Murray Walker talks to Michael Schumacher

[rosun82]

Just can't live without holding a steering wheel: )

[terkmadugga]

If Schumi didn't retire, and drove the same car Kimi and Felipe did, he would definately be 8, possibly 9 times world champion.

[stup33d]

what does his hat say????

[blackvapour]

The only people who think Schum is better, are kids who never watched F1 during Senna's era. Schum has less competition, always the best car, always full team support, and he was a cheater at the end of the day.

[Aledjn]

@blackvapour are you actually saying he cheated to win ....91 grand prix, 7 world championship, 68 pole positions, 76 fastest laps, most wins in a season.... the list goes on

im not disputing the "whos better senna or Schumacher" before anybody says anything

but to call Schumacher a cheater after everything he's achieved is stupid

[uessaloniki]

@blackvapour Don't forget:Schumi dealt with all the competition Senna had to deal with too!Mansel,Hill,Prost,Berger etc...

[manmonkee]

I hated him when he was racing because i was a Damon fan, Missed him when he left and became a fan when he came back.....................I need a head shrink!

[ayrtonsenna2798]

im sick of the arguments ohh senna is this or oh schumis a cheat

fact is stop arguing because they are both

LEGENDS!!!!!! they are both the number one driver

[ayrtonsenna2798]

and if you cant live with that then you dont know f1

[lapse19]

wow Schumi has alot of angry fans!!

[lostwill86]

senna the greatest.. schumacher second.

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 listen... u cant prove that, there both great. we really cant say senna is better. he as twice as many wins as senna too. just saying

[ayrtonsenna2798]

@Ferrari123planb exactly right bro everyone should stop this argument its a load of bull they are both legends

[Ferrari123planb]

@ayrtonsenna2798 there u go someone who's actually open minded

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb i dont need to prove it. shcumi has said that senna is the greatest

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 ok ur lost. its a lot different when someone says it compared to what they can do on the track. how about this. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! so if schumacher says it Senna's automattically better? your retarted. and btw send me a adress to Michael actually saying this.

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb fact is senna influenced his style of driving heavily look at their telemetry and you will see that there is a huge simularity. senna had the worst handling f1 car in history in his last races and still put it on pole. the only reason why shumi is better is he lived longer and dominated with ferrari and i for one would love to see him win again so shhhh

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 your just speaking out of your ass now. say how many championships does schumi have??? 7. if his engine didnt go out in '06 he'd have 8. if he didnt break his leg in 98 or 99 he'd have 9 if he didnt make a little error and ran into hill in '94 he'd have 10. he also has 91 wins. just to let u know about bad cars michael left benneton in 97 to join Ferrari. Ferrari was a bad team and schumacher brought them to the top re-naming them as the greatest team in formula 1 history.

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb why do i even bother you're very unclear about you're facts

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 why do u bother. ur saying the most succesful driver of all time isnt the best. oh wait your probally a typical mclaren fan

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb actually i'm a renault fan and red bull fan. but to be honest after alonso's last performace if he keeps it up he'll win.

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 he's lucky with Ferrari. hmm he has 72 wins with Ferrari right? Barichello has 9 wins with Ferrari buddy.

[forzaazzurino1]

@lostwill86 best comment Ive read here.

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb micheal has been around twice as long. and only has 3 more poles in 10 more years. i dont care to much for statisics. I PERSONALLY prefer senna. but right now i am cheering for micheal. i want him to start wining again.

[Ferrari123planb]

@lostwill86 me 2 :( btw senna was probally a better qualifyer, michael though is probally better racer

[lostwill86]

@Ferrari123planb He was so close today!! hard to know they were both top notch

[rosun82]

@lostwill86 Always a better car? Shut the fuck up you idiot

[lostwill86]

@rosun82 his last 5 titles the ferrari was totally dominant. there are not many lap records that it does not exclusivally hold. between 00-04 ferrari had around 5 failers with micheals car and the same with rubens and the other guy micheals bennatons had traction control. his teammate recently said that micheals car probably retain traction control. my personally preferance is senna. micheals was and still is a fantastic racer and he proved that in 2011.

[patrick2504]

7 times world champion cant be argued with,, I dislike the man but respect his achievements



[drejtim111]

Murray is the voice of F1...I miss him......

[gnark1ll1us]

Isnt Murray also an International icon?

Im not sure how it works, but do the rest of the world get the BBC commentary? He seems to be pretty famous with comments about him on youtube from all over the world.

