F1 Suzuka 2006 Schumacher engine blow (Speed TV)

[aryatololHTF]

Alain Prost with Ferrari missed the world championship Title in here... So was with Schumacher...

[Diablotindechap4]

@Eldarion92 and without Jerez 1997, he would be a 9 time champion, and without his crash in 1999, he would be a 10 time champion, and if he had driving for Ferrari in 2007 one year more, he would be a 11 time champion, instead of Kimi ...

[keytek9]

could been 8 not 7

[VWatch07]

Back in the time where the engines still blew up.. oh wait, they still do!

[Legendkiller1991]

This ruiend my life till he came back this year...

[supercas46]

I remember on on English TV they went to an ad break just as the smoke came into view.

[MegaJamie93]

@supercas46 I looked at the race report in an F1 magazine and it said that ITV went to commercials 0.5 seconds before Michael's engine blew up.

[supercas46]

@MegaJamie93 Thats right, if you pause this video at about 4 seconds thats where they went for a break. I saw smoke and didn't know if it was Schumacher or a backmarker, I spent the ad break hoping it was Schumacher as I'm not a fan myself and when they came back so it was him.

[didickcheeseburger]

...and this is why he only has 7 wdc and alonso has 2

[keytek9]

@didickcheeseburger i dont get ur point kiddo

[didickcheeseburger]

@keytek9 thats what im saying to you

[Foxx1981]

Worst day of the year for me.

[Merc140497]

Lol @ at the Speed commentators!

[kwirk882]

alonso the luckiest bastard in 2006 and probably in 2010

[deivizbecan]

@kwirk882 HAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

¡JODETE!

[LarryStudios]

I remember this! It was the worst race of F1 I have ever seen because I was so sad when Schumi's engine blew.....

[regismo]

(Sorry for my average english)

Don't forget Alonso had a broke engine in Monza and a wheel problem in Hungary. 14 or 16 pts lost. Schumi loose 15 pts Japan/Brasil. It's approximatly the same thing.

Difference ? Schumacher mistakes, i'm sorry. In the wall at Melbourne, his bad move in Monaco, cost him 2nd place on the grid, and to not change tires in Hungary, you can see the result with his suspension.

Schumi had a great career. But in 2006 (I repeat, IN 2006) Alonso was the best.

[migtnt]

Fernando es el mejor. Grande Alonso.

Avanti.

Fernando is the best, and faster than everyone.

[BoyCharlieN1]

Sorry the hard reality , Alonso ever better than Shumacher back present & Future.

[Hindriux]

@BoyCharlieN1 Back? You mean 4 years? Get real.

Also, Alonso's a cry-baby. I doubt he'll ever become a champion again.

[BoyCharlieN1]

@Hindriux

I don´t need tell you nothing about your point of view, you are free as you want, but the reality is painful...

TODAY ALONSO IS 1º IN F1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You know :).

I don´t care your opinion.

[mambo2377]

@BoyCharlieN1

but Today AlonZo is Second, sorry guy...

[poussyledzep]

alonso won the title because schumacher broke his engine not more

Schumacher would be 8 times champion,

Alonso didn't deserve his title the cheater.

[FrenchiKO]

@poussyledzep Excuse me but the biggest cheater in F1 is Schumacher.

Alonso is too impulsive but its not a cheater. Alonso > Schumacher

[tazuna01]

@FrenchiKO

no ofc hes not a cheater he didnt know anything about the Crash of Piquet and he was clearly faster than Massa....

please wake up ?

[Py7Val]

A great day for Alonso

[thoms9]

it was fair that Alonso could win the cchip, schumi had a far faster car at the end of the year.

[09173286832]

schumi should be 8 times championship

[kobe24ntc]

alonso little bitch 

[marcrichiger]

hahaha...lol

[loquetukieras]

@Eldarion92 that is racing, if Alonso hadn't had the same problem in Monza and that wheel incident in Hungary...

[jdsf28]

This is what he deserved, after so many years of having a reliable car. That year Alonso had a blown engine a few races before, so they were in equal terms after this well deserved blown engine to the dirtiest driver ever.

[dogboyzz]

alonso blow up in monza and michael in suzuki...They were even

[dirtyjoeclown]

2006 was bad...... i wanted france to win the football wc...... they enter as underdogs and lose the finals after italy play dirty mind games with zidane........ schumi comes out of nowhere to hunt down alonso and this happens....... of all those races that michael won in 2002 and 2004, why didn't he have an engine blow? why did it have to be here at suzuka when it mattered most!!!

[aieljose]

shumi is the real 2006 world champion.

