Early years

Schumacher was born in Hürth Hermülheim, to Rolf, a bricklayer, and Elisabeth. Hürth is a city near Cologne in the Rhein-Erft-Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. A bricklayer or mason is a Tradesman who lays bricks to construct Brickwork. When Schumacher was four, his father modified his pedal kart by adding a small motorcycle engine. A pedal car is a Quadracycle. The Mochet Velocar seems to be the earliest example After Schumacher crashed it into a lamp post in Kerpen, his parents took him to the local karting track at Kerpen-Horrem where he became the youngest member of the karting club. Kerpen is a town in the Rhein-Erft-Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia. For other meanings see Kart (disambiguation Kart racing or karting is a variant of Open-wheel Motor sport with His father soon built him a proper kart from discarded parts and at the age of six Schumacher won his first club championship. To support his son's racing, Rolf Schumacher took on a second job renting and repairing karts at the circuit, while his wife worked at the track's canteen stand. Despite the extra income, when Schumacher needed a new engine costing 800 DM (400 €) his parents were unable to afford it, but their son was able to continue racing through support offered by several local businessmen. ^[9]

In Germany the regulations require the driver to be at least 14 years old in order to obtain a kart license. ^[10] To get around this, Schumacher obtained a license in Luxembourg in 1981, at the age of 12. Luxembourg (Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg Grand-Duché de Luxembourg Großherzogtum Luxemburg is a small Landlocked country in Western Europe, bordered by ^[10]

In 1983 he obtained his German license and the year after he won the German Junior Kart Championship. From 1984, Schumacher won numerous German and European kart championships. He joined Eurokart dealer Adolf Neubert in 1985. By 1987 he was the German and European kart champion, at which point he withdrew from school and began working as a mechanic. In 1988 Schumacher made his first step into single-seat car racing by racing in the German Formula Ford and Formula König series, winning the latter. Formula Ford is a single seater open wheel class in Motorsport which exists in some form in many countries around the world ^[11]

In 1989 Michael signed with Willi Weber's WTS Formula 3 team. Wilhelm "Willi" Friedrich Weber (born March 11 1942 in Regensburg, Germany) is the Manager of numerous German racing drivers Formula Three, also called Formula 3 or F3, is a class of open-wheel formula racing. For the next two years, funded by Weber, he competed in the German Formula 3 series, winning the title in 1990. Towards the end of 1990, along with his Formula 3 rivals Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger, he joined the Mercedes junior racing programme in the World Sports-Prototype Championship. Early career Frentzen was born in the West German city of Mönchengladbach ( North Rhine-Westphalia) to a German undertaker and a Spanish mother Mercedes Juniors Wendlinger started his career in Karting and in Formula Ford before entering the German Formula 3 Championship in 1988 Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of luxury Automobiles Buses coaches and Trucks It is currently a division of the The 1990 World Sports-Prototype Championship season was the 38th FIA World Sportscar Championship season This was an unusual move for a young driver: most of Schumacher's contemporaries would instead compete in Formula 3000 on their way to Formula One. However, Weber advised Schumacher that exposure to professional press conferences and driving powerful cars in long distance races would help his career. ^[10] He gained victory at the season finale at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in a Sauber-Mercedes C11 and finished fifth in the drivers' championship.

Formula One career

Overview

Schumacher was noted throughout his career for his ability to produce fast laps at crucial moments in a race, to push his car to the very limit for sustained periods. ^[12] Motor sport author Christopher Hilton observed in 2003 that "A measure of a driver's capabilities is his performance in wet races, because the most delicate car control and sensitivity are needed," and noted that like other great drivers, Schumacher's record in wet conditions shows very few mistakes: up to the end of the 2003 season, Schumacher won 17 of the 30 races in wet conditions he contested. ^[13] Some of Schumacher's best performances occurred in such conditions, earning him the title "Regenkönig" (rain king)^[14] or "Regenmeister" (rain master). ^[15][12] He is known as "the Red Baron", due to his red Ferrari and in reference to the German Manfred von Richthofen, the famous flying ace of World War I. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft. Please see WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft/page content for recommended layout A flying ace or fighter ace is a military aviator credited with shooting down several enemy Aircraft during aerial combat World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Schumacher's nicknames include "Schumi",^[16] "Schuey"^[17] and "Schu". ^[18]

