But despite starting seventh after crashing his car into gravel in qualifying, Schumacher got off to a sometimes quick start and temporarily moved up to second, before winning his first major race – he won. a time trial in Hungary last season.
This victory propelled him to 3rd position in the show jumping championship. Schumacher’s father, Michael, won a record 91 Grands Prix, 72 with Ferrari, also a record. He won seven world championships between 1994 and 2004, the last five in direct succession.

Some might be surprised if they were informed that Schumacher did not do his Formula 1 deyet with Benetton, but with Jordan in 1991. However, in the end, he only competed in one race for the team founded through Eddie Jordan (above left) , the Belgian Grand Prix. In fact, “racing” is probably an overstatement, as clutch problems forced him to retire on the first lap.
However, Schumacher would continue to drive in five more F1 races in 1991, after signing with Camel Benetton Ford. He obtained 4 numbers in the drivers’ championship in his first year, reaching him in position 14 in the standings that year.

The German driving force finished the season in 3rd position in the driving force championship with 53 points.
It would only take two more years for Schumacher to win it all. However, the 1994 season was marred by the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix. Here, Schumacher is seen in Adelaide, Australia celebrating the name of his first driver with his Benetton team. He would go on to effectively protect his drivers’ championship with Benetton in 1995.

Schumacher went out of line on the track. In the final race of 1997, it became Jacques Villeneuve’s car when the Canadian tried to overtake it. Damage from the fall forced Schumacher to retire, but the 4 issues Villeneuve won by completing third place earned him the drivers’ title. The FIA then disqualified Schumacher for the entire 1997 season.
Schumacher won the 91st race of his Formula 1 career in Shanghai on October 1, 2006. It would be the last victory of his F1 career. Schumacher retired from racing at the end of the season, which ended in the driver’s standings. In 2007, he accepted an advisory position at Ferrari.
During his time away from F1, Schumacher entered motorcycle racing and, in early 2009, had a twist of fate while testing his Honda 1000 CBR-Fireblade on a track in Cartagena, Spain. He broke a vertebra, a rib and the back of his skull, while also suffering from a torn artery in his brain. This forced him to cancel a planned comeback in 2009, when he would have replaced the injured Felipe Massa.
In 2010, Schumacher returned to the F1 circuit with Mercedes, with limited success. However, at the 2012 European Grand Prix in Valencia, Schumacher finished third. At the age of 43 years and 173 days, he is the oldest driving force to succeed on the podium since Jack Brabham finished moment at the 1970 British Grand Prix. Schumacher would retire (again) after the 2012 season. .
On December 29, 2013, Schumacher lost while skiing backcountry in the French Alps, hitting his head on a rock. Although he was wearing a helmet, he suffered a serious head injury. He underwent surgery and was put into an induced coma. In June 2014, his control announced that he was no longer in a coma. Since then, Schumacher, now 50, has been at his home in Gland, Switzerland.
Michael Schumacher, the only member of the family circle to have raced in Formula 1: his younger brother Ralf drove for Jordan, Williams and Toyota between 1997 and 2007, winning six races. Michael’s son Mick (pictured above) won the FIA F3 European Championship in 2018 and in 2019 is set to transfer to Formula 2. A long-term transfer to F1 seems like a different option, to say. least.