[Sheraad190]

@Eldarion92 Alonso lost a wheel in Hungary while leading and one engine in Monza in 3rd place.

After China Alonso and Schumacher tied points 116.

Without engine blow it would be: Schumacher 126, Alonso 124.

After Brazil: Alonso 132, Schumacher 131.

So Alonso was the true champion in 2006.

Without Alonso's problems Alonso would have a score of 150+ pionts. He lost 10 points in Hungary and 6 in Monza

[carsismeZ06]

I remember seeing this as a kid. I was about to cry. It's funny because I used to hate Alonso because he was Schumi's rival, but now Alonso is racing for Ferrari.

[sophie0607]

OMG I remember crying like an idiot when this happened...My poor Michael. But he acted like a great champion after that, unlike Alonso who blamed his team for his engine breakdown a couple of races before. That shows the big difference between the two of them. Schumi forever!

[TuneViper]

i guess it made it more even after alonso had his engine blown aswell .. schumacher fans say he would have won without his bad luck .. what about alonso's bad luck?

[martynhenrystyles]

y r they fixated on the wave!

[DANMAN881]

Foxtrott, Uniform, Charly, Kilo ;-)

[Ferrariman601]

I was absolutely devastated when I saw that innocent puff of blue smoke.

[scarybasilisk]

@Ferrariman601 Yep, me too. I crashed on the floor. Worst moment of the season. The 8th win was so close. But now its close again :)

[Ferraristaaa]

Dont fucking laugh with the greatest driver u fucking prick laugh at your mom asshole

[Schumi1224]

i think if michaels engine wouldn't have blown he would have won and HE would be the one to take the lead in the championship by two points, and all he would have to do is at least finish ahead of alonso in interlagos. he had some bad luck at the end of 06 which did cost him the chance of winning the title from alonso. i was watching this race at midnight when i saw this happened and i was gutted too.

[Killerkarpfen1990]

What? Michael and Alonso had the same points before this race. Michael had one more vicotry so he was Championship leader before this race. Alonso won, went up by 10 and so the only chance Michael had was winning and Alonso with 0 points. Then he would have been WC by one win. That's how it was...

[F1guy1]

for the first time in 16 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KimiHamilton123]

@hteitm No 1 its the facts of what u said.

[KimiHamilton123]

@hteitm I think Ur kinda wrong ever heard of the may weekend at imola.

[madowl85]

I dunno, I think Imola 1994 probably ranks higher...

[DnylF1]

F'ing idiot commentators they should die in HELL!!! I will laugh at you in your funeral!

[209PH]

Lol you're the retarded idiot. Alonso finished the season with 134 points. If Schumacher's engine hadn't failed, Alonso would have scored 2 less in Japan and ended the season with 132. Schumacher ended the season with 121 points. If his engine hadn't failed he would have scored 10 more points, ending the season with 131. If the engine hadn't failed Alonso would have had 132 points to Schumacher's 131. You are a retard.

[EdwardTINY]

@209PH Yeah but alonso had a engine failure in moza 2 race before this. So it was really unfair for schumacher to win title. It was a payback for alonso as schumi had also an engine failure in japan. Which I believe it would happent. It must. I was so glad cos schumacher are a fucking cheater idot!! and Alonso is the best. What r sugest in MSC would had 131 and Alonso 132. If it wasnt for engine failure in monza he would get another 6 point which really stat would be 131 vs 138 sound much better

[hamiltonbobo]

jajajajajajajajajajajaja!

sorry but this is the best moment in F1!!!

jajajajajajajajajajajaja!

que se joda Schumacher!

...y que os jodan a todos!

...y este año Alonso con un Ferrari!

Hamilton preparate el ojete!

Que os den ingleses tramposos!!

[irizit]

wtf he laught ???

[TheDRANALYSIS111]

When Alonso is going to retire from Formula One, his impact upon the sport will be acknoledged with a small footnote in the history books of Grand Prix racing, while MSC's profound records will be there for GENERATIONS TO COME: Welcome to REALITY, my envy and jealousy-inspired princes of MEDIOCRITY. Alonso even lost a rookie teammate at McLaren in 2007.....Perhaps Alonso will qualify for the title "Campeon de los triple hijos de puta" because he is the ONLY "hijo de puta" in F1....

[TheDRANALYSIS111]

Schumi was not defeated by Alonso,but rather by technical defects, WHILE CLEARLY in the lead and AHEAD OF THAT MEDIOCRE ALONSO(SUZ). That desaster was compounded by the fuel problem Schumi encountered in qualifying at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Schumi drove circles around the entire competition in Brazil, driving the fastest race lap (about 3/4 sec faster than the fastest race lap of race winner F. Massa), and would have clearly won his 8th title. In 2006 he was also voted DRIVER OF THE YEAR!!!!

