Why Schumacher can play from behind in Monaco

“We learned a lot and took a lot away from here. Our car was really good, so I’m looking forward to Baku. “

Schumacher admitted that he had gradually increased his speed before the sudden crack caught him and sent him off the track.

“That’s the thing about these cars because we’re so fast. If you take a little more speed into the corner it may be fine the previous lap and you have understeer, and then push a little more. And suddenly the stern goes away, how super fast.

“So it’s about figuring out those fine edges. And of course when you are here you try to improve every turn and improve your lap time every time. And these things are what you have to try and of course these things unfortunately pay off pretty hard here.

“If you make a mistake, it will be pretty hard to pay off. And it will be expensive “

“Until then, I stayed out of anger! I always think Monaco will always have a lively car. And that’s what makes you fast. When you have that twitching rear and when you have that strong front.

“And unfortunately, when you make a mistake, it pays off pretty hard. And it is going to be expensive, not only in value but also in time of persecution. And that’s all something we’re missing now. Fortunately, my confidence is pretty high. I feel good in the car and look forward to tomorrow. “

That’s the magic of technology these days. We can now watch the repetitions of entire sessions and races from each driver’s on-board cameras. A look at Schumacher’s footage for the RP3 reveals that in the prep round before his fall, he was busy making changes to the diff, settings, and so on in response to instructions from the box. It could be that the car just behaved differently from its previous hot round of casino and that got him.

Before he climbed out of the wreck, he was heard commenting on the radio: “I don’t know what to say, I’m very sorry … I’m very, very, very sorry. Jesus!”

It was a sign of what a polite young man he is and that he is a good team player, aware of the work he has just done for his crew, not to mention the cost.
