“Michael Schumacher has redefined the professional image of a racing driver and has set new standards,” said Sabine Kehm, Schumacher’s long-time press officer, in July. “In his quest for perfection, he spared neither himself nor his team, driving them to the greatest successes. He is admired all over the world for his leadership qualities.”
With seven Formula 1 driver’s titles to his name, Schumacher set the all-time record that he now shares with Lewis Hamilton. Sadly, just a year after retiring from racing in 2012, Schumacher suffered a head injury skiing from which he is still recovering.