[Ikeraldai]

alonso tambien rompio el motor en Monza...

por tanto.... alonso no gano el campeonato porque se le rompio el motor a schumi...

[virusmiradaspeed]

justice divina

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Quite unbelievable!

Last race at Monza we saw the first Alonso engine breakdown since 2003 or something like that!?

And here - the race after - Schumacher has an engine failure witch I believe was even longer ago than Alonso!

But is must have felt even worse for Alonso, having his failure at Monza of all places, and being laughed at by 100.000 tifosi!

Anyway: a great close battle between two great drivers and two great teams...that what we all want to see!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

i think schumacher's last engine failure before this was hockenheim 2001, correct me if i'm wrong...

[209PH]

No it didn't cost him the title. Do the maths. With the failure Schumacher lost 10 points and Alonso gained 2, so a net difference of 12. Alonso won the title by 13 points. So he would have still won by a point if the failure hadn't happened.

[Foxx1981]

You expect an American and an americanised brit to be professional?

The speed commentators are among the worst and most incompetent I have ever listened to.

[RACEFAN2448]

OY!! The SPEED announcers are dam funny. Better than ITV.

[elemineseslapolla]

damn the water evaporated like in a half second =S

[KosmoPro]

pobre schumacher :/

[loquetukieras]

what about Alonso's engine blowing in Monza (after he was unfairly penalized in the grid), and the wheel in Hungary due to his mechanic.

[Pablito1512]

Well yes you are sure. With this, Shumacher gave away the 2006 tittle.

[CC7AlBeR7eNCiA]

solo asi gana alonshow amparandose en las desgracias ajenas como en 2005 FORZA SCHUMI and FERRARI

[Holneger]

hahahaha i remember that moment like it was yesterday...i was lmao hahahahahahaha

[hamiltonbobo]

Uno de los mejores momentos que nos ha podido dar la F1! ....yo haciendome un porrito ya dandolo todo por perdido... y derrepente esto! ...uno de los mejores porros que he fumado en mi vida!...vaya si merecio la pena madrugar! i will never forget this moment! hahahahahaha

[Ho1nT02]

These Speed commentaries sounds like they were happy about it.

[portugalfan10]

yes you are right shumi is a fucking idiot hahaha as you are

[portugalfan10]

of course its funny hahahah

[Slovakracer]

you fucking idiot

[MrJogz]

That was a very sad moment in my life : (

[EdwardTINY]

@MrJogz Yeah fuck schumacher!!!

[sztano]

i was laughing

[VilleDevil]

I had my phone in my hand when this happend and I threw it right into the wall in anger :p

[pitmie]

When that happened, I stood up for 10 minutes in disbelief..coz Michael's Ferrari was normally very reliable, & to witness that his car's mechanical failure happened at one of the most crucial moment like that..& the fact that his last engine failure happened after 58 races without any major mechanical gremlins.

[journeystarr]

I remember this very well!

[wgccpht]

I remember seeing this live from my dorm room with my friends. This engine essentially failure cost him the championship. Ah well, I actually like Fernando Alonso lots more now than I did back then. I didn't want him to win back then, but he's a deserving world champion.

[Tomasch]

I was crying....

[crazykillaishere]

So was I

[AlanMcB]

Haha the first time since Magny Cours 2000 actually.

[COBHCsnake]

excelente video

[f18mf]

I don't know what is funny to the commentator???!!!

[matt9339]

american commentators sound weird lol. do americans even follow F1 lol

[JoshuaKill]

Varsha would eat your children...

[visual9876]

if they were better than him they have 8 WC :P

he is the best no doubt about it

[Siniset]

Btw, If Michael had won this race with Fernando 2nd and Brazilian GP had happened as it happened, Alonso would have won the championship by a point.

[OraRacing]

well, but there might have been some teamorders with Felipe Massa (maybe to slow them all down, Michael would have been able to pass them, because of superior top-speed) come into play.

[bonkers1990]

Why are they laughing? I don't understand. This was just sad. This is not the way a championchip should be decided

[alinasser4]

ok

people who are saying lonso i a dicked for waving or that micheal deserved the wave because hewas a cheat

SHUT THE FUCK UP

alonso waved bcause he finally had some good luck go his way, not to give micheal shit

alonso said that himself

[FRFM00]

Schumacher staying on the racing line hoping Fernando would catch some oil.

Evil to the end.

[woot123sexyparty]

Fernando gives Schumacher a wave as he goes past.