Schumacher is often credited with popularising Formula One in Germany, where it was formerly considered a fringe sport. ^[4] In 2006, three of the top ten drivers were German, more than any other nationality and more than have ever been present in Formula One history. Younger German drivers, such as Sebastian Vettel, feel Schumacher was key in their becoming Formula One drivers. Sebastian Vettel (born July 3 1987 in Heppenheim) is a German race car driver ^[19] In the latter part of his Formula One career, and as one of the senior drivers, Schumacher was the president of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. The Grand Prix Drivers' Association (often shortened to just GPDA) is effectively the " union " of Formula One drivers ^[20]

Debut

Schumacher made his Formula One début with the Jordan-Ford team at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix as a replacement for the imprisoned Bertrand Gachot.

The bicycle, cycle, or bike is a pedal-driven, human-powered vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind ^[23] He impressed the paddock by qualifying seventh in this race, his first race in a Formula One. This matched the team's season-best grid position, and out-qualified 11-year veteran de Cesaris. Motorsport journalist Joe Saward reported that after qualifying "clumps of German journalists were talking about 'the best talent since Stefan Bellof'". Stefan Bellof (born in Gießen, Germany on November 20, 1957 – died in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium on September ^[24] Schumacher retired on the first lap of the race with clutch problems. A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation which can be engaged and disengaged ^[25]

Benetton

After his debut, and despite Jordan's signed agreement in principle with Schumacher's Mercedes management for the remainder of the season, Schumacher was signed by Benetton-Ford for the following race. Benetton Formula Ltd, commonly referred to simply as Benetton, was a Formula One constructor that participated from 1986 to 2001. Ford Motor Company is an American Multinational corporation and the world's fourth largest automaker based on Worldwide vehicle sales, following Jordan applied for an injunction in the UK courts to prevent Schumacher driving for Benetton, but lost the case as they had not yet signed a contract. ^[26] Schumacher finished the 1991 Formula One Season with four points in six races. The 1991 Formula One season was the 42nd FIA Formula One World Championship season His best finish was fifth in his second race, the Italian Grand Prix, in which he outpaced his team-mate and three-time World Champion Nelson Piquet.

At the start of the 1992 Formula One season the Sauber team, planning their Formula One début with Mercedes backing for the following year, invoked a clause in Schumacher's contract which stated that if Mercedes entered Formula One, Schumacher would drive for them. The 1992 Formula One season was the 43rd FIA Formula One World Championship season Sauber is a Swiss constructor of racing cars for Sportscar racing and Formula One. It was eventually agreed that Schumacher would stay with Benetton, Peter Sauber said that "[Schumacher] didn't want to drive for us.

1994–1995: World Championship years

The 1994 season was Schumacher's first Drivers' Championship.

Ayrton Senna da Silva ( pronounced, March 21, 1960 &ndash May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and triple Roland Ratzenberger ( July 4, 1960 &ndash April 30, 1994) was an Austrian Racing driver who died during qualifying for the The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on May 1 1994 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. ^[32]

