Imagine being the brother of a 7 time f1 world champion.
Well Ralf Schumacher was that unlucky guy.
But was he actually as quick as his brother?

On his day Ralf was a beast
Gay
@@waltherwei1896 That too😄
Don't think so... He beat only old Hill in 98' (qual 10:6, pts 14-20), unlucky Zanardi in 99' (qual 11-5, pts 35-0) and rookie Button in 2000' (qual 11-6, pts 24-12). Was beaten by young Fisico in 97' (qual 7-10, pts 13-20), by stormy Monty (qual 31-30, pts 173-221) and by Trulli (qual 15-37, pts 70-66). As far as I remember his salary in all teams was 2/3 times larger than teammates had...
@@sambell_101st6 That's the thing, he was wildly inconsistent but when he won he won in style
@@swampthing94 yes, he was one of the best on his day, but he wasn't consistent enough. His large wasn't warranted given he'd look like Micheal shumacher 2nd coming 2 races a season, and distinctly average every other race
Such a talented family
Hopefully mick gets another chance in f1
Mega underrated. Mighty fast on his day. Michael is the greatest, obviously Ralf can’t avoid being compared to his brother but he too can be proud of what he achieved in Formula One.
He is my only favorite driver in F1. In my opinion he is heavily underrated. I watched him since joining Williams in 2000 until his last season in 2007. I know what I saw in him: pure passion & devotion. To answer your question at the end, I would say a big yes, he could've won not once, but maybe 2 or 3 times the championship with that amazing Williams BMW. He was fast. It was just bad luck that the car had reliability problems at the beginning, after that I remember the darkest day of them all in Indianapolis 2004 when he crashed so bad because of a car problem & I remember his legs got stuck into the car. After that horrible episode he kept the flame alive, but sadly with Toyota he couldn't get higher than some podiums, that car was as you said way too underpowered and not reliable at all. Still, after he retired, I was pleased with his performance on Toyota. I am so sad to hear now that he had a tiny chance to make history with RedBull, I stopped caring about F1 after he retired, I have no means to disrespect Vettel, he is a legend & a very humble & kind person, but I can't stop thinking how Ralf had handled those seasons at RedBull. You can say anything about Ralf, but for me, he represents The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be. I wish I meet him one day and have a talk, everyone knows how hard is for him now because of his brother's accident, wishing all his family good health & happiness. Thank you very much for this video, it reminded me of my F1 hero, the one & only Ralf Schumacher :)
It was a Michelin tyre fault
WELL SAID! My favourite driver of all time as well. A rare pick indeed but glad there are others out there who agree how awesome he was to watch.
🤣 this aged perfectly
I liked the stats at the end but it would be more interesting to compare him to other drivers through history or just those drivers who drove the whole season while Ralf was driving. Anyone who gets into F1 is an exceptional talent but seeing the average stats would be cool.
Duly noted
Willi Weber, manager of both Schumacher, said in his book that Ralf was quick as hell, and probably wast even faster than Michael on pure speed. The difference between them was that Michael was very competitive, he used every time 100% of everything he had to try to win (sometimes overtaking the limits...), while Ralf was too lazy. Probably, it was because Michael had to fight since he was kid to gain everything starting from nowhere, while Ralf, who whas 6 years younger, had the advantage to have an older brother who was a real talent, both in go kart and in feeder series
Nice video!
I think you may have been a little harsh with Alex Zanardi, he was Indycar Champion on slicks, before moving to Williams with the Mecacrome (?) badged Renault engine on grooved tyres, which everyone else had been using for a year already.
Ralf was a good driver, but I don't think that he was good enough on his bad tracks in order to accumulate enough points for a championship challenge, maybe in a Newey Williams, or Red Bull, but we'll never know.
The biggest difference between the Schumachers was Michaels understanding and control of the politics of F1 and internally within the teams he drove for. Added to that Michael was effectively managing Ralfs career alongside his own manager. Michael never wanted a high quality driver who could and would challenge him for the teams number 1 slot, Ralf could have done that purely on skill.
Ralf underperformed against Juan
how? he outqualified him in regular basis. Beat him in one out of 4 seasons (lost the 2002 season because of bad luck). People acting like Ralf was nothing against a talented driver like JPM.
Ralf was my favorite when all the other kids cheered for Michael
Fun fact, Ralf beat Michael in 1997 because he got disqualified
You seem to have forgotten the Winkelhock and Fabi brothers from the 80s who occasionally competed on the same weekends.
Teo and Corrado Fabi never driven in the same weekend, the same apply to the Winkelhock and Brabham brothers
Great video, just one small correction, is Colombia, not Columbia. Cheers
Ralph was good at Williams scoring half a dozen wins... after it went south real fast
That 2005 crash in America really f-d him up. He was never the same after that.
Ralf in Williams and Michael in Ferrari seems like the peak of F1. That's the time I have the fondest memories from
@@gerarduspoppel2831 it started with the heavy crash in Monza 2003
@bsu6814 do you have a link of it? I have been looking for it but can not find it.
@@gerarduspoppel2831 There is no clip. It was during testing before free practice in Monza. He went airborne according to the newspapers. Marc Gene replaced him for that weekend. He was never the same after that. A lot of people forget that he was a title contender during that season at some point.
Yes in the right car!
0:06 Young Toto?
If they would have made that williams reliable i could see montoya or ralf winning a championship yeah
he shoud be 1 team with ferrari team.sure awesome
Not better, but definitely good enough. Better than Damon Hill for sure. In a detuned Jordan still gave posterboy Hill a run and a half for his money in wet conditions
I think Ralf deserved more than Micheal in some cases because Ralf got his star in the team his brother started in it was just that Micheal got the Ferrari Golden boy contract and they are guaranteed a good car every year it was unsure for Ralf it seems like even if Williams were a front runner they are not making road cars to keep up with the main 3 which today might come a problem for Haas Stake and Williams still
No is only one Mike ralph is no closer to him 150% less 😅
Williams secured BMW engines already in 98
F1 is a lottery - you can be the best but if you don't have the best around you, you won't win... and that is the sad thing about Formula 1 - as an individualist, I would like to see driver skills winning races. Refuelling, different tire manufacturers and, with V10 and V8 engines, allowed a great driver, to win races with an intermediate, reliable team.
He was average at best.
Mediocre, got beat by 2nd rate drivers. On the current grid the RB, merc and Ferrari drivers + alonso + Ocon + gasly are better
Ralf beat Button, Montoya and Trulli over at least 1 season. On his day, everyone knows Ralf was super quick.
Trulli beat Alonso in 2004.
@@ciaronsmith4995 he beat jb cuz jb was making lots of rookie errors, ralf is kinda quick but even by tier 2 standards he isn’t the best. No offence bro but U love using alonso in 2004 cuz there’s pretty much no other blemish on his career, it’s clear by ur channel u hate alonso, I understand why cuz he’s twice the driver kimi is and beat him in the same car
@@K0BRAH95 You said he's mediocre. Which Ralf isn't!. You probably didn't even watch F1 98-2003!
@@K0BRAH95 Kimi at his peak was unquestionably quicker than Alonso. Everyone knows this "bro". Alonso got lucky in 2014 because of the circumstances and the fact Kimi was in a car opposite to his driving style, built for Alonso's driving style, given Alonso had been there for 5 years. Cheers.
You cannot win a race and be mediocre by the averages, based on the average F1 driver looking at every driver who has competed, the average driver is not a race winner statistically speaking never mind 6 wins.