Classless continuing.

[Nintend0nepiece]

Ronaldo

[hunteradr]

alonso son of a bitch, make voodoo for m. schumacher.

[FatPizza56]

Bravo Fernando Bravo Bravo

Best wave ever :D:D:D

Schumacher is a cheat and fraud

[Schumi1224]

I'm beginning to think that some smartass decided to sabotage Schumachers engine overnight! But just bad luck, i was watching it at home in my room and was just shocked at what happened! But it's not Schumacher's fault, Schumacher just had a stroke of bad luck that cost him the Championship. But i'll always remember Schumacher as a hero!

[Oasisf1]

Yes, a stroke of bad luck. When you park your car in monaco you lose points and you lose championships. All credit to him, he was a great champion but alonso deserved to win.

[EdwardTINY]

@Schumi1224 Well som smartass also decide to sabotage alonso engine overnight in monza!!! What about that!!!! It was a payback for alonso. I was so fucking happy that schumi breakup cos he is a fucking bastard!!!!!!!

[msumbe12]

lazerpod66- You definetly have a problem with yourself

[lazerpod66]

Another Schumacher careless cheat. He stayed on the line instead of pulling left, good riddance.

[lucianoestivill]

Schumacher blow engine or "how to retire after blocking the line, dropping oil on it and lower speed of his car going out of a curve with a title contender just behind" ROFL.....

[Killerkarpfen1990]

Now you have some problems...

[lazerpod66]

Stop being jealous and admit to the evidence of his behiavor.

[Killerkarpfen1990]

What evidence? What would you think if your engine blows up and you know that your chance to win the title is gone? My god he was frustrated in this moment. Why should he block Alonso on purpose? For what? 16 Laps to go! It redicolous to say he wanted to cheat. Schumacher wasn't a clean driver at all but from anything you haters try to make it look like a cheat, this cleally is the most stupid one. Jerez was one, Monaco was one. But this? Come on he just didn't care there and why should he?

[lazerpod66]

Frustraded, me might have been, no doubt, but if he cheated as badly as Monaco, he could have stooped as low or even lower...like you said, he had nothing to lose, who cares if Alonso goes off on his oil...Cmon, when your engine packs up, you know that the oil is dropping, so if you are a top professional, you move out of the track, cmon man, don't make an ass.

[SebVettel18]

Pulling off right at the exit of the 2nd degner wouldn't exactly be the smartest thing to do if your car broke ;)

[Anime998877]

You never give up do you???

FFS give the guy a fucking break!

[dogboyzz]

alonso break in monza too...not luck

[motikosi]

最悪

[se7en00110111]

I don't get all the crap Alonso gets for being lucky. I mean, Mika Hakkinen won in '99 when Schumacher was injured for nearly half the season and no one seems to give him shit for it.

[wilko13]

Gutting!!! Remember ITV took a break just as it happened! Schumacher was the greatest :)

[peeses6]

Just bad luck. Sometimes these things happen even for Ferrari.

[turbostar420]

i would like to put my hands on the motherfucker hobbs,biased piece of shit,lurid scambag,i was wacthin the race that day,and still remember hoobs irony about ferrari and only ferrari,because speed tv it's owned by lurid biased british.oh god please god i beg thou,let me find hobbs on my way.......

[darokka1994]

kill the laughing moderator

Alons sucks!°!!!!

SCHUMI 4-life

[eriknaa]

I Did cry, I couldent belive what Happend.

Michael have driven fantastic in the last half of the season and was finalley leading the hampionship.

And had the title in his bag. it was just soo unfortuante.

Michael the real champion of 2006.

[motu34]

They're not the British commentators. The British commentators (who are massively Hamilton biased) were Martin Brundle and James Allen. These are the commentators for Speed TV, the channel that shows F1 in America.

For the record, it's Bob Varsha, former British racer British Hobbs and former F1 mechanic Steve Matchett. Personally, I prefer them a heap more than the British ITV crew, they're just so much more informative and less biased.

[nit85head]

are you stupid ? of course they will be biased toward Lewis, British commentators will focus on the British drivers!, you going to tell me that in spain that the commentators over there don't go nuts of alonso? Italy ferrari? Poland Kubica?

[motu34]

Oh this I realise. Problem is they don't just commentate in England - the ITV/BBC is shown in other countries like Australia. Because they've got a worldwide audience, not just a British audience, they should be more balanced.

If in Australia we had Australian commentators constantly saying how great and amazing Mark Webber was, I'd get jack of it pretty quick.

[nit85head]

hold on who fault that?? you can't blame them for that.