Schumacher won six of the first seven races and was leading the Spanish Grand Prix, before a gearbox failure left him stuck in fifth gear. The 1994 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on May 29 1994 at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona. Schumacher finished the race in second. ^[33] Following the San Marino Grand Prix, the Benetton, Ferrari and McLaren teams were investigated on suspicion of breaking the FIA-imposed ban on electronic aids. Benetton and McLaren initially refused to hand over their source code for investigation. In Computer science, source code (commonly just source or code) is any sequence of statements or declarations written in some Human-readable When they did so, the FIA discovered hidden functionality in both teams' software, but no evidence that it had been used in a race. Both teams were fined $100,000 for their initial refusal to cooperate. However, the McLaren software, which was a gearbox program that allowed automatic shifts, was deemed legal. By contrast, the Benetton software was deemed to be a form of 'launch control' which would have allowed Schumacher to make perfect starts, which was explicitly outlawed by the regulations. ^[34] At the British Grand Prix, Schumacher was penalised for overtaking on the formation lap. The 1994 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 10 July 1994 at the Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone. He then ignored the penalty and the subsequent black flag, which indicates that the driver must immediately return to the pits, for which he was disqualified and later given a two-race ban. Racing flags are traditionally used in Auto racing and similar motorsports to communicate important messages to drivers Benetton blamed the fiasco on a communication error between the stewards and the team. ^[35] Schumacher was also disqualified after winning the Belgian Grand Prix after his car was found to have illegal wear on its skidblock, a measure used after the accidents at Imola to limit downforce and hence cornering speed. The 1994 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on August 28 1994 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa. A modern Formula One car is a single-seat open cockpit open wheel race car with substantial front and rear wings and engine positioned behind the driver The term downforce describes the downward pressure created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a Car that allows it to travel faster through a corner by holding ^[36] Benetton protested that the skidblock had been damaged when Schumacher spun over a kerb, but the FIA rejected their appeal. ^[37] These incidents helped Damon Hill close the points gap. Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960 in London) is a retired World Championship winning British racing driver from England With Schumacher leading by a single point going into the final race in Australia. The 1994 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on November 13 1994 at the Adelaide Street Circuit. On lap 36 of the race Schumacher ran off the track while leading from Hill. After rejoining at a reduced speed, he collided with Hill as Hill attempted to pass him, and crashed out of the race. The damage he caused to Hill's car forced him to retire. As neither he nor Hill scored, Schumacher won the championship. ^[38] This made him the first German to ever win the Formula One World Championship. ^[3]

In 1995 Schumacher successfully defended his title with Benetton. "F1 1995" redirects here For the video games based on the 1995 Formula One season see F1 95. He now had the same Renault engine as Williams. He accumulated 33 more points than second-placed Damon Hill. With team-mate Johnny Herbert, he took Benetton to its first Constructors' Championship and became the youngest two-time world champion in Formula One history.

The season was marred by several collisions with Hill, in particular an overtaking manoeuvre by Hill took them both out of the British Grand Prix near the start of the race. The 1995 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on July 16 1995 at the Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone. Schumacher won nine of the 17 races, and finished on the podium 11 times. Only once did he qualify worse than fourth; at the 1995 Belgian Grand Prix, he qualified 16th, but went on to win the race. The 1995 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on August 27 1995 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa. After Schumacher left Benetton, the team would win only one more race before being bought by Renault in 2000.

Ferrari

In 1996, Schumacher joined Ferrari, a team which had last won the Drivers' Championship with Jody Scheckter in 1979 and which had not won the Constructors' Cup since 1983 with drivers Rene Arnoux and Patrick Tambay at the wheel. The 1996 Formula One season was the 47th FIA Formula One World Championship season Scuderia Ferrari is the name for the Gestione Sportiva the division of the Ferrari automobile company concerned with racing Jody David Scheckter (born January 29, 1950) is a South African former Auto racing driver the 1979 Formula One World Drivers The 1979 Formula One season included the 30th FIA Formula One World Championship season which commenced on January 21, 1979, and ended on René Alexandre Arnoux (born July 4, 1948, in Grenoble) is a retired French Racing driver who is a veteran of 12 Formula One Patrick Tambay (born 25 June 1949 in Paris) is a French Racing driver. He left Benetton a year before his contract with them expired; he later cited the team's damaging actions in 1994 as his reason for opting out of his deal. ^[39] A year later, ex-Benetton employees Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn, who had been Technical Director at Benetton since 1991 ,^[40] and who was one of the key members behind Schumacher's title successes with the team in 1994 and 1995, decided to join Schumacher at Ferrari. Rory Byrne (born January 10, 1944) is a South African engineer and car designer currently Design and Development Consultant for the Scuderia Ferrari Ross Brawn (born November 23, 1954) is a British Motorsport engineer This highlighted Schumacher's enticement to build a more experienced and potentially championship-winning team around him.

