He wasborn on 3 January 1969.Schumacher is a seven-time World Champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. He holds many of the formula's driver records, including mostchampionships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions, points scored and most races won in a single season in 2004.In 2002 he became the only driver in Formula One history to finish in the top threein every race of a season and then also broke the record for most consecutive podium finishes.
He started his career with the Benetton team in 1991 and later he moved to Ferrari team in 1996 andwon five consecutive titles. Schumacher retired from Formula one driving in 2006 and he came back in 2009. Michael and his younger brother Ralf Schumacher are the only brothers to win races in FormulaOne, and they were the first brothers to finish 1st and 2nd in the same race, in Montreal in 2001, and there again in 2003.
