Classic race

1. 1992, Spa-Francorchamps, Schumacher’s first race at the Belgian Grand Prix Victory, Schumacher showed all his driving genius in rainy conditions. After Michael Schumacher slid off the track, Schumacher was overtaken by teammate Brund, but the careful Schumacher noticed that his teammate's tires were severely worn. Schumacher speculated that the same was true for his tires, so he immediately stopped to change to wet tires. That's when the right decision at the right time helped him win the game. 2. 1995, Spa-Francorchamps, Belgian Grand Prix In this race, Schumacher won the championship from 16th place on the starting grid in changing weather conditions. Schumacher insisted on using slick tires and ultimately won. But this victory also has its regrets. Schumacher received a one-race ban for swerving on the straight to prevent Damon Hill from overtaking. 3. 1995, Nürburgring, European Grand Prix In the last European Grand Prix that Schumacher participated in for the Benetton team, Schumacher won his most beautiful victory of the year in front of his hometown folks. In a battle with Jean Alesi, Schumacher overtook his opponent with two laps to go and won the championship. 4. 1996, Circuit de Catalunya, Spanish Grand Prix This was Schumacher’s first race win for Ferrari, and it was still in the rain. In this game, only the runner-up and third place were not lapped by Schumacher - but Schumacher led the second place Alessi by 45 seconds.

"If someone asked me how much I would bet on myself to win here, I would say not a penny," Schumacher said after the race. 5. 1998, Hungaroring, Hungarian Grand Prix With his magical driving skills and the three-stop strategy adopted on this extremely difficult overtaking track, Schumacher won the championship at the Hungaroring. Technical director Ross Brawn asked Schumacher to squeeze in 25 seconds within 19 laps to ensure one stop, and Schumacher began to run wildly. Schumacher simply replied "thank you" after receiving the instruction, and finally he did it. 6. 2000, Suzuka Circuit, Japanese Grand Prix After this race, Schumacher brought Ferrari its first driver championship in 21 years. Schumacher followed McLaren's Mika Hakkinen for almost 40 laps before finally overtaking him in the pits. This is not the most breathtaking game, but it is the most emotional one.

7. 2003 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola Circuit The mother of the Schumacher brothers passed away before the race, but Schumacher still endured the grief and won the race. After the game, Schumacher was full of tears on the podium, with his arms wrapped in black veil. This championship was also considered to be the most valuable championship in his career, which shocked the world. 8. During the 2003 Austrian Grand Prix on the A1 track, when Schumacher pitted for refueling for the second time, the technician was unable to pull out the fuel pipe, causing the car to catch fire. However, Schumacher remained calm as if nothing had happened, and just wiped off his helmet when exiting the pit. fire-extinguishing foam on the car, and successively surpassed the leader Raikkonen and the exploded Montoya, becoming the winner of the last Austrian Grand Prix. The story of Schumacher's calmness in the face of fire has also become a legend in his career. 9. In the 2004 French Grand Prix at Circuit Magny-Cours, when the race was coming to an end, the Ferrari staff rushed out of the garage at lightning speed, and Ross Brawn arranged an astonishing 4 times for Schumacher.

This game is hailed as an unreplicable classic in the history of F1, and also a classic in the history of the partnership between Ross Brawn and Schumacher. This race was recorded in the history of F1 because Schumacher's car did not have any abnormality and arranged 4 unconventional pit stops and won the championship. 10. In the 2006 Shanghai International Circuit China Grand Prix, in sixth place in qualifying and with weak Bridgestone wet tires, the Renault team made the wrong pit stop decision to change tires and overtook Fernando Alonso at Turn 3. Winning the Championship

