFULLEPISODES]

@TheSSpeed his 21 =P

[TheSSpeed]

@tdwtFULLEPISODES He's actually 24. Go to Wikipedia and you'll find out.

[Bammer2001]

@TheSSpeed Correction. He's 42 years old.

[1994liverpoolrule]

Is Michael still the Stig ??

[daniel0731ex]

It's Phill Collins.

[ff7walkthru]

@daniel0731ex Ben Collins

[TheSSpeed]

@ff7walkthru It WAS Ben Collins................

[feeneyson900]

schumacher is a class act

[Zelfontial]

actually the stig is ben collins..

[TheSSpeed]

@Zelfontial I didn't upload this video to show who's the stig. We all know Ben Collins got fired......so...... he's not the stig anymore.

[Zelfontial]

@TheSSpeed why did ben collins got fired..? actually i don't really update myself about the stig..

[TheSSpeed]

@Zelfontial People have mentioned this a lot in comments, and so did I. He got fired because he mentioned his name in.... I'm not actually sure, but I think in a book. so Top Gear fire him for reveling his actual name. after that Top Gear had few episodes afterwards that didn't have a power lap of the reviewed car in the episode because they didn't have a stig.
