Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher is a famous 'Formula One' racer who developed a passion for the sport at a very young age. Though his parents were not well-off, they did everything they could to support him financially and emotionally. By the age of 14, Schumacher showed an innate talent for racing. He competed and won in numerous junior championships. By the age of 22, he had proved his mettle, and was signed by the 'Jordan Grand Prix' racing team to compete in the prestigious 'Formula One' championship. For almost 15 years, he participated in the championships, carving a niche for himself in the racing circuit. He teamed up with major brands like 'Benetton,' 'Mercedes,' and 'Ferrari.' He was the face of 'Ferrari' for more than ten years. He won the 'Formula One' championship on seven occasions, scoring high points in almost all the races in every season. After 15 years of racing, he retired for a brief period before making a short-lived comeback. After his second retirement, he settled down in Switzerland with his family. In 2013, he suffered head injury while skiing, resulting in paralysis and memory loss. He was put into a medically induced coma for six months to help him cope with the trauma. In 2019, former ‘Ferrari’ manager Jean Todt confirmed that Michael Schumacher was making good progress. However, he also said that he continues to struggle to communicate.