Australia could always send there own commentators to the races or have commentators in studio if they can't afford it.

[TruenoandLevin86]

Not to mention they're the best commentators that SPEED has.

[scotsocool]

There not english. They sound more like a bizzare blend of american and australian.

[chosthitter123]

bye bye title arogant alonso which his wave schumi best for ever almost his career finished in top 3 91: he was 14 cause he start half way season 92:3 place 93:4 place 94:1 place 95:1 place 96:3 place 97:2 place 98:2 place 99:5 place because broke his lagg missed 6 races 2000:1 place 2001: 1 place 2002:1 place 2003:1 place 2004:1 place 2005:3 place 2006:2 he is the greatest of all time 91 wins 68 poles no argue about it every one knowes it

[Pompyroftw]

Nice piece of arrogance shown by the lucky Alonso. Schumacher outclassed him at Suzuka 2006.

[serchflores]

MAGIC ALONSO!!!!

[ayrtonaiko]

Us British viewers didn't see this due to our broadcaster ITV cut to adverts (as usual).

[DiegusMaximusMS]

i was about to cry when i saw that smoke coming out of the Ferrari :(

[bojack99]

i did cry

[MSx91]

En mi caso, apenas vi el humo saliendo, apagué el televisor y largué los garabatos a medio mundo. No podia aguantar la rabia...

[skiOurosblOOm]

Yeap...

That's why Schumi didn't get that title... :-(

Greatest driver ever...

Well i i am really not happy to say this but at the moment...

Only Alonso has what a champ must have...

Massa and Hamilton are good but only that...

And Kimi,well he must woke up next season!xD

[Ferraristaaa]

ALWAYS when i see this i got sad :( nobody couldnt stop schumi if the engine wouldnt blew up i love you SCHUMI

[mattkhan85]

it hurts alot to see this! i miss schumi.......... wot a world champion. love you schumi.

[trapspeed97]

Alonso is a prick. He is F1's most embarrassing champion.

[mattkhan85]

true

[crazyjack000]

he fucked you up.....

[dr400kmh]

maFIA !!!

[Hamiltoncheater]

yes!!

i like this moment...

[mattkhan85]

NO! this cost the best his 8th world title.......... go learn sum more!

[PITsteeler07]

I remember watching this at 2 in the morning screaming at the TV. What a moment.

[MauriceH95]

Schumacher blows up just before win. Massa blows up before win. Kimi blows up on last few laps in Spain. All from Ferrari.

[r0fflec0pt]

To be fair, lets remember that this was the first engine failure in 4 years for ferrari

[edomaajka21]

yes!!

schaumacher loses this title because he is great cheater

[agostinobuono]

ke cazzo ridevate ero incazzato cm 1 bestia!!!

[alebatte]

Schumacher gay

[mattkhan85]

go fuck yaself!

[rafalgosciu]

Pamiętam ten dzień. A raczej poranek. Później cały dzień chodziłem załamany. Przeżywałem to chyba bardziej niż Schumi

[r0fflec0pt]

Massa was so unlucky at hungary. I thought he was gonna win it. My mum actually said just before it cut to him blowing up "Hes won". I blame her, she jinxed him.

[crbassassin]

hahhaahahahhhaahahahaaa

[schuf1]

Saddest moment for me ever. Schumacher so deserved that Championship.

[r0fflec0pt]

Yeah he worked so hard for it. His last race was brilliant. Copming back from virtually a lap down. Ace driver, he will never be forgotten.

[ciboulette206]

gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­ f*** alonso

[BENDOON23]

sucked in to the cheat

[maxx833]

ke cornuto sto commentatore

[cfc18882000]

Who are these idiot commentators?

There was nothing funny in this moment. Maybe it may be funny when the yanks drive round and round in circles and crash into a wall.

[LukeStanton91]

i think it was more a laugh out of shock that it had happened, lets bear in mind it had been something like since Hockenheim 2001 since Michael had, had a technical failure and lets be honest what happened was a bit of a shock.

[Anime998877]

Actually these commentators are better than ITV because they're not biased towards anyone, unlike James Allen who only likes Lewis.

[r0fflec0pt]

Yeah. ITV are far too 2Pro-lewis" Anyone that has followed F1 for a while, like myself, im sure dont want to just to hear about lewis. Im british, and i want a british driver to do well. But i dont like lewis. His attitude, i just dont like it.

[martinh88]

what about it? that he has confindence in his own abilities?

[Hamiltoncheater]

you are the man..

Because don't liking Ham..

He s cheater

I fucking hate him. Too arrogant. The FIA like him too much, and ITV. Thats all they ever o on about.
