Michael Schumacher is the epitome of motorsport for many years. His unsurpassed talent set a new benchmark in racing Formula 1, to take that nobody has succeeded. Schumi made a brilliant athletic career with many victories and faery with the same set of contentious issues, because of which he has many detractors. Despite his talent is beyond doubt, and for a long time for young novice drivers will be emulated. During its participation in the Royal race "Michael has won a huge audience of fans who continue to follow his life even after retirement from professional sport. His love not only as a brilliant pilot, but as a simple man - his strengths and weaknesses. No one will argue that Michael is very lucky person. But the secret of his luck, not only in this - as no one can fully be given Schumi favorite business to devote his whole life. "I just ride. I do not know how to explain it, but I'm always close to its limit than other pilots, "- explains the reasons for its success, Michael. Michael was born Jan. 3, 1969 in Hurt Hyurmuthayme near Kerpen. His parents lived fairly poor. Father Rolf Schumacher was just a bricklayer. Love for cars with Schumi came through his father, who really fond of cars. The first cards his father had collected for his son out of the ordinary mowers. Rolf later opened his own go-cart center, where he received the first elements of managing a small Schumi. At the age of five years, Schumacher won his first Cup despite the fact that his card had been less powerful than the machines of other participants and myself, Michael was the youngest. Even age and inexperience did not prevent him from winning more senior colleagues, played a role magnificent talent. And in six years, Michael became the champion of karting club. Schumacher went on to perform at various competitions, and eventually the money his father was not enough. But the world is not without good people, and to help Schumi came family friend Juergen Dilke, who bought a new card to the young rider, became his sponsor and helped him financially. In 1988, Schumacher was in German team Formula Konig. He surely was leading the championship, winning nine out of ten races and finishing second at the last stage. In addition, Michael was second in F1600 and the fourth in the Formula Ford. In 1989 Michael won the third place in the German F-3. It was at this time, Schumacher met Willi Weber, the brilliant manager who was able to provide the young pilot of the best future. At this stage of his career, Michael has competed with Karl Wendlinger and Heinz-Harald Frenttsenom. A Macau Grand Prix Schumacher won twice at Mika Hakkinen. In 1990 Michael became the champion of the German Formula 3. Soon, along with Frenttsenom Wendlinger and he began to speak for the team Mersedes-Benz in the category of sports-prototypes. Soon, fate smiled at Michael and he got a chance to become a pilot "Formula 1". Michael's debut in Formula-1 "was held August 25, 1991 at the Grand Prix of Belgium. The guy impressed everyone, once the seventh-up to qualification. He managed to instantly beat his running mate, an experienced pilot, Andrea di Chezarisa. Taking advantage of the moment, Willi Weber has his nominate prospective ward bosses of different teams. Flavio Briatore of Benetton was not inferior to Weber in business acumen and entrepreneurship, he soon realized what a unique talent has Schumacher. Partner Michael for Benetton was Nelson Piquet, a three-time world champion. However, self-confident Schumacher folded before the authority of his running mate, and already at the next race in Italy, he finished fifth, ahead of Piquet. At the end of the season with 4 points Schumacher took 12 th place in the championship, that debut was more than good. Season in 1992, Michael finished third in the overall standings. Given the incredible strength of the two Williams, as well as youth and inexperience of the Germans, it was a very strong result. 1993 brought disappointment. New Benetton car was far from perfect and suffered from poor reliability, which could not affect the result. Beginning of the season was terrible in six Grand Prix, Michael only three times reached the finish line. The most unfortunate similarity expected Michael to Monaco when he was riding ahead of Ayrton Senna second for 20 seconds. This advantage was obyspechit Schumi win the most prestigious stage of the championship, but he summed up the equipment - a sudden explosion motor. In the end the season in 1993 turned to him only fourth place. 1994 was a turning point for all those who somehow participated in the "Formula 1". Before the season looked like the clear favorite of Ayrton Sena, who converted to Williams. Schumacher himself has repeatedly acknowledged that, although his Benetton allowed to fight with the leaders on equal terms. Progress of his car Schumacher proved in the first two races, winning the confidence. But the third race was a watershed for the entire season. Tragic weekend began with a terrible accident Rubens Barikello, after which he had visited in the hospital. On Saturday in qualifying crash Roland Rattsenberger conducting only the third Grand Prix. According to one of the mechanics, then in boxes Senna said he would prefer, and do not leave the launch pad. Unfortunately, Ayrton went to the launch pad. Rotate Tamburello proved fatal, that race took the lives of the legendary champion, a pilot whose talent remains unsurpassed. Michael won that race, but on the podium there was no joy, no champagne. Benetton