Michael Schumacher Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Michael Schumacher (pronounced /miçaɛl ʃumaxɐ/, born January 3, 1969, in Hürth Hermülheim, near Cologne) is a German Formula One driver and seven-time Formula One world champion. He holds many Formula One records, including those for most drivers championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions, and most races won in a single season. Schumacher is the only German to have won the drivers' championship.Schumacher won the 1990 German Formula Three title before joining the Mercedes-Benz junior driver scheme in the World Sportscar Championship in 1991. He made his debut in Formula One at the age of 21 with the Jordan team at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix where, despite his lack of experience, Schumacher matched the team's season-best grid position of seventh. The race-winning Benetton team signed him before the next race, despite what Jordan believed was a binding contract. Schumacher went on to win world championships in 1994 and 1995 with the Anglo-Italian team before joining the then uncompetitive Ferrari team for 1996. In 2000 Michael Schumacher took Ferrari's first driver's championship since 1979. He won the next four championships and in 2004 won 13 of that year's 18 races. | |||||||||||||