[Lolzilol123]

@gnark1ll1us There was a time where the commentators from your own country would then "change over" to BBC's commentary. I think that's why - and of course that a lot of F1 fans are brits!

[MrThreshold2009]

@gnark1ll1us The commentary was used globally for coverage in many English speaking countries. I am not sure why (perhaps cost), or if it still is. It certainly was during Walker's time. For instance, Australia had studio pundits but then would pass over to the BBC (or ITV when it was there) commentary team when the race began. Because of this Murray was on an international stage with 300 million people listening, juggling between every nation's advert requirements! He is indeed an icon.

[gnark1ll1us]

@MrThreshold2009 I just wish he would do a guest appearence each year at the Brtish GP. I cant see the harm in it, I mean he retired because he felt he could no longer convey the excitement, but look what we have now. Brundles fine, but I cant even think of the other guys name. Then again people like Murray are thin on the ground these days, being a WW2 tank commander, TT motorcycle racer, advertising executive, and motorsport commentator extraordinaire.

[MrThreshold2009]

@gnark1ll1us The good news there is Jonathan Legard looks set to be dumped by the BBC. The BBC Radio 5 Live team do a great job, David Croft and Anthony Davidson are the commentators. If you can get access to that I'd highly recommend them, although Croft could take Legard's place for 2011 so it would be no longer available.

But it's just not quite the same without Murray.

[G0007]

genius

[hunt2727]

I don´t agree. Montoya was a quite tough guy and a great driver.

Hamilton is a very good driver.

Senna was a very fast driver.

Prost trying to be slow was also a very fast driver.

But Schumacher is the best of all of them, is the best of history, since as a rookie, he managed to beat Senna in an inferior car.

Moreover Schumacher team mates in Beneton did nothing while in Mclaren Senna´s team mates like Berger or Hakkinen were very good in 1992 and 1993

[poussyledzep]

the great schumacher,yes the best of all of them.

[F1guy1]

best racing driver is Senna and even SHUMI agrees!!

[Michaelralte]

@F1guy1

Go post in Senna Vid...Senna never claimed to be the best neither!!!!!

[neil248]

eh?

[malamoozoo]

watch?v=Bu9PVXs8_R0

[newromantic888]

come here Ill take u up Mnt Sarakura. kitakyushu Japan I do it in 35 mins from the cable car . I start at the steep bottom. I welcome u.

[newromantic888]

I do it with a bike..I am am sure Michael will be my match.

[newromantic888]

see Micheal always gives..........thats why are all others are put to shame.

[newromantic888]

how fast is Murray. Obviously he can drive. but how fast is our man Murray.

[newromantic888]

Murray hell and Tommy..........of course the greatest driver ever is going to be fascinating casestudy.

[newromantic888]

Murray u are everything to us. And no Michael is still an international icon. We luv u Murray. Can u comeback at the same time as Michael.

[FRAFPDD]

i thought senna died?

[macpac22]

Roll on Valencia! Forza Schumi!

[trelikardia83]

I miss him so much!!!!

[coldplaywave]

All of Formula 1 fans miss both of them:Murray and Schumi....two legends!

[ay98182]

one of them is coming back ;)

[tubadude07]

I had no idea Murray looked like that...

[coldplaywave]

Don't compare Hamilton with Senna and Schumacher...in our time every man with a great physical condition can win a championship if they have the perfect car,but in Senna's or Schumacher's(before 2000's) period the cars were based firstly on drivers skill.

[brippie]

Right, that's why Damon Hill won the championship back then. It did not have anything to do with the Williams being the superior car.

Still I'll compare Hamilton with Senna and Schumi if he wins 2-3 more championships and passes people left and right on wet circuits. Hamilton is a champion, Senna and Schumacher are legends.

Shit....I've compared them anyways.......

[tubadude07]

Senna and Schumacher don't crash into stationary cars......

[brippie]

@tubadude07 lol

[schumiisking]

hahahaha.

indeed :)

[AyrtonSennaSempre]

Murray Walker for MP!!! LOL!!

Schumi is a living legend make no mistake!

[Tomix24]

Montoya is SHIT.Hamilton is SHIT.ALL of them are SHIT.

SCHUMI 7 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION!!!!

[MrThreshold2009]

@Tomix24 Your bias is moronic and blinds you. Sychophancy is a terrible thing; you should never dismiss others on the basis of your likes.

I happen to think Schumacher is possibly the best ever racing driver, but to dismiss Montoya, Hamilton and the others as "shit" is idiotic. These are the best drivers in the world. Be more impartial, for fucks sake, otherwise you make your argument null and void.