gained momentum, it seemed that Schumacher had already secured the title, but the British Grand Prix has brought Michael and his team a lot of problems. For overtaking on the formation lap race judges have shown the black flag to Michael, was ordered to finish the race. Michael has not obeyed, later explaining that he saw nothing. Schumacher was disqualified, he seized second place in the race, but later denied opportunities to speak at two Grand Prix - Italy and Portugal. In the future due to the fact that the bottom of the car Schumi was stochennym due to the small departure, he selected the points for a win at Spa and was sentenced to Damon Hill, who was Schumacher's main rival for the title. Not without the help of FIA managed to cut nearly 40-point advantage just before Michael a point. The final race in Adelaide ended in a clash between two irreconcilable racers, which were both forced off the road. Mutual similarity did Michael Champion. In 1995, Schumacher and crushed the competition at all. Briatore managed to get motors Renault, Benetton and won unprecedented power. This year has once again proved by Michael - another superb victory in Monaco, an incredible win at home in Germany, finally, the famous break at Spa from 16 th to 1 st place. In addition, in his personal life of Michael remarkable event took place - 1 August 1995, he formalized his relationship with Corinne Bech. Next year Michael started with the rank of the pilot of the legendary team Ferrari. His partner was Eddie Irvine. The volatile bolide Michael unable to defend his title against the encroachments of the pilots Williams, Hill and Villeneuve. But already during the first year at Ferrari, Michael proved that the team can win. At the beginning of the season, Michael had brought three wins. And finished the season third, too. At the end of the season Scuderia did not look lost, here played a huge role organizing talent of Jean Todt, who managed to reach out to everyone. In 1997 the team was greatly strengthened - in the team was joined by Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne, who worked with Michael back in the Benetton. The season went pretty well. Michael fought on equal terms with Jacques Villeneuve of Williams, the new car is much more suited to him, and tactical genius Ross Brawn allowed to beat rivals not only on the track, but also in the pits. For the first time in many years, Ferrari actually fought for the title. However, the race in Jerez crossed all expectations. The 48-lap, facing Villeneuve, Schumacher out of the race. The Canadian finished third, secured a first league title. In the accident, was found guilty of a noise, and at a meeting of FIA decided to deny Michael's second place overall and all points scored during the championship. In the 1998 season Ferrari was waiting for a new challenge in the face of the team Mclaren-Mersedes and its pilots Hakkinen and Coulthard. But this superiority was not expecting anyone. Already the first race in Melbourne to show who is now a true leader. Schumacher in qualifying was only a third. Throughout the season, Michael fought Hakkinenom as I could, but in the end was only the second, and promised in the next championships will certainly please their fans a victory. But the next season was the heaviest in his career Schumi. Mclaren came up to the beginning of the year in the role of unconditional favorite. And the first Grand Prix win teammate Michael Eddie Irvine. Competing with team-mate only spurred Michael. The next three races, he showed a brilliant result. But already the next Grand Prix at Silverstone has turned a terrible accident, which resulted in serious consequences - a double fracture of his right leg. Such a diagnosis questioned the continuation of a career pilot, not to mention the fact that in the season-99 Germans could no longer continue the struggle. Treatment is difficult, the foot heal with difficulty, but Michael decided to start training. But tests at Monza were a nightmare - Schumacher hardly overpowered a few laps, and high barriers Monza immediately impact on the state of his broken leg. Soon, Ferrari, and even around the world, it became clear - Schumacher is indispensable, and from that moment bosses Scuderia began aggressively try to persuade him to return. 8 October 1999 Scuderia announced the return of the Red Baron. By 2000, the team came fully armed - F1-2000 car looked great, Schumacher was the winner, his partner was Rubens Barrichello. Schumacher won the first three races of the season, while the pilots Mclaren had to fight with his own car. Winning series continued in Japan - Michael once again ahead of everyone. October 8, 2000, exactly one year after the announcement of his return, Michael has brought the title Ferrari. Title, which the team waited for 21 years. In 2001 and 2002, respectively Schumacher won the champion title with an even larger margin, and the number of titles on par with the great Juan Manuel Fangio. But this did not stop Michael, and by 2005 had brought their results to the seven-time Cup championship. Season 2005 was not so smooth, and for the first 13 races he was able to win only 1 win and behind the championship leader by 40 points. In his final year performances in races on the Formula-1 "Michael fought to the last with a young Alonso, but in the end he had to settle for second place. Despite this, the talent Schumacher is still unmatched, his brilliant victory will long remember the millions of fans around the world.