Historical Review

In 1987, Michael Schumacher participated in the go-kart competition and won the championship, starting his professional racing career. He then moved to Formula Ford and finished second (behind former Sauber driver Mika Salo) and fourth in the European and German championships. In 1989, Schumacher participated in the German Formula 3 car and tied for third place with his teammate Hansel Frentzen, just 1 point behind second place. In 1990, he won the event five times and won the German Formula Three championship that season after winning the Macau and Fiji Grand Prix. Schumacher is also very familiar with Sports cars. He was a member of the Mercedes junior team and won the race in Mexico City. In 1991, he again won the race at Autopolis in Sports cars. In the same year, he participated in the F3000 competition for the first time and won second place in the Japanese sugo competition. More importantly, in 1991, Schumacher made his first foray into F1, representing the Jordan Racing Team in the Belgian Grand Prix. He qualified seventh but failed to complete the first lap of the race due to a clutch failure. This was his only race for Jordan Racing, and he was quickly poached by Benetton. In 1992, Schumacher stood on the F1 podium eight times, including winning the race for the first time in Belgium. At the end of the season, he finished third with 53 points.

In 1993, he finished fourth and won the Portuguese championship. In 1994, Schumacher made the world look at him with admiration. When he competed for the Benetton team, he defeated Senna of the Williams team and won the F1 championship that year. After Senna's death, Schumacher seemed invincible. Although the Benetton team was mired in cheating rumors at the time, they overcame all difficulties such as disqualifications and suspensions. After a controversial incident in Australia, Schumacher defeated Damon Hill by one point to win the championship. Nine victories later, Schumacher won his second F1 championship. In 1996, Schumacher moved to Ferrari. That year, he maximized the performance of the unreliable Ferrari car and won three championships. Competition intensified in 1997, with him winning Monaco, France, Canada, Belgium and Japan, and going into the final race in Hercules, Spain, one point ahead of Williams driver Villeneuve. Race at Leith. The race was once again controversial when the two cars collided. Villeneuve continued the race and won the championship, but Schumacher was disqualified by the FIA. In 1998, the reliability of Ferrari racing cars was greatly enhanced, and Michael Schumacher was determined to win. Although McLaren took the lead at the beginning of the season, Schumacher did not give up and drove the Ferrari car to catch up and win 6 races. In the final competition, although Schumacher won the starting position, his start was not ideal, and then he suffered a puncture during the race, thus losing the chance to win the championship for the third time. The 1999 season did not go well for Schumacher. He encountered problems in the opening race, but then he quickly took the lead. Just when he was expected to win the championship for Ferrari, tragedy happened. During the first lap of the British Grand Prix, Schumacher broke his leg in an accident and was unable to compete for several months. He could only watch the season continue without being able to do anything. He returned to racing for the final two races of the year. Although Schumacher's teammate Irvine ultimately lost the driver's championship title by a narrow margin, they won the first annual constructor championship for Ferrari since 1983. In the 2000 season, Irvine joined the Jaguar team, and Schumacher began to partner with Barrichello. This season undoubtedly became the most glorious season of Schumacher's racing career. After winning the first three races, the Ferrari ace seemed unstoppable in his bid for the title. Although some mistakes in the middle of the season greatly reduced Schumacher's advantage over the McLaren drivers, Schumacher's determination to win the championship did not waver. After the penultimate round in Suzuka, Japan, Schumacher won his third world championship and the first driver's title for Ferrari in 21 years. He also won the Constructors' Championship for Ferrari after the final race in Malaysia. In 2001, Ferrari and Schumacher dominated from the first race in Australia to the last race in Japan. In 17 races, Schumacher broke countless records and won his fourth world championship in advance in the fifth to last race in Hungary. He now holds the record for most Grands Prix wins, surpassing Alain Prost's 51 wins and Juan Manuel Fangio's five world titles. With a firmer determination and a stronger Ferrari team, he started the 2002 season. From the eleventh stop of the season to the end of the entire 2002 season, the German star broke records again and again, proving his championship strength. There was also a disgraceful scene in Austria in 2002. Teammate Barrichello was forced to give up the victory to Schumacher due to team instructions. What followed was a series of boos from the fans towards the world champion standing on the podium. . The move is still hotly debated.

