World Champion car Michael Schumacher

The world champion's cars

Among the "relics" of past Formula 1 World Championships, the winning cars occupy a very special place. Only when driver and car complement each other perfectly, when they form a kind of symbiosis, can such exceptional performance be achieved. And even when the driver has long since moved on years and decades later, the cars remain as a snapshot of victory. The seven cars with which Michael Schumacher won his World Championship titles between 1994 and 2004 bear witness to his development from champion to serial winner.

They remain a testament to an exceptional driver whose achievements have yet to be surpassed. This volume showcases the championship-winning cars, still surrounded by a special aura, through exquisite studio photography. Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, and SZ author Elmar Brümmer explore the phenomenon of Michael Schumacher – the driver, but also the man behind the camera. With a foreword by Lewis Hamilton.
