If you weren't one of those in awe of Michael Schumacher's qualifying lap in Canada a few weeks ago, then this thread probably isn't for you.

If you were (and you damn well should be!), then here's a chance firstly to watch it again, and secondly to study both in real time and in slo-mo Michael's uncanny ability to carry an outrageous amount of speed towards the apex of a corner. I'm talking mainly about turn six - where his unique style of turning in very early with bags of speed is most evident.

I remember watching him entering this corner and thinking 'no way is he going to keep this on the road', because in theory, with the speed and trajectory of his car as it was heading towards the apex, you'd have expected him to run ridiculously wide on the exit. But having done a bit of research into Schuey's style, it's obvious even after my years of fanship that I had underestimated his skill on the brakes.

He locks up his front left tyre, a perfect example of his technique of transferring momentum to the rear of the car by way of lift-off oversteer... releasing the brakes after a small lock-up and using the resulting pivot effect to slide the rear of the car around and point the front end towards the exit, while retaining forward momentum by skilfully blending in the throttle (the fractional delay in the traction control means this is still possible, but take the TC away, and his style would be even more beneficial to him).

Anyway I'm sure most of you know this already, but it's not often you get a good piece of footage to demonstrate it...

Watch for turn 6, just after the 1st sector ends

Locking a tyre is not, of course, his ideal way of doing it... it's his way of dealing with a car that isn't working as well as he'd like. As Brundle points out afterwards, he outdrove the car on that lap. This year we're seeing the aggressive Michael that we saw pre-2001 when his cars, on the whole, were not all that good. Vintage Schumacher, in other words.
