Tribute Schumi Bashny.Net

Hello. I have to say. I've never been a fan of Michael Schumacher. German driver I have more associated with the various scandals in which he was involved, rather than with his glorious career pilot and seven league titles. Then I decided to present it in an interesting light. I will not tell you what you can read in Wikipedia: his championship title or the manner of flying. I want to tell you interesting things that will interest even the fan of Michael.

That's my theme author, prepared with the support of the Formula 1 YaPlakal

Schumacher - Formula 1 phenomenon - a man in his career, pobivshy all possible records. Probably what I say is not enough. Or maybe you feel that I have praised too little "Grand Champion" or, on the contrary, is not specifically affected dishonest career highlights, rider that dirty procured their titles. Therefore, I chose this approach. Interesting aspects related to the life of Michael will be interesting to all fans of the sport and not just a certain group of fans of Formula 1.
Someone thinks that the "Schumacher" Only a great brand Willy Weber, and Schumacher was lucky to be at the wheel in 1991. Partly agree Schumacher - brand "No. 1" in the sport. Companies are willing to pay millions of dollars that would have them face became Schumacher. In the days of hegemony Ferrari (2000-2004), taking into account all sponsorship fees Michael received 50 million a year. Such wages do not have any athlete. Even after a career at Ferrari at the German had personal sponsors, big corporations, which he represented, even outside the cockpit F1 car. Well, his manager Weber need to say thank you: it was he who, after the vacant place in Jordan (The pilot of the Gachot was jailed), pushed his protege to the team, and then, thanks to the successful performance of Michael in the Belgian Grand Prix 1991. Received for its pilot a lucrative contract with the team Benetton. Well, after the Italian stable has built a team around Michael, making a bet on him, which he justified, winning two league titles in 1994 and 1995.

Fireballs, which Schumi champion

The first and the last race of Michael. 20 years in Formula 1

Helmut Karel, a sports journalist, recalling his first meeting with Michael, argues that just as easily, without stress, Schumi relates to race, you can not say that this pilot is capable of winning races.
Helmut went to cover the Macau Grand Prix in 1990 (f-3 championship WTS). And then, for the first time faced with Michael around the paddock. He played football in racing overalls. With him playing boys 14-15 years old, and Michael does not stand out: with the same enthusiasm as others kicked the ball. Karel learned that the boy called Michael Schumacher as the German newspapers wrote - a future star of motor racing.
"How can it safely play football when such an important starting tomorrow? - Thought Karel. - And that's the main hope of the German motor racing? All pilots are preparing for the race, analyze their behavior on the road, studying rivals, and he plays football ... »
Karel changed his mind when he saw the pilot of the next day on the highway - such a mature and confident pilotage he could not expect from youth. All the fun dissolved, Michael was collected and confident as ever took turns.
Schumacher won the prestigious race, ahead of serious contenders (one of them was Mika Hakkinen) and genuinely happy after his victory, as a child, was also happy, as it was the day back on the football field.

Michael plays football for a team of pilots of F-1.

With the first season of his tenure in F1 Schumacher she showed everyone that exercise before and after the Grand Prix can be fun. German big fan of tennis, go for a run in the morning, in the company of someone or cycling.

The first victory in the formula. Genuine joy. Belgium 1992

European Grand Prix 1994 is remarkable that on the podium were people who at that time was not a single title. In the future, the three of them have won 10 titles. (D.Hill (1996), M.Shumaher (1994-1995, 2000-2004), M.Hakkinen (1998-1999).)

A little bit of text, I would like to dedicate the situation in the 1999 season, after Schumacher crashed at the British GP and broke his leg. At the forefront of the struggle came Finn Hakkinen with yourself, and try to become a full E.Irvayna number one for the rest of the championship. Mika Hakkinen already confidently collect points that season, much relaxed, having lost motivation after the crash Schumi at Silverstone. Having made a number of unforced errors in a row in several Grand Prix, Mika, he was unable to break away from his closest pursuer in the title race Edii Irvine. The culmination was the flight to the Italian Grand Prix, when having a good chance to break away from a lot, started eighth, Irvine, Mika on his own mistake, went off the road and out of the race. At the same time, Eddie, inspired by fallen down a chance, can not gather the strength and bring high-quality race: his new team-mate, the Finn Mika Salo, and then passes it forward during the Grand Prix, and on German soil even donates win new the "first violin". On the formation, which, Irvine always hinted leadership Ferrari. By the way, more than angry Irishman in the press, or to the head of Luca di Montezemolo, rather than fussing for wins on the track.
Such an event as the long-awaited championship title for the Italian rider stables, funneling through your fingers. And the second half of the season the team McLaren won at the Ferraris on pure speed on the track. Then, to try to reach the elusive chance, the team asks not yet get in shape Schumacher back in the race and help Eddie to take the title. Schumacher showed he is ready to help the team in every way when from him such help is needed. The balance of the season, Schumi as he could, Irvine helped in the fight for the title. Yes, some fans that dislike sevenfold, consider that in the last race of the season, on the road in Japan, Michael deliberately did not fight with the winner of the grand prix in the championship, Mika Hakkinen. But that was not the case. Schumacher struggled to win, to realize their desire to always be the first, just that this race was not his, and that the championship was not the pilots of the Red Stables.
Those moments of 1999, when Schumacher was on sick leave, showed the importance of Michael for the Italian team. Without their leader, Ferrari did not know what to do, and this results in a loss of points on the track. Michael is one of those people, who embodies everything that he does. He is a leader, both in boxing team, and on the track, the German is able to help the team with his presence alone.

Another, earlier moment of confrontation, Schumi-Hakkinen.

This season went down in history of the Royal race. On the track, Michael broke the various records. The most impressive record - Michael podiums. He was on the podium in all 17 races of the season.

After returning in 2010, Schumacher has only once managed to get up on the podium. In Valencia in 2012, starting with 12 places, Michael was able to finish in third place.
But most importantly his achievement on the track, Schumacher showed in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix 2012. Ahead of all its competitors, Michael showed the best time, but was fine in the 5 positions at the start due to a collision at the previous Grand Prix

According to eyewitnesses, after the trophies were awarded to the winner's "Grand Prix of Japan", and after all the press conferences and interviews, six-time world champion Michael Schumacher, his brother Ralf Schumacher and the pilot Olivier Panis have decided to relax a little.
Before the accident who came in the VIP area of mechanics and journalists appeared the following picture: among the fragments of empty bottles, puddles of spilled champagne, Michael Schumacher with a cigar in his mouth stubbornly pushing the refrigerator until it fell on its side.
