He is the most successful driver in Formula 1 history. In a total of 17 years of his career, Michael Schumacher won more races than any other racing driver.
In 1991 he contested his first race for Jordan at the Belgian Grand Prix. A rather short collaboration. In the next race he is already on the road for Benetton.
A year after his debut, he crossed the finish line as the winner for the first time.
He won the first of a total of seven world championships in 1994, just 23 years old. A success that he continued in the following year.
The move to Ferrari brings the final breakthrough. Between 2000 and 2004, Schumacher became world champion five times in a row.
In 2006 he retired from professional sport for 4 years. He returns with Mercedes for two years, but can no longer build on his successes.
In total, he started at 307 Grand Prix in Formula 1. He has 91 wins, 68 pole positions, 77 fastest race laps and 155 places in the top three.
Motorsport director Norbert Haug therefore called him the “king of all racing drivers”.