Ferrari had previously come close to the championship in 1982 and 1990. The team had suffered a disastrous downturn in the early 1990s, partially as their famous V12 engine was no longer competitive against the smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient V10s of their competitors. Various drivers, notably Alain Prost, had given the vehicles labels such as "truck", "pig", and "accident waiting to happen". Alain Marie Pascal Prost, OBE (born 24 February 1955 is a French racing driver ^[41] The poor performance of the Ferrari pit crews was considered a running joke. ^[4] At the end of 1995, though the team had improved into a solid competitor, it was still considered inferior to front-running teams such as Benetton and Williams. ^[42] Schumacher declared the Ferrari 412T good enough to win the championship.

Schumacher, Ross Brawn, Rory Byrne, and Jean Todt (hired in 1993), have been credited as turning this once struggling team into the most successful team in Formula One history. Ross Brawn (born November 23, 1954) is a British Motorsport engineer Rory Byrne (born January 10, 1944) is a South African engineer and car designer currently Design and Development Consultant for the Scuderia Ferrari Jean Todt (b February 25 1946 Pierrefort, France) is the executive director of Scuderia Ferrari, the Ferrari company's Formula One ^[43][44] Three-time World Champion Jackie Stewart believes the transformation of the Ferrari team was Schumacher's greatest feat.

1996–1999

"It was not a race. It was a demonstration of brilliance. " Stirling Moss about Schumacher at the 1996 Spanish GP[46]

Schumacher finished third in the Drivers' Championship in 1996, and helped Ferrari to second place in the constructors' championship ahead of his old team Bennetton. Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss OBE (born September 17, 1929 in London) is a retired racing driver from England. The 1996 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on June 2, 1996 at the Circuit de Catalunya. He won three races, more than the team's total tally for the period from 1991 to 1995. During the initial part of the 1996 season, the car had had reliability trouble and Schumacher did not finish 6 of the 16 races. He took his first win for Ferrari at the Spanish Grand Prix, where he lapped the entire field up to third place in the wet, using an uncharacteristically flamboyant oversteering style. Oversteer is a phenomenon that can occur in an Automobile which is attempting to turn ^[10] In the French Grand Prix Schumacher qualified in pole position, but suffered engine failure on the race's formation lap. Results from the 1996 French Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Magny-Cours on June 30, 1996. The term " pole position " comes from the Horse racing term where the number one starter starts on the inside next to the inside pole ^[47] However at Spa-Francorchamps, Schumacher used well-timed pit-stops to fend off the Williams' Jacques Villeneuve. The 1996 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on August 25, 1996 at Spa-Francorchamps. Personal and early life Jacques Villeneuve was born in the Canadian city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to then soon to be Formula One driver Gilles Following that, at Monza, Schumacher won in front of the tifosi. The 1996 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on September 8, 1996 at Monza. Tifosi is an Italian word to describe a group of fans The term for a single male fan is Tifoso. Schumacher's ability, combined with the improving reliability of Ferrari, enabled him to end the season, putting up a challenge to eventual race and championship winner Damon Hill at Suzuka.

