The legendary Ferrari driver was forced to meekly bring his three-wheeled car back to the pits after colliding with Coulthard in the wet conditions at the 1998 F1 Belgian Grand Prix.

Schumacher infamously confronted Coulthard in one of his🐷 most explosiv𒅌e moments.

Eddie Jordan asked Ralf on the  podcast: “Do you rememꩵber when your brother was about to punch his🦋 head in?”

Ralf replied: ꦜ“I remember I saw the scenery. It is very 💛difficult. There is one part missing who could still talk, or answer, to that.

“It was something very sဣpecial. It could have been very dangerous. Luckily it was wet, in a dry situation it could have been more dangerous.

“At ♌this moment, full of emotion, you see it differently. I think this has happened to all of us who have been in a car, they know it.

“At this time, the t🐼eam owners, the bosses… Flavio with his cap backwards, smoking in the pit. [Eddie Jordan] jumping in the pitlane…

“I thought Formꦡula 1 was much more alive in that time. Emotions were allowed. Iꦿt is part of the history of Formula 1.”

Jordan continued: “DC hid in the motorhome, which was und♈erstandable, with his helme𒁏t on.

“Michael came after me, all of a sudden! In all o🅺f the years where Michael tried to hel⛦p you, he never really became involved.

“Suddenly, h𓃲e had the chance to win that race, he became angry with me. Why was that?”

Ralf said: “He’s my big brothe🌱r and he believed that race belonged to me.

“You remember the radio conversa💜tion? Damon cannot remember all of it!ꦦ It doesn’t matter…

“We ta🍸lked about it after the race. He was kind of my manager, at the time,ඣ you have to say. Without Michael I wouldn’t have been where I was.”

McLaren’s Coulthard promptedꦯ a restart when he spun out of control in the early stages of ඣthe infamous race.

His teamm🌼ate Mika Hakkinen, who was vying for the championship with Ferrari’s Schumacher,𓆉 then crashed out too.

Sch🗹umacher then went into t❀he back of Coulthard, ending both of their races.

Damon Hill refused Eddie Jordan’s team orders to𒅌 let the faster Ralf Schumacher past, and won the race himself.

Coulthard’s side of the story, via , was: “Michael thought this was part oไf a conspiracy to try and help my team-mate Mika.

“It was simply an a🗹🌊ccident. It was just one of those things.

“I would not be being honest to you in acknowledging how great a driver he was, that there were some downsides, in my point of 💙view, of Michaꦺel’s really ‘win at all costs’ approach on the racetrack.

“I have no problem acknowledging that the period I raced was against the man t🍌hat has rewritten the history books. That is the most successful in the history of our sport.

“My understandin✅g of where ܫthe limit was maybe more in line with the rest of the drivers.

“He could be very ruthless, he could be cold, he c🌠ould be distant.

“I think that’s probably what, at that level, yo🧜u need to have to be that successful.”
