I was just watching this video and at the end it shows press conference and Schumi is crying.

I never saw that before, what was it about?

dude i think it was the day that his mother died. the only times i remember him crying is when his mother died and when he equaled senna's race wins, and i don't think Mika was around for that...

Just looking at that vid and the duels he had with montoya makes me think im gonna miss that crazy south american maniac.

I was wrong man, it was when he equalled sennas race win record of 41 wins at the italian GP in 2000.

If you look at the table it says Italian GP 2000....it wasn't his moms death....because that was at Imola 2003 or 2004 (can't remember)! And whan his mother died he didn't go to the press conference after the race...a team representative did!

And he did cry when he equaled one of Senna's records....but that was in 2002 or 2003! (can't remember the correct date!)

A fire marshall had died during a large shunt in the middle of the race and he was very emotional due to it.

Actually, (I confess I did not remember, I look it up) both things happened: he won his 41st GP, same as Senna, and a fire marshall was killed in the start.

"And then it was pointed out that with the win Schumacher had equalled Ayrton Senna's record for victories and a most extraordinary thing happened. He broke down and wept uncontrollably. And it was not from joy. It was such that even Hakkinen felt the need to console him. Whatever it was that upset Michael at his moment of victory is really no-one's business but his own. It was just strange for a man who has never shown a trace of such emotion in the past." (Grandprix.com)

I guess you all are thinking of Manchild now, but I won't say a word.