Personal and early life Jacques Villeneuve was born in the Canadian city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to then soon to be Formula One driver Gilles The 1997 Formula One season was the 48th FIA Formula One World Championship season Villeneuve, driving the superior Williams FW19, led the championship in the early part of the season. The Williams FW19 was the car with which the Williams Formula One team used to compete in the 1997 Formula One season. ^[48] However, by mid-season, Schumacher had taken the Championship lead, winning five races, and entered the season's final Grand Prix with a one-point advantage. During the race, held at Jerez, Schumacher and Villeneuve collided as Villeneuve passed his rival. Circuito Permanente de Jerez is a 4428 m (2752- Miles racing circuit located in the city of Jerez de la Frontera, deep within the Sherry -producing Schumacher retired from the race and Villeneuve scored four points to take the championship. Schumacher was held to be at fault for the collision and was disqualified from the Drivers' Championship. ^[49]

In 1998, Finnish driver Mika Häkkinen became Schumacher's main title competition. The 1998 Formula One season was the 49th FIA Formula One World Championship season Finland, officially the Republic of Finland ( is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. Mika Pauli Häkkinen ( (born September 28, 1968 in Helsingin maalaiskunta) is a Finnish racing driver and two-time Formula Häkkinen won the first two races of the season, gaining a 16 point advantage over Schumacher. With the Ferrari improving significantly in the second half of the season, Schumacher won six races and had five other podium finishes. Ferrari took a 1–2 finish at the Italian Grand Prix, which tied Schumacher with Häkkinen for the lead of the Drivers' Championship with 80 points, but Häkkinen won the Championship by winning the final two races. The 1998 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Monza on September 13, 1998. There were two controversies; at the British Grand Prix Schumacher was leading on the last lap when he turned into the pit lane, crossed the start finish line and stopped for a ten second stop go penalty. The 1998 British Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 12 July 1998 There was some doubt whether this counted as serving the penalty, but the win stood. At Spa, Schumacher was leading the race by 40 seconds in heavy spray, but collided with David Coulthard's McLaren when the Scot, a lap down, slowed in very poor visibility to let Schumacher past. The 1998 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at Spa-Francorchamps on 30 August 1998. David Marshall Coulthard, often called DC, (born 27 March 1971 in Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire) is a British Formula One racing driver After both cars returned to the pits, Schumacher rushed to McLaren's garage and accused Coulthard of trying to kill him. ^[50]Later in 2003 David Coulthard admitted it was his mistake after he was involved in a similar incident in the European Grand Prix, this time he shunted the back of the backmarker just like Michael did in 1998.

Schumacher's efforts helped Ferrari win the Constructors title in 1999. The 1999 Formula One season was the 50th FIA Formula One World Championship season He lost his chance to win the Drivers' Championship at the British Grand Prix: At the high-speed Stowe Corner, his car's rear brake failed, sending him off the track and resulting in a broken leg. The 1999 British Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on July 11, 1999 at the Silverstone Circuit near Silverstone, England ^[51] During his long absence, he was replaced by Finnish driver Mika Salo. Mika Juhani Salo (born November 30, 1966 in Helsinki) is a Finnish Racing driver. After missing six races, he made his return at the inaugural Malaysian Grand Prix, qualifying in the pole position by almost a second. The 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on October 17, 1999 at the Sepang International Circuit near Sepang, He then assumed the role of second driver, assisting team mate Eddie Irvine's bid to win the Drivers' Championship for Ferrari. Before F1 (1983–1993 Eddie Irvine's racing career began in Formula Ford, and from 1983 through 1986 he spent the championships in middle-field places finishing on the ^[52] In the last race of the season, the Japanese Grand Prix, Häkkinen won his second consecutive title. The 1999 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on October 31, 1999 at the Suzuka International Racing Course in Suzuka, Schumacher would later say that Häkkinen was the opponent he respected the most. ^[53]

