Schumacher made his debut for Jordan Ford at Spa in 1991, then straight after was poached by Flavio Briatorie and Benetton. His first Grand Prix Victory came at the 1992 Belgium Grand Prix in the Benetton B192.
@@Athrun82 Oh I basically fell in love with Benetton because of the B190, honestly it's hard to choose which is better, but if I had to pick one only, I would go for 191-06
l was lucky enough in 1992 to be shown the 1992 Benetton car, in person, by Michael Schumacher himself! He was very patient explaining the various features of the car to me with his broken English and my rudimentary German. What an absolutely lovely person!
Have had the pleasure of meeting Steve through the building trade and have seen this car in person. As a huge F1 fan my jaw was literally on the floor when I walked into his garage!
Great era for F1. Schumacher was on another planet. I was at Spa for his first F1 drive. And was back at Spa for his first win. I also watched him race the Mercedes in the endurance races. One wet Le Mans every time he came out of the car the lap times just shot up. How many hours he finished up driving I don't remember but just watching you knew he was in the car. So much quicker. A friend of mine was a car designer working for Tom Walkinshaw. He was telling me he was taken on some laps around I think Silverstone in some saloon car. First with Brundle who he said was pushing on a bit and trying to impress. Then with Schumacher which he described as a fast Sunday drive. Schumacher was actually faster just no effort. There have been a lot of F1 drivers. But only a handful of truly gifted. Schumacher is one of the best ever. Maybe even the best.
Senna was by a country mile the best,Cheated by Prost for his first formula one win ,by Prost who was screaming for the race to be stopped as it was raining and senna was catching him rather quickly, he got his revenge further on in his career,people saw his potential in that race,And the race was on to secure his services. Senna hands down was the man .
I think saw this car run at the Goodwood FoS in 2010 and it unfortunately had an off and suffered some front end damage... not that he would like to be reminded of that if it was this car! Great content once again, keep up the good work 👍
I went to donington park years ago and this car was doing some demonstration laps at a ferrari day strangely and we missed it because of a flat tyre on our car. My son the only 5 years old cried all day because he missed seeing Michael's F1 car, I would give anything to be able to take him and show him this car just to see his face light up🙏. Yet again the late brake show smashed any other channel out of the park 👏😉👍
Great stuff again Johnny. It's good to see a man who earned his money spend it wisely, and very tastefully! None of those born-into-wealth obscene Bentleys or tacky pink Lambos.
It's tremendously interesting to hear a 1993 car is consider one of the last Grand Prix cars to be simple enough to be run by a private owner, whereas us F1 fans often regard this cars as overly complex compared to younger cars!
Wow just wow. I'm Ex Ford of 30 years I had stickers of this car in my locker (still there today) to hear that mighty engine run...fantastic the whole reason I fell in love with F1. Thank you Johnny for this video brilliant. 👍👏👏👏👏
What I love about this presenter is how humble he sounds - that is - his awe and passion for cars outshines his urge to express how awesome he feels for having the privilege of being mixed with a bit of pride. It reminds me of Jay Leno.
That era, '91 to '97, to me is just the pinnacle of F1. I became an ardent Schumi then. Just seeing and hearing those cars gave me goosebumps and took me back to my early 20s, glued to the TV every fortnight. Thx Jonny, U R a legend. BTW the Bennetons in that colour scheme were the argubaly the best looking F1 cars of the time, perhaps ever.
Strewth! Very impressive stuff, and it’s great that the car is fully functional. I’ve seen other people who have F1 cars in their garage but minus the drivetrain which seems slightly pointless to me. An enjoyable episode!
That sounds a bit like the same crowd that has an F1 Ferrari engine under a glass plate in the living room as a coffee table. Different tastes... (and different wallets!!)
You do realise that pieces of these cars are worth millions? The Schumacher car's engine alone would be worth at least £10mil due to it being a 1-of-1 masterpiece of bleeding edge technology. If Steve has one of these cars at 100%, then it's practically priceless.
What a truly down to earth guy, with what has to be, the best man cave car in the world….sorry, cars, in the world……I bet he still pinches himself when he walks in and sees them……👍🇮🇲💪😳
Thank you!!! This F1 car was my childhood.... so many sundays I sat in front of the TV and cheered with Michael Schumacher! Twice even at the Hockenheim Ring. Thank you for this time travel back to a wonderful time! ^^
Respect to Steve. Top man. That's my dream to have an F1 car to tinker with and admire. What a gem and a great garage set up. I always loved that nimble V8 Benetton. Never sell either of them!
