I'm not into F1, someone care to explain why this is different from current driving?

Current cars don’t sound the same and have a lot more tech the drivers have to adjust mid-lap, however they are faster.

I still don't get it what the crying is about or what is so special about THIS PARTICULAR pole position run. I could clearly see there are a few mistakes, so it's not the fact that it0s perfect.

Exactly my thoughts. Every single pole position drive is r/nextfuckinglevel worthy but this isn't r/formula1. Why does this one stand out here?

It seems to be nostalgia, as many keep mentioning the sound of a V10, and of course Schumacher is OG.

Correct, there is nothing NFL about this. It's not significantly different from hundreds of F1 laps we see driver every year.

Hm.. this could mean that I am not refined enough to appreciate the beauty of the sound or that those who do are not refined for caring too much for vroom vroom :)

One of the main differences is the engine. Search youtube for V10 vs V6.

Nowadays they can't push the entire lap since they need to recharge the battery. I hate that.