2000–2004: World Championship years

Schumacher won his third World Championship in 2000 after a year-long battle with Häkkinen. The 2000 Formula One season was the 51st FIA Formula One World Championship season Schumacher won the first three races of the season and five of the first eight. Mid-way through the year, Schumacher's chances suffered with three consecutive non-finishes, allowing Häkkinen to close the gap in the standings. Häkkinen then took another two victories, before Schumacher won at the Italian Grand Prix. The 2000 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on September 10, 2000 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza near Monza, Italy At the post race press conference, after equalling the number of wins (41) won by his idol, Ayrton Senna, Schumacher broke into tears. Ayrton Senna da Silva ( pronounced, March 21, 1960 &ndash May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and triple ^[54] The championship fight would come down to the penultimate race of the season, the Japanese Grand Prix. It was joy for Michael Schumacher who claimed his third world title and the first drivers title for Ferrari since Jody Scheckter back in 1979 in a very tense race Starting from pole position, Schumacher had the early lead, but soon lost it to Häkkinen. After his second pit-stop, however, Schumacher came out ahead of Häkkinen and went on to win the race and the championship.

In 2001, Schumacher took his fourth drivers' title. The 2001 Formula One season was the 52nd FIA Formula One World Championship season Four other drivers won races, but none sustained a season-long challenge for the championship. Schumacher scored a record-tying nine wins and clinched the world championship with four races yet to run. He finished the championship with 123 points, 58 ahead of runner-up Coulthard. Season highlights included the Canadian Grand Prix, where Schumacher finished 2nd to his brother Ralf, thus scoring the first ever 1–2 finish by brothers in Formula One;^[55] and the Belgian Grand Prix in which Schumacher scored his 52nd career win, breaking Alain Prost's record for most career wins.

2005–2006

In 2005 Schumacher's sole win came at the United States Grand Prix. "F1 2005" redirects here For the video games based on the 2005 Formula One season see F1 05 & F1 Grand Prix. The 2005 United States Grand Prix was one of the most controversial Prior to that race, the Michelin tyres, used by most teams, were found to have significant safety issues. When no compromise between the teams and the FIA could be reached, all but the six drivers using Bridgestone tyres dropped out of the race after the formation lap. ^[63] However, rule changes for the 2005 and 2006 seasons required tyres to last an entire race,^[64] tipping the overall advantage to teams using Michelins over teams such as Ferrari that relied on Bridgestone tyres. ^[65] The rule changes were partly in an effort to dent Ferrari's dominance and make the series more interesting. ^[4] Less than half-way through the season, Schumacher said "I don't think I can count myself in this battle any more. It was like trying to fight with a blunted weapon. . . . If your weapons are weak you don't have a chance. "^[66] The most notable moment of the season for Schumacher was his battle with Fernando Alonso in San Marino, where he started 13th and finished only 0. Fernando Alonso Díaz (born July 29, 1981 in Oviedo, Spain) is a Spanish Formula One racing driver and a two-time The 2005 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One race held from April 22 to April 24 2005 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. 2 seconds behind the Spanish driver. ^[67] Schumacher retired in six of the 19 races. He finished the season in third with 62 points, less than half the points of world champion Alonso.

2006 became the last season of Schumacher's racing career. "F1 2006" redirects here For the video games based on the 2006 Formula One season see F1 06 & F1 CE. After three races, Schumacher had 11 points and was already 17 points behind Alonso. He won the following two races, his first wins in 18 months, not including the boycotted 2005 United States Grand Prix. The 2005 United States Grand Prix was one of the most controversial Schumacher was stripped of pole position at the Monaco Grand Prix and started the race at the back of the grid. The 2006 Monaco Grand Prix was the seventh race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship This was due to him stopping his car and blocking part of the circuit while Alonso was on his qualifying lap; he still managed to work his way up to 5th place on the notoriously cramped Monaco circuit. By the Canadian Grand Prix, the ninth race of the season, he was 25 points behind Alonso, and the three wins that followed helped him reduce his disadvantage to 11. The 2006 Canadian Grand Prix was the ninth race of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. After his victories in Italy (in which Alonso had an engine failure)^[68] and China, in which Alonso had tyre problems,^[69] Schumacher led in the championship standings for the first time during the season. The 2006 Italian Grand Prix was the fifteenth race of the 2006 Formula One season. The 2006 Chinese Grand Prix was the sixteenth race of the 2006 Formula One season. Although he and Alonso had the same point total, Schumacher was in front because he had won more races.