Hi Great video I had the Suzuki GT 250 Ram 1975 Loved the bike I'm now 62years old Wish I still had it But very happy with my 1999 YZF R1 Yamaha 🤗👍 Love shuies Benetton
That fire up was truly moving to watch and hear, all hard work, money and time for those seconds of joy. Absolutely beautiful and such a portrayal of this magic that is cars, and the love for them. Thank you Jonny!
It is a good thing people are willing to put enormous amounts of love time and money in these historic cars. i hope we can enjoy these machines for a long time to come. respect!
Steve is a great bloke I was lucky enough to meet him several years ago through work, his knowledge is spot on and what a man cave great to hear the car running
Great episode!! For what it's worth, the Suzuki GT750 was known here in Australia as the Water Bottle. I can't think of a bike that has had so many regional nicknames!
Another great episode. Looking back at the Benetton F1 Wiki page, and seeing who worked for them. It's almost like the Who's Who of F1. They also had some great drivers. I'm not an F1 fan these days, I stopped watching and following it over 10 years ago now. I don't miss it. But I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.
Along with all the other comments, this is top drawer Johnny! Again! Thank you. You certainly have some great contacts in your little black book :) Looking forward to whatever is next!

Its amazing. Youd expect such a car with the history it has, to be in a museum. But its in a regular guys garage. And he still runs it! Thanks for bringing us this.
There are many of those Cars. The one you see here is just one of them. Its not like Today, where F1 Teams have only 2 existing Cars. Back in the Days they came to the GP with 4 Cars. And Home, stand another 4 Cars. When McLaren tested different Engines and Systems in 1993 there was 11 McLaren F1 Cars on Track at the same time.
@@kallo182 Yep, I remember that. But its still pretty cool, a chassis with such history and pedigree is in some regular dudes garage chillin. And its not just a static display, it still runs. Suffice to say, if you own two running F1 cars, youre not a regular person. But he sort of is, relative to the other wealthy people that can afford to own and operate such cars. :D
My gods what an incredible sound!! Just......WOW! Thank goodness that there are people with the money to aquire such an incredible machine and the madness to run them in anger! What an incredible man and machine!!
I was going to jump to the engine start, but decided to watch from the beginning. And then.... The whole video was gone, just a pleasure to watch, as always.
We used to race with Steve and his son in karts. Lovely guy. Helped us out so much. He invited us around to see his car a few years ago and let my son sit in it.
I'm so happy that Benetton have good owner with good hands and they will enjoy it for a long time to show that beaut, full functionality old F1 cars for next generations.
Fantastic Steve’s a really nice knowledgeable guy Would love to see that Benetton driven in anger again 👌 I don’t go to see F1 anymore since there’s no more V8’s /V10’s or V12’s😢
Massive appreciation to the owner for showing his collection. Genuine passion is so hard to find these days and his daily love for these vehicles allows us the privilege to see them in all of their glory, even if it is only for a brief moment.
The first thing I do is click the like button and then watch My first bike at 16 was a blue GT 125 it was great The 750 in Australia we called them the water bottle Cheers johnie 👍👍
First time I have seen the 193B since 2005 when Steve took me to see it. I didn't know that he had a second 193B and that it had the only engine of its kind in the world. Steve would remember me (Les) as he is a builder since leaving British Telecom in the mid 1980's, and I used to make regular deliveries to him until I had a stroke in 2007.
Jonny, FFS, there are two in the world and he’s got both! unless you’d filmed this we’d never believe it. Thanks once again for bringing this captivating content to us… loving it!
when that MONSTER fired up i had goosebumps over my whole body!! i watched these on tele 10 years old rooting for michael, since im german. holy smokes what a beast
went to Silverstone classic on Friday good to see it on the track and close up in the pits. thanks Steve and of course Jonny BTW was standing next to your mate yesterday Mr Plato at Thruxton
Brings back some memories. I got two tours of the Benetton factories as a kid, first the Witney facility where i got to sit in Piquet's car. That was 1990 i think. Then again late in 1995 at the Enstone factory, just after Schumacher quit. Didn't get to sit in the car that time, but i did get to appreciate how clean and well organised the factory was.
One of my favourite F1 cars, couple of wrong dates in there though, 91 was his race with Jordan and finished the season with Benetton and 92 was his first full season and when he won in Belgium.
The same with the dates for the last cars that could be run without a team. No privateer could run a 1994 car, active suspension would be far to complex. The Benetton was also accused of cheating with their software that year but the most complex car wasn’t the benneton but the Williams.