[lealowo]

@Tomix24 maybe all of them= shit but schumacher= cheat

[paddy9i99]

@Tomix24

Hamilton is the world's first ORANGE world champion.

A worthless piece of shit in my opinion.

[1who2what3where4when]

@Tomix24 Thanks to team orders.

[bizasia2009]

" to watt I am going to facing" . Schumacher at 0:34' Past & present tense is a bugger!

"Play 'soccer' at 1:18. He says soccer! What's wrong with him. FUSSBALL. English: football.

Where is this Paris research center today? Or is it just some philantropical bull****. Let's ask  Monsieur Todt. Where is da money ?

Bruce'Baldy-Die' Hard Willis as Walker Murray in the forthcoming Hollywood flick?

I am.going to be watching. Trust me.

john k lindgren

[hell5torm]

na Juan Manuel Fangio was a better driver than schumacher, and for every1 who thinks lewis is shit, he is world champ and dont judge him as he is just starting his f1 career, judge him when he has finished his career, even schumacher thinks he is one of the best talents in the last 30 years

[Erkal2006]

Montoya is is good driver, take his performances in 2003 and the Daytona 24hrs as evidence.

[KartChampion]

24 hours of Daytona? it is a glorified doctor lawyer weekend warrior race.

that race is like clubing baby seals

[ajkundi]

michael schumacher=legand, no other way to put it. people who think lewis hamilton is great are idiots, this man is the greatest, the only one who is near him is senna

[camdened123456]

patsol, think i spelt it wrong, was also close to him

[JeefCakes]

Good questions from Murray.

[papitobsb]

bullshit... Montoya is a fat-ass!

Schumi is the best racing driver of all times!

[Clueso456]

yes

[Monthagny]

Schumi looks pretty ft there....he has put on a fair bit of weight for sure.

[mgarofano]

F1 is a politic power game.When Montoya clearly showed to be better than Schumy the game started,It's very easy to win when you have Barrichell working for you (what a shame),when you have the blu Ferrari(Sauber) working for you (what a shame)and when you have Fia-Judges and Media working for you(disgusting). Schumy was good but give those "facility" to any other good driver and I ensure you that he surely 'll be WC. Montoya had all this "against".So....

[mgarofano]

Watch Monza 2003 hight light just for example and you ll understand that "something"was wrong!!Listen Briatore!!!Baby schumy should learn to walk on his own legs..withouth Barrichello ,Sauber,and Politic..!!Obviously Montoya has been above all this,showing to all the world what is a natural talent driver you can't stop.If people ignore all this is because many of them watch to much television and they usually think following the mainstream.Watch things carefully and probably you ll understand

[mgarofano]

Drivers like Senna ,Montoya, Hakkinen, Mansel,Alonso...or Fangio they always won with honour.They walked " on their own legs" and this is a fact.

With his dirty moves and his declarations Shumy has always clearly showed to be an uncorrect person inside and outside the car.

[FaithHealer1]

I would disagree. Senna made very similar moves to some that Schumi did, but I feel is seen as a bit of a martyr, a John Lennon-style figure. Alonso - Hungary 2007 is a good example of how he bent the rules to as good effect as Schumacher and Senna. Montoya was never as consistently strong in a race as Schumacher, Senna, Hakkenin, Lauda etc. I think Schumacher comes across as a very down-to-earth person, not only here but elsewhere, too. Just what I feel, mind.

[mgarofano]

[mgarofano]

Schumy has been a good driver, surely not the best ,on the other side he surely has been the best cheater together with Ferrari,Sauber,Fia and Judges. Montoya has been wery much better and he has been clearly boycotted by the F1 establishment .........

The best years of Schumy were the firsts years.After he has won cheating and with no honour.Sorry....but this is the truth that he know very well and that every day he face in the mirror.

[mgarofano]

[K4rlind0r]

Oh, come on, Briatore was always such an idiot and he'll never forget, that michael leaves benetton and joined Ferrari. His words a worthless.

Montoya had his good races, but he was never that big. Schumacher was a damn good package and won also in underrated cars. He is one of the best, and there is no doubt about it. Only a hater can say, that michael isn't one of the best drivers formula 1 has ever seen. Is he the best ever? I don't know, but he is one of the best.