In the 2003 season, Schumacher, Raikkonen and Montoya launched a fierce competition for the championship title, but the chaotic United States Grand Prix made another world championship become Schumacher's bag. At the same time, the German car king won the The number of drivers' championship titles has also increased to 6. In the 2004 season, Michael Schumacher once again dominated the F1 field. He won 12 of the first 13 races. In addition, he won the championship again in the penultimate grand prix of the season, the Japanese Grand Prix. In 2004, he won 13 times. It may be difficult for us to see anyone break Schumacher's record of seven driver championships in the future. In the 2005 season, due to insufficient performance of the car, Schumacher only won the U.S. race where Michelin tires stopped racing. Won third place as a driver. Renault's performance in the 2006 season was truly astonishing, and Schumacher also had an inextricable battle with Alonso. In each tough race, Schumacher accumulated his own advantages, and in the penultimate stop of the Japanese Suzuki race On the road, Ferrari had a rare cylinder explosion accident, which ultimately caused the car king to miss the eighth world championship. This was an unexpected ending, but we still admit that the car king's farewell had no regrets and was as wonderful as ever. On November 3, 2009, the 2009 ROC World Championship Nations Cup final kicked off. In the end, the German team represented by Schumacher and Vettel defeated the new F1 world champion Button and British driver Prix 2-1. , helped the German team win the championship, and won the ROC Nations Cup championship for the third time after 2007 and 2008. At the same time, in the individual competition, Schumacher unfortunately lost to Swedish driver Ekstr?m at a slight disadvantage and won the driver's individual runner-up. Since the F1 World Grand Prix was held in 1950, it has produced 27 champions so far, 13 of whom have won the championship twice or more. Among them, Juan Manuel Fangio won five championships in one championship. This record eclipsed other championship drivers and remained unbroken for fifty years. Now, Michael Schumacher has become a new generation of superstar with his seven championships. His achievements have surpassed those of his predecessors and is unparalleled among drivers of his generation. And he seems to show no signs of retreating at all.

Schumacher wrote in a statement released on his official website: "I really tried everything to get it (the old injury) temporarily restored, but, to my great regret, it didn't work. Unfortunately, we The neck pain caused by Mugello's private F1 test car could not be controlled, even though we tried all means including medicine and physical therapy." The 40-year-old Schumacher was originally scheduled to compete in the F1 European Grand Prix on the 23rd of this month. Returned to compete, replacing Brazilian driver Massa who was injured in the previous race. Ferrari also officially announced Schumacher's return on July 30. After Schumacher announced his comeback, he rented a Ferrari F2007 car for a day of testing at the Mugello circuit in Italy. After that test, Schumacher felt neck pain. Even so, Schumacher did another day of recovery testing in a kart last week. Just the day before Schumacher announced that he would give up on his comeback, he was once again loaned to the F2007 racing car and planned to continue testing at Mugello today and tomorrow. Starting last year, Schumacher, who had retired at home, became obsessed with motorcycle racing. But a high-speed crash during a race in February this year caused serious neck injuries. After the Mugello test, Schumacher said he still felt pain in his neck. Yesterday's medical examination showed that Schumacher's injured neck was unable to withstand the high-intensity centrifugal force caused by F1 racing. Schumacher had no choice but to give up his comeback plan. Injury process: Michael. Schumacher participated in a motorcycle test in Cartagena, Spain. He drove a Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade racing car (190 horsepower) and entered the first left turn on the straightaway at a speed of about 110 kilometers per hour. It was normal. Because the braking action was too late, sparks flew off one side of the car on the track, and then it lost control and fell off the track. The experienced Dai Shi took a self-protective action and slid into the buffer zone next to the ground. The car rushed towards the tire wall with greater inertia. During the process, Dashu's helmet also had a slight collision with the asphalt track... He was immediately sent to a local hospital called Virgen de Arrixaca. The examination results showed that the car king was blessed by good luck and there were no serious injuries. . But it turned out that the neck injury caused him to miss his comeback plan. Ferrari announced the selection of 38-year-old Italian test driver Luca Badoer to replace Massa in the F1 European Grand Prix.