As a recreational racer of Mercedes-Benz AMGs & an F1 fan I found this video fascinating. It was especially fascinating to see a car driven by Michael Schumacher--the greatest F1 driver in history--fired up.
Awesome to see it running and being driven by the owner. Kudos to Steve and all the owners who get their cars out and to historic meetings. Too many classic race cars are locked away and never seen or heard! I am currently restoring a 1979 Cheetah Mk6 historic Australian Formula 2 car with plans to enter historic events. As also green behind the ears and with the speed differential in Group R (it includes Formula Holden's, F3000's and one owner has 2 1984 Ferrari F1 cars!) I have just bought a logbooked historic Formula Vee to get on the track now.
Johnny, I reluctantly liked and shared this video with my brothers back home in Ireland. The reason for my reluctance? You were mere feet from a Raleigh Chopper and you snubbed it. But seriously, great video. I would've been 15 yrs. old watching Schumacher race that car. What a great era of formula 1. Thank you.
Great interview. Very cool, loved that car and good to see and hear again closeup.. .. even putting just the pit crew shirts make the whole thing seem more authentic.
What a nice cave, I could easily sleep on that mezzanine floor ,all I need is a Tap a power socket and hose pipe,I'd fill a wheelie bin up when I needed a bath and cook on a little hob or use a gas stove, a nice big bag of grass and a fridge full of pop ,that's me happy 🤣👍🇬🇧🙏❤
Hello. what a rarity this f1 brings back a lot of memories from the time I was a child when I watched F1 at that time as an ordinary fan watching on TV it was at this time that great drivers stood out who are no longer alive in my generation. I'm Brazilian but Ayrton Senna is sorely missed in f1 and on screens to finish the race with the national flag and the victory anthem, he could have gone further if he hadn't left so early in that tragic accident in the German tambourine, Schumacher without a doubt he surpassed incredible numbers, Ratzmberger also left the spirit of a great racer and since then I've been following F1 on TV it's very exciting....
Fabulous episode! I can only imagine that brief start up scrubbed useable time off the engine but was otherwise likely good for it to keep the bearings and fluids moving a bit. Loved the proper team clothing and ear defenders too! Every last detail!
What a great SHOW!! congrats... this car is LEGEND.

I screamed when I heard his version of history too
You could have added the bit about how he got the Jordan seat… a few months earlier I was watching Schumacher at Le Mans.

Johnny, I reluctantly liked and shared this video with my brothers back home in Ireland. The reason for my reluctance? You were mere feet from a Raleigh Chopper and you snubbed it.
But seriously, great video. I would've been 15 yrs. old watching Schumacher race that car. What a great era of formula 1. Thank you.
When he started that engine i almost cried. The most beautiful sound that brought back memories.
I especially like the lighted Ferrari logo on the wall!
Awesome!
Great interview. Very cool, loved that car and good to see and hear again closeup.. .. even putting just the pit crew shirts make the whole thing seem more authentic.
Wow. That’s cooler than a penguin in the freezer! Kudos to the skills, patience and dedication of Steve for the restorations and running the F1 cars.
What a nice cave, I could easily sleep on that mezzanine floor ,all I need is a Tap a power socket and hose pipe,I'd fill a wheelie bin up when I needed a bath and cook on a little hob or use a gas stove, a nice big bag of grass and a fridge full of pop ,that's me happy 🤣👍🇬🇧🙏❤
Hello. what a rarity this f1 brings back a lot of memories from the time I was a child when I watched F1 at that time as an ordinary fan watching on TV it was at this time that great drivers stood out who are no longer alive in my generation. I'm Brazilian but Ayrton Senna is sorely missed in f1 and on screens to finish the race with the national flag and the victory anthem, he could have gone further if he hadn't left so early in that tragic accident in the German tambourine, Schumacher
without a doubt he surpassed incredible numbers, Ratzmberger also left the spirit of a great racer and since then I've been following F1 on TV it's very exciting....
That was fantastic!
Gotta love an eccentric English mans shed!! Just brilliant!!
Love the episode thanks Jonny!!👍
Crickey that was amazing, not everyday u find 2 x f1 cars in a man’s cave. Stunning episode.
Steve, what a legend! Well done that man 👏🏻
The sound from that engine is spiritual .
Fabulous episode! I can only imagine that brief start up scrubbed useable time off the engine but was otherwise likely good for it to keep the bearings and fluids moving a bit. Loved the proper team clothing and ear defenders too! Every last detail!
Steve, you are an absolute madlad!
Jonny you nail every car cave episode soooo interesting love it all ! 🏎💨
Official fire up with official team clothing! Just the best 👌🏼