[haralddash]

mgarofano u are frustaded too. u know schumacher was so good, because he knows when he is focust on his own, he is the best. and no one can beat him. he doesnt talk anytime bad about other drivers,he always gives them the respect,THAT THEY DESERVE.and that is extactly that way of thinking,which is important for the ultimate greatness.montoya is one this guys,where allways the others are fault when somethin went wrong for him!schumi was sometimes on the limit of legality,sure.but thats just human

[mgarofano]

Schumy has been a good driver, surely not the best ,on the other side he surely has been the best cheater together with Ferrari,Sauber,Fia and Judges. Montoya has been wery much better and he has been clearly boycotted by the F1 establishment .........

[haralddash]

im german so clearly my fav is schumi.i think u have no clue of racing.montoya dont deserves do get namend in a row with schumacher. schumi was a great champion on and off the tracks,like senna,the best drivers of all time. montoya is nothin,because everyone,fan or the men of the FIA,see him acting like a little kid.he crashes so many times into other cars. and everytime the others were fault. he boycotted himself.he was frustraded,because he hasnt the ultimate greatness like schumi and senna

[mgarofano]

[kkcrumbles]

lol dont cry

[mallamoozoo]

watch?v=syuc3TA2uKQ

Brundle says it clearly - Senna number 1 of all time. Schui number 3.

End of Story!

[yasarix]

Who cares about Brundle. In the past, he also said Schumacher is the best. Why now he is changing his decision?

I don't care!

[mallamoozoo]

Bollocks! Brundle never said Schui was better - all we ever here is someone saying Brundle said that - there's never a reference of the actual video cited.

But I CAN and DID cite a video of Brundle saying categorically "Schui is the 3rd best driver of all time but Senna is still the number 1" (and this was end of 2006 - so dont say it was early in Schuis career.)

Even that is generous - I'd put Schui no higher than 5 at best - somewhere closer to 10.

[kkcrumbles]

no he deserves to be on a par with senna. them 2 are my joint first because you cant compare them as they won championships in different eras

[mallamoozoo]

Watch;

"The Greatest 100 Racing Drivers of All Time"

Game Over!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA­HA

[forzzaferrari]

Yeah and Brundle won how many races against Shumi ? End of story !!

[kkcrumbles]

look at the records. it says it all

[mallamoozoo]

Stats don't mean shit - G. Villeneuve 6 wins and 0 titles rated 11 of all-time.

With Schui's cars he would have won more than Schui.

[Welshmonster87]

MIG = Murray is god.

[mallamoozoo]

MURRAY IS A BUFFOON - AND SENILE

[msfranck]

thank for your coms,schumi the best

[frankin235]

Thanks Mr. Walker abaut this great interviw, GOD Bless you and Schumacher!

[raywel2k8]

How come on videos which praise Schumacher brilliant career, all the comments are full of praise for him, but go onto something like what happened at the final round in '94 and all you read is "F***ing cheat schumacher" and stuff like that. Why cant you just leave him alone. Yes he may have had some "moments" but theres no denying that the guy is a living legend, determined off the track and a gentleman off of it and theres no denying it, so if you dont like it, go and slit your wrists.

[imola94]

Such a shame that even though he's not in F1 that he can't drive other make's of car's. Would love to see him try a touring car and have pop at Le Mans.

[gr1mtr00kvlt]

you wouldnt feel so bad for him when you realize how much money he still makes per year, even when retired.

[imola94]

Nothing wrong at all with making money off a truely great talent no matter in waht walk of life or profession.

All I said is is that its a shame the we don't see him in other makes of cars due to his Ferrari contract. I'm sure other company's are lining up to offer him a test or a drive of another racing series/formula.

[raidz06]

schumi and senna were such gentlemen off the track and had a great friendship. You'll never see the likes of that arrogant sod Alonso and that idiot Hamilton getting along for example. F1 these days has too much ego. Theres not enough mutual respect between the drivers and its giving the sport a bad name. there are some like massa who do try.... but even mika and michael who were fierce rivals were at the same time good friends. Sad to see the sport I love the way it is today.

[imola94]

I agree with everything except the Alonso part!

[ekimelyobo]

murray walker is the legend here

[penske13]

aren't they both?

[swieri2003]

Schu is a gent and a liveing legend we wont see the likes for a long long time, and senna was 2, instead of argueing we should be happy that we have seein the best 2 drivers in the world ever in our lifetime a 7 seven times world champion in formula 1 is no joke, or maybe, and you can say its the car but the drivers are the most importand when it comes to makeing the car, its build around them.

[NKourk]

SCHUMASTER

[ohlukwitagoat]

Michael Schumacher is best!!!!

