    Why don't we gather all the odd videos, photos and stories of the greatest of all time, and Ferrari legend, Michael Schumacher. Give us something to read and watch instead of the boring, predictable crap that is F1 these days

    I'll start

    How about the race in Spain(?) in the wet where he was absolutely tearing it up from way behind. What year/race was that?
    Would love to see that again.......... and show it around to the current crop of drivers.

    Schumi casually 10 seconds a lap faster than anyone else.

    Let that sink in everyone. 10. Bloody. SECONDS. PER LAP!!!

    He continued this for a couple more laps until he had more than a full MINUTE in hand, and cruised after. Dominance with a capital D.

    When I wrote for the now defunct Makes & Models Magazine, I was asked to write a
    feature on Michael Schumacher's career back around 2001-02.

    This was a huge undertaking as I didn't possess a much first hand detailed knowledge of
    Schumacher's career as I might others, mainly just what I saw on television and read about
    in magazines and online. Even though the research and finding images was hugely time
    consuming, it was a worthy pursuit which I took very seriously.

    As it turned out, the story on Schumacher's career was the longest that ever ran in M&M
    and had two pages of just text (no images) such was the length of the feature, for which I
    was rather unapologetic to the publisher, George Csanadi.

    At an event organized by George to promote M&M, I was approached by several Schumacher
    fans expressing appreciation for the article. It was nice to have such a great reaction as
    with the dozens of pieces I've done over the years, none got the reaction this one did.

    This thread is a great notion. Keep it going!

    Brilliant - brought back such memories. I can't believe Martin Brundell was commentating in the mid 90's I had forgotten he had started so long ago.

    Yeah, he came straight over when he hung his helmet, took a while to get used to him correcting Murray walker, but has proved a good guy, if a little biased up until this year.

    Barton, are you able to post up your article, I'd love to read it, as undoubtedly would others here

    Blundell had a spell too, around the same time as brundle started, but seem to remember he wasn't taken with f1 when they moved from itv to BBC, or vice versa

    I was blessed to be in the Ferrari garage and paddock for three days at the F1 race in Montreal. Here's a pic of my wife and friend's checking out Schumie's car (Michael was in the garage, talking to Ross B at the time). [​IMG]

    Awesome.

    I was at Monza when schumi announced his retirement, absolutely stunned, even though we knew it would happen, and the whole place was eerily subdued. Managed to get Ross brawn to sign my passes while we were in the hospitality suite as it was such a momentous occassion. The plane home was almost surreal with so many tifosi trying to contemplate exactly what we would do without the Red Baron in our car

    I am fortunate to have two Finali Mondiali caps from this weekend signed by Michael, which I bought off one of the marshals there that weekend.
