Even people who don’t have much to do with Formula 1 know Michael Schumacher, a legend. star-Author Kester Schlenz reports on his encounter with the racing athlete.
It was May 2003. A journalist colleague from the sports department asked me if I would like to meet him a formula 1 race wanted to watch. Barcelona Grand Prix. He still had one card left. And of course Michael Schumacher would be there. And we would get pretty close. The racing hero at the time. “Oh, God,” I thought. “What does he think? Have’ also met famous people. Should I freeze in awe now?” Schumi. Seen it a thousand times on television. Not a great speaker. No charisma. Just a racing driver. That doesn’t make me weak in the knees.
Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that.