The Japanese Grand Prix was led by Schumacher with only 16 laps to go, when, for the first time since the 2000 French Grand Prix, Schumacher's car suffered engine failure. Results from the 2000 Formula One French Grand Prix held at Magny-Cours on July 2, 2000. Alonso won the race, which gave him a ten point championship lead. With only one race left in the season, Schumacher could only win the championship if he won the season finale and Alonso scored no points.

Before the Brazilian Grand Prix, the last race of his career, Schumacher conceded the title to Alonso. The 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on October 22, 2006 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, São Paulo ^[70] In pre-race ceremonies, football legend Pelé presented a trophy^[71] to Schumacher for his years of dedication to Formula One. Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered ^[72] During the race's qualifying session, Schumacher had the best time of all drivers through the first two sessions; but a fuel pressure problem prevented him from completing a single lap during the third session, forcing him to start the race in tenth position. ^[73] Early in the race Schumacher moved up to sixth place. However, in overtaking Alonso's teammate, Giancarlo Fisichella, Schumacher experienced a tyre puncture caused by the front wing of Fisichella's car. Giancarlo Fisichella (born January 14, 1973 in Rome, Italy) also known as Fisico or Fisi, is an Italian racing ^[74] Schumacher pitted and consequently fell to 19th place, 70 seconds behind teammate and race leader Felipe Massa. Felipe Massa (born in São Paulo April 25, 1981) is a Brazilian Formula One racing driver currently employed by the Ferrari Schumacher recovered and overtook both Fisichella and Räikkönen to secure fourth place. His performance was classified in the press as "heroic",^[75] an "utterly breath-taking drive",^[76] and a "performance that . . . sums up his career". ^[77]

Retirement

While Schumacher was on the podium after winning the 2006 Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari issued a press release stating that he would retire from racing at the end of the 2006 season. The 2006 Italian Grand Prix was the fifteenth race of the 2006 Formula One season. ^[78] Schumacher confirmed his retirement. ^[7] The press release stated that Schumacher would continue working for Ferrari. It was revealed on 29 October 2006 that Ferrari wanted Schumacher to act as assistant to the newly appointed CEO Jean Todt.

Helmet

Schumacher in conjunction with Schuberth helped develop the first lightweight carbon helmet. Schuberth Helme GmbH is a German producer of safety helmets. The company was founded in the early 1920s in Braunschweig. In 2004, a prototype was publicly tested by being driven over by a tank; it survived intact.

2008: development of the car and third driver

In 2007, former Ferrari top manager Ross Brawn said that Schumacher is very likely and also happy to continue testing in 2008. Ross Brawn (born November 23, 1954) is a British Motorsport engineer In January of 2008, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo confirmed this, stating that Schumacher will be one of the team's third drivers. ^[92] Michael Schumacher later explained his role further, saying that he will "deal with the development of the car inside Gestione Sportiva", and as part of that, will drive the car, but not too often. Scuderia Ferrari is the name for the Gestione Sportiva the division of the Ferrari automobile company concerned with racing ^[93]

Controversy

During his long career Schumacher has been involved in several incidents, which have caused considerable controversy. Schumacher has been vilified in the British media for his involvement in title-deciding collisions in 1994 and 1997. The United Kingdom has an extremely diverse media with an almost unrivalled number of outlets second only to the United States. ^[94] German and Italian newspapers have widely condemned his actions in 1997. ^[95]

