Michael Schumacher's first F1 race championship was in 1994 with Benetton. He won another for Benetton in 1995, before transferring to Ferrari the following year.

Schumacher spent eleven years with Ferrari where he won five consecutive championships. He had a total of seven world championships. Officially, the FIA has accorded him the title "statistically greatest driver ever."

Schumacher first retired in 2006. However, he returned to the track for Mercedes in 2010 and raced until 2012. In 2013, tragedy struck when he was involved in a skiing accident. He has been on a slow road to recovery since then.

Foxsports.com reports that Michael Shumacher continues to undergo treatment at his home in Switzerland. However, the German racer's son Mick is also competing in the racing circuit. The younger Shumacher is in the Formula 4 and competed in the Italian and German championships. He is expected to compete in the F3 races in a few short months, making him the next Shumacher to watch out for in the racing arena.
