Video of Michael Schumacher driving style/telemetry

This is pretty old and has probably been posted before, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was interesting.

Enjoyable...thanks!

I don't know why, but F1 these days is just boring compared to those days

Great stuff— thanks!

I just got a ride in a 458 Challenge car(with the driver who campaigned it in 2017 Chris Carel) at Autoclub the other day and the brakes were brutally incredible; so much G force particularly on braking that I wasn’t used to, I only could handle two hot laps as a passenger.

These guys can really handle g forces. (Photo by me)

great analysis.

Thanks for that. Still my favorite driver of all time.

It would be interesting to see similar telemetry during a NASCAR event like the Daytona 500...the steering inputs mainly. How often they are on the ragged edge and for how long.

I seem to recall NASCAR doesn't allow telemetry at events, but I don't follow it all that well to know for sure.

I wonder how similar the 2 cars were?
Was the MS car loose and the Herbert car tight?

The video mentions MS was steady when adding throttle, but also mentions mid turn MS sawing at the wheel.
While Herbert makes less wheel corrections and more throttle corrections mid turn.

Also the braking graph seems to make MS look more like a trail braker and Herbert a threshold braker, at least on that turn.

Andretti said something about it's not how you hit the brakes but how you release the brakes.
I'm no MS but I do enjoy left foot trail braking and some counter steering rotation mid turn.