Championship deciding collisions

Going into the 1994 Australian Grand Prix, the final race of the 1994 season, Schumacher led Damon Hill by a single point in the Drivers' Championship. The 1994 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on November 13 1994 at the Adelaide Street Circuit. The 1994 Formula One season was the 45th FIA Formula One World Championship season Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960 in London) is a retired World Championship winning British racing driver from England Schumacher led the race from the beginning with Hill closely following him. On lap 35, Schumacher went off track, hitting a wall with his right side wheels. ^[96] It is unknown whether Schumacher's car was damaged, as he returned to the track at reduced speed but still leading the race. At the next corner, when Hill attempted a pass on the inside while Schumacher was turning into the corner, Schumacher and Hill collided. Schumacher's car was tipped up onto two wheels and eliminated on the spot. Hill pitted immediately and retired from the race with unrepairable damage. As neither driver scored Schumacher took the title.

Opinion is divided over the incident. British Formula One journalist and author Alan Henry has written that Schumacher was blamed by "many F1 insiders" for the incident,^[97] however British Formula One commentator Murray Walker believes it was not a deliberate move. Alan Henry is widely regarded as the "grand old man" of British motorsport journalism having been a grand prix reporter since the early 1970s Graeme Murray Walker OBE (known as Murray Walker; born 10 October 1923 Hall Green, Birmingham, England) is a Formula 1 ^[98] The race stewards judged it a racing accident and took no action against either driver.

At the 1997 European Grand Prix at Jerez, the last race of the season, Schumacher led another driver, this time Williams' Jacques Villeneuve, by one point in the Drivers' Championship. The 1997 European Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on October 26 1997 at the Circuito Permanente de Jerez, Spain Circuito Permanente de Jerez is a 4428 m (2752- Miles racing circuit located in the city of Jerez de la Frontera, deep within the Sherry -producing The 1997 Formula One season was the 48th FIA Formula One World Championship season Personal and early life Jacques Villeneuve was born in the Canadian city of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to then soon to be Formula One driver Gilles Although Schumacher and Villeneuve had set the same time during qualifying, the Canadian driver started the race in pole position due to his being the first to set the time. By the first corner of the race, Schumacher was ahead of Villeneuve. On lap 48, Villeneuve passed Schumacher at the Dry Sac Corner. As he did so, Schumacher turned into the Williams, the right-front wheel of Schumacher's Ferrari hitting the left side pod of Villeneuve's car. Schumacher retired from the race immediately while Villeneuve was able to finish the race in the third place, taking four points and so becoming the World Champion. ^[96]

Two weeks after the race, Schumacher was excluded from the results for the season after a FIA disciplinary hearing disqualified him, finding that his "manoeuvre was an instinctive reaction and although deliberate not made with malice or premeditation. It was a serious error. "^[49] This made him the only driver in the history of the sport, as of 2007 to be disqualified from a World Championship. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. ^[99] Schumacher accepted the decision^[100] and admitted having made a mistake. ^[95]

Other incidents

Two laps from the finish of the 1998 British Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher was leading the race when he was issued a stop-and-go penalty for overtaking a lapped car (Alexander Wurz) under a yellow flag. The 1998 British Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 12 July 1998 BMX Wurz first tasted competition in the BMX World Championship and won it outright in 1986 This penalty involves going into the pit lane and stopping for 10 seconds. But as the penalty was given with fewer than 12 laps remaining, and since it was issued as a handwritten note, the Ferrari team was confused as to whether the penalty was a stop and go penalty or merely a penalty of 10 seconds to be added to Schumacher's race time. The rules state that a driver must serve his penalty within three laps of the penalty being issued, and on the third lap after receiving the penalty, Schumacher turned into the pit lane to serve his penalty. However, this happened to be the last lap of the race, and Ferrari's pit box was located after the start/finish line, meaning that Schumacher finished the race before serving the penalty. The stewards initially resolved that problem by adding 10 seconds to Schumacher's race time, then later rescinded the penalty completely. ^[101] In the same season, after a race-ending collision whilst trying to lap David Coulthard during the Belgian Grand Prix, Schumacher stormed into the McLaren garage and accused Coulthard of trying to kill him.
