On January 3, seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, a driver who once achieved fantastic success in Formula 1, turned 55 years old. And even though many of his statistical records, which seemed incredible at the time, have already been broken and Lewis Hamilton now has the same number of titles, Schumacher’s period in the World Championship will forever remain in the history of motorsport as one of the most striking .
After an incident on a ski slope in the French Alps, as tragic as it was absurd, Schumacher virtually disappeared from the public sphere ten years ago, since his family imposed a complete information blockade, and very few people know the whole truth. his current condition.
But at the same time, millions of fans around the world remember the emotions they felt when Michael achieved countless victories on the race tracks. For them, Schumacher remains a real hero, although he once said that this attitude of the public causes him some discomfort.
Many years ago, Sabine Kehm, a former German journalist who later became Schumacher’s manager and now manages his son Mick’s career, wrote: “If Formula 1 is the universe, then Michael Schumacher is the sun.” On the one hand, such an image contains some exaggeration, on the other hand, who would argue with this?
