The Greatest F1 Driver Nobody Talks About MICHAEL SCHUMACHER’S LEGACY IS RETURNING
From Zero to Racing Hero Schumacher was born to a working-class family in the West German town of Hürth, North Rhine- Westphalia — despite this, he’s been racing since he was 4 years old. At one point, his father worked multiple jobs in order to fund his son’s racing dreams and pay for new parts.
A Living Legacy In “Schumacher,” a 2021 Netflix documentary that was produced with the family’s consent, his wife, Corinna, emphasizes that she’s not a widow. “Michael is still here. Different, but here.” Although the league doesn’t make tributes to Schumacher
Michael Schumacher was the greatest Formula One driver of all time, with an income that competed with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. He’s also a longtime resident of Gland, Switzerland — yet, if you visit, you won’t find anything that bears his name. There are no pictures hanging on the walls, statues or plaques, and no evidence of him anywhere in town. Why? It’s actually out of respect. Locals believe that Schumacher hasn’t left his residence in Gland in over a decade. In 2013, he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a skiing accident, and has never fully recovered. Schumacher has not been seen in public since, and the family is highly secretive about the F1 driver’s condition. Although Schumacher’s fame never reached pinnacle heights in the U.S., he has a fascinating story — and there’s a happy ending, we promise!
out of respect for the family’s wishes, there’s one exception — his 23-year-old son, Mick, is now a fledgling F1 driver. Of his father, Mick said that they “understand each other in a different way now, simply because we speak a similar language, the language of motorsport.”
Because of his limited resources, Schumacher knew cars inside and out. Although he became an F1 superstar, he didn’t particularly care for his fame. Fans adored Schumacher’s ability as a technician and tactician, because he hacked the car and track for every tiny
advantage. By the time he retired in 2012, he held the record for most wins (91), pole positions (68), and podium finishes (155), while he maintains the record for the highest total of fastest laps (77).
We’re thrilled to see Mick on the track! In a way, Schumacher has fulfilled his father’s role for his own son — by giving Mick the opportunity to do what he loves.