Check out statistics!!!!

The proof of pudding is in the eating!!Read n weep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[telofav]

senna the best

[davidlars99]

Never ever compare the two best drivers again!

[tmurphy83]

SENNA IS THE BEST!! shumy is good but not as......

[fwbraz]

Schumacher = shit!

He celebrated the victory in imola and even smiled on the podium after 2 tragic deaths. Does not deserve the respect of anyone ...

[lookatmerockingout08]

Oi you fucking stupid little prick...listen to me!!

Take a look at the real one and not the sick one some cock sucking bum sniffer made up rright!!

What about Schumi crying after beating seenas record..ahh see tables have turned on you fag for brains

[swieri2003]

very fucking true mate, these dicks no fuck all.

[dienkonig33]

bollocks, he cried after he beat sennas victory record, its on Youtube!!

[lippasenna]

Ferrari's always worked for Schumacher, that's another point for Senna!

[Roxak]

It's an art, to be worth that the team works for you 100%... That's what the most are not capable of doing... nobody is gonna work with all his strenghts for somebody who's not worth it...

[BetterthanSchuey]

Here, Here, Senna rules, this guy Schumalice knows nothing, Austria 2002, question to Schumalice, remember the outrage at Barrichello moving over to let Schuey win and the banning of team orders as a result.

[billabongodrum]

Ferrari did the Austria 2002 thing schumi didn't want to do it

[BetterthanSchuey]

sENNA IS THE GREATEST, HE FOUGHT DRIVERS IN A FAR TOUGHER ERA ESPECIALLY PROST IN THE SAME TEAM, SCHUMACHER HAS NEVER FOUGHT A DRIVER OF EQUAL CALIBRE ON THE SAME TERMS IN THE SAME TEAM. SEVEN TITLES = GOOD STATISTIC = MEANS LITTLE

[Schumalice]

You moron! If Senna was born 10 years later, he would have driven in a less tough ea, but do you think he would have been less good a driver?

And if Schumacher never fought a driver of equal calibre, doesn't that mean he was just the best of his time?

Open your eyes, you onsay Senna was the best because he died during a race. If he was still alive, he'd be as criticized as Schumacher for his dirty tricks on the track

[BetterthanSchuey]

True, but Ferrari was always looking out for Schumacher's title campaign, team orders in 2002 Austria especially, Barrichello wasn't in the same league throughout the seasons with Schuey, it was written into Ruben's contract to play second fiddle to him, curious how Schuey backed out of a confrontation with Raikkonen in 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Schumalice]

1. It was written on Irvine's contract, not on Barrichello's.

2. There have always been team orders in every team, and still nowadays (even in McLaren in Senna's time, open your eyes. The team would almost always give him Prost's settings, etc.)

3. Having the 2 great drivers in the same team is likely to make you lose the title : Hamilton-Alonso, does that remind you of something?

[darfunkel]

Senna was talented and Schumi is too.. but Senna... it's a matter of personality I think, he was loved because he was inspiring. You watch his bio and videos of him talking about his childhood and he sounded so centered, almost sad, as if he was really in a sacred mission or something.. he was inspiring.

[rohan9376]

if there was no team orders they would of finished equal ,but then again schuey just pipped hill 94 95

[lippasenna]

yes you're richt, and when a really good driver like Alonso stood up (considering being mature enough)and fought schumacher for the championship, schumi lost. he was great, but not greater than Senna and others

[leeds1998]

The best ever. Fact.

[schumacherina]

schumi the best...

i miss you...

ich liebe dich!!!

[Spikeuk06]

one thing about the ROC 2007 hekki kovalinen was in it but that year he wasnt a champion that year....

[saroshsoman]

good one....

[schumigirl1956]

marvellous video michael and murray are spot on and correct everything they say.

[FerrariWC2007]

thanks for this, did you know it was his 39th birthday yesterday

[eriknaa]

Michael is soo down to earth and seames as a very Normal Person in that respect.

And of course he still haven`t lost any of his great skills as a Racing Driver!!!

A Great Man, i miss him soo much out on the Track in F1

[cibogin43]

Yes he is so down to earth person. Another nice interview from Michael. I love him & Thanks for posting

[camilianiemi]

i miss this guy!thanks for posting

[Hanajima23]

Thanks a bunch for posting this! It's so nice to see Murray Walker do the interview :). Very touching to see Michael talk about how embarrassed he is when people cheer him up in public. I like the fact that he is a really down-to-earth guy despite all his success and fame.
