In terms of sport, Ralf Schumacher was in the shadow of his big brother. But he likes to think back to his childhood with brother Michael.
Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher fondly thinks back to earlier times with his brother Michael.
«We had a lovely childhood, we spent a lot of time together. We were looking forward to the winter when the kart track was closed and we had more time for ourselves, ”said the younger brother of the Formula 1 record world champion at Sport1. «That was great. We had a great time together, especially at the level and in the most beautiful places in the world. That were good times.”
The now 46-year-old drove in the premier class of motorsport from 1997 to 2007 and won six races. In terms of sport, he was overshadowed by his brother (52), who won the world title seven times. “Back then we were as well known as Helmut Kohl,” said Ralf Schumacher. “There was nowhere to go. The tabloid press was huge. “
Most recently, the documentation “Schumacher” was published on Netflix. In the 112-minute film, the unique career of Michael Schumacher is highlighted, but the tragedy with his skiing accident in December 2013 is not left out either.
“There were many years in which I was not involved,” said Ralf Schumacher about the documentation. “Of course there would have been a lot more, it was a very long time. But I think it’s done very, very nicely, at least in terms of motorsport and sport. Also many private insights, also from the family, especially the children and the mother. I thought that was really great, very open. “
The Netflix documentary does not provide any information about the exact state of health of Schumacher. Schumacher suffered a traumatic brain injury eight years ago in a fall while skiing despite a helmet and was in danger of death.
