Michael Schumacher

Funnily enough, I always used to ask the same thing to my dad.

I think it was 2002 and 2004 when Michael Schumacher wrapped up the title so early.

I was like, why doesn't he just take the rest of the year off? My dad was like, well, you're not hardwired like that.

You're a racing driver.

But guys, this has happened a lot of times in the past.

There have been many drivers that Michael Schumacher has also beat because their teams are not doing that well.

Can you...

Does that make him any less of a champion? No.

The first retirement was always on lap seven at each of those races.

Is that an ode to Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, who have been first lap seven-time world champions? Also, safety car may not be so much because in the last nine races in Austin, there have been just 11 races of Bernd Meylander driving the safety car on track.

So strategy, since Manasvi was asking as well, could well be down to running a very regular race without interruptions.

On that note, Somil, predictions.

oh that's right because yeah with max in um 2020 was it two or three where he was like he'd won it by the midpoint yeah

yeah so that was max to max you also had Schumacher to Schumacher in like 03 04 and stuff like that

yeah

where he won it in he won it in France oh god he won it in France because Kimi Räikkönen hit some oil and missed out on his first win oh I was not happy that day

no you were not

no um but yeah that's it's another thing that's calling back to the 90s and we're getting fewer and fewer thing like records from the 90s that are disappearing because we're old and we've been watching it for that long but it's it's another little thing gone i'm like no another one gone um Are you disappointed in the Lando years after Zac Brown said, you've had Senna, you've had Schumacher, you've had Hamilton, welcome to the Lando era? Are you sad to see the Lando era gone after nine months?

Now, listeners to this podcast might not know this about you, but you're not really a huge fan of superhero films, are you?

No, I'm not, no.

oh that's right because yeah with max in um 2020 was it two or three where he was like he'd won it by the midpoint yeah

yeah so that was max to max you also had Schumacher to Schumacher in like 03 04 and stuff like that

yeah

No, I'm not, no.

Muhammad Ali was the guy.

Michael was the guy in all his sports.

In all his sports, Shohei Itani kind of is the guy.

But who do you think isn't the guy right now but has the potential to be the guy?

He was going to be the number one driver, and then Kimmy just absolutely blew him away.

Yeah.

So, yeah, but that's that's who I think is the next, you know, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, the next guy.

Max, we're stopping in that division.

Again, my dad had said like an offhand comment that he barely remembers.

He's like, he just went, you've walking down the local high street right now, there's a Michael Schumacher level talent.

just walking down the high street but until they get the chance to get in a car and and realize that talent it'll just be unrealized potential and that kind of sat with me I just had this belief that I was good at something and I didn't know what it was I knew it wasn't swimming um And I was pretty sure it wasn't running.

And running wasn't super for hemophiliacs because of the impact nature of it.

... bought a 430, F430.

Bro, why? Oh, this one, ah, this one Michael Schumacher one.

If he no longer here, ah, this car is price going up because now the price is cheap.

It's 370,000 only.
