Bad luck for Schumi, who retired a couple of laps after one of the Jordans damaged his front right suspension and made the Ferrari difficult to control
Nope, it didn't cost him... You can't start picking and choosing which moments of the year mattered and made the difference when the end result is the accumulation of everything that's happened.. Besides, to say this costed him the championship isn't fair to Villeneuve.. You're hypothetically taking away this incident to have Schumacher be the champion but in that hypothetical- are you taking away an equally-costly mistake from Villeneuve to be at least somewhat fair? Of course not, you like Schumacher so you'll only stick to what it could've been for him- even if absurd.. If I'm playing the hypothetical game, I'd say what costed Schumacher the championship was ramming the wrong part of Villeneuve's car.
It seems his right-rear suspension gave up midway through the second lap, which caused him to almost lose the car under braking several times. His right-front suspension seemed fine, though.
There was a small crease in the RF upper-aft arm from the Turn 1 incident. When he went off again, 2 laps later, the crease got bigger. He may very well have also had a right rear problem too.
Here I am remembering the 97 season very vaguely cuz I was freaking 6 years old during this season. But even I know why they called this the Luxembourg GP back then. They raced at Hockenheim this year as the German GP. You can't have two venues (GP) by the same name. Even when you race in the same country (or track twice). Like what happened in 2021 in Austria. They had the Styrian and Austrian Grand Prix back to back on the same track. Not to mention two years before the 97 season (in 94 and 95) there were TWO races in Japan. One called the Pacific GP and the second the Japanese GP. Pacific GP held at TI Circuit and Japanese GP held at Suzuka. So please. Don't be an ass. The title is 100% correct and not misleading in the name for the season of 97.
Not 100% correct. Here in Germany the name "German GP" is legally protected. Only when the race is organized by the German Automobilclub they are allowed to call it German GP. Thats why the 2020 race on the Nürburgring was called Eiffel GP although there was no other race in Germany that year. Btw the 97 race was also on the Nürburgring. They called it Luxemburg GP because its less than 100 km between Nürburg and the border to Luxemburg.
Schumacher also raced for Luxembourg in a Go Kart race when he was a kid. I believe it was the World Championship and a Luxembourgish license was cheaper than the German one. Given Luxembourg had no Go Kart drivers to participate. So this must've been a bit like a home Grand Prix for Michael too considering the track was still in Germany albeit under the Luxembourg name.
Arie Visker Yeah, but Nurburg is close enough to Luxembourg for it to count as a Luxembourg GP, like how Imola is in Italy but it hosted the San Marino GP
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 but still, How the Fuck is this In Luxembourg, It’s In Germany, It’s Like Calling The Australian Grand Prix The “New Zealand Grand Prix” It’s Not Even In That Country, Plus, New Zealand Has A Fucking Track, Also, Couldn’t They Make A Street Course In Luxembourg Or Even Make A Race Track, they kinda Wasted Lots of Opportunity to Enter Into Luxembourg Without Doing this Crap
@@rehehehehehehehehehe Because in 97 they already HAD a German Grand Prix in Hockenheim. They had to call this race something else. This was the only time that the Luxembourg GP was held in Nürburgring. After 98 it was called the European GP.
Hayden 3210 It was DF1. Germanys first digital pay TV broadcaster. You could switch between different feeds of the broadcast, Supersignal, Cockpit, Pits etc...It was pretty cool for the time. Some 20 years ago. It later merged with "Premiere", Germanys other pay big TV broadcaster, which now is called Sky Deutschland.
Rainer Zufall in the US we were lucky to have ESPN show anything else but the live Grand Prix, which were occasionally preempted by other programming. Qualifying was shown on a taped-delayed basis.
BLITZund DONNER you're WRONG The Michael did the same dirty trick on Jacques which he did on Damon in Adelaide 1994 & got disqualified from championship instead of being gracious. By your logic if he won this race he wouldn't do that in the final race? makes him nothing but a sore loser just like Hamilton did with Rosberg at Abu Dhabi 2016 & Senna did with Prost at Japan. Sore Loser act. You'll never see guys like Alonso run people off the track or deliberately slow down even when losing look at 2010, 2012, 2007, 2006, 2005. That makes a great champion not this bullshit!
Sonus03785 - No, i am not. But keep going, thinking that you have the crystall ball. Oh, and you forgot to mention the biggest loser of all F1 "Champs", Damon "The Wimp" Hill. Man, even Frank Williams and Patrick Head were so annoyed of his persona that they fired him, they even wantet to get rid of him before 1996. If you have some little mental problems with Adelaide, like Damon - you should just listen to a real Champ like Mansell! Adelaide? "Michael did a fantastic Job, when there is a loser, there is a winner, many congratulations Michael". Buhu, what a dirty trick...buhuuu.
Because 2 GPs were not allowed to be called the same. See Imola as GP of San Marino. Or Valencia being the European GP while Barcelona was Spanish. Same for Jerez.

Well, officially, they did call it the Grand Prix of Luxembourg that year because the German Grand Prix was already occupied by the Hockenheimring that year and you're not allowed to assign two Grand Prix to the same country. Same thing with the Grand Prix of San Marino. The track is actually located in Italy, near Bologna, but the Italian Grand Prix is traditionally hosted by Monza
No they don't. They call it the German Grand Prix when there's no other race in Germany. If there is a race on the Hockenheimring, then the race on the Nürburgring is called European Grand Prix. And for whatever reason the Luxemburg Grand Prix in 1997 and 1998.
22 years ago and it seems like yesterday to me ............Man the tears are passing by so quick
Years?
Sadly! But we have the memories, that is the main thing
@@wolfgangvan-uber6515 im yearing up just watching it 🤣
afraid of nothing Shumi ! Unbelievable driver. Love it !
That there cost him the championship.

taaaaaaa vaaiii !!!!!
Inst that the Nurnbergring ??
No, it's the Nürburgring.

0:39 Ralf costing the Michael his 1997 Championship... there would be no "Jerez" if Ralf wasn't over-anxious!
***** back then it was called the GP of Luxembourg, later I think it was GP of Europe, but the track is indeed Nurburgring.
It was only the Luxembourg GP for 1997. Outside of that, it was the European GP.
@@InuKun2008 They raced at the old Hockeinheimring and Nurigburgring that year.
what is that tv channel that let's you do that mate

Double retirement for the Schumachers
RALF,RALF........
Luxemburgo
nurburgring partie sud
This is called karma before it blew into his face two races later.
Without this accident Michael would have been F1-Champ right in 1997. Ralf was always a bitter loser, a backstabber.
Wasn't the fault of Ralf but Fisichella on this one.

Sonu03785 Did you forget Alonso blocking the pit so that his team mate couldn't get a better time? They are all no saints...
Sonu03785 The Renault cars that won the championship in 2005 and 2006 are dubious (Especially in 2006 car) (mass shock absorber and traction system).
i wonder why they called that GP "Luxemburg GP" while it's in Germany lol
Because 2 GPs were not allowed to be called the same. See Imola as GP of San Marino. Or Valencia being the European GP while Barcelona was Spanish. Same for Jerez.
