30 years ago, Michael Schumacher won the first of his seven world championship titles. A look at the year in which a German sports icon was born and swept an entire country with him.
Michael Schumacher stood at the fence next to the track in Adelaide, Australia on November 13, 1994 and thought that he had given up the world title in the last race. Then a marshal whispers to him: Competitor Damon Hill didn’t make it to the finish line in his Williams after crashing into Schumacher. The 25-year-old becomes Formula 1 world champion by one point – and puts his hand to his head in joy, emotion and disbelieving amazement.
This makes Schumacher the first German to become Formula 1 world champion – a historic triumph. A look back at the racing year 1994 from the perspective of the young world champion.
