The anniversary book
Featuring a foreword by Lewis Hamilton
An era-defining honor! All seven of Michael Schumacher's Formula 1 world champion cars are outstanding examples of what is possible when people and machines are perfectly coordinated in sporting competition. They have changed an athlete, a sport, even an entire sporting nation.
In November 1994, Michael became the first German Formula 1 World Champion in the Benetton-Ford.
We are celebrating this anniversary with an opulent illustrated book in an unusual format and tell the story of the unique career of the record-breaking champion.
In this opulent illustrated book in an unusual format, the world champion cars tell of the unique career of the record champion. It is a very special collection, which, together with the personal memories of his manager and confidante Sabine Kehm and the background knowledge of Formula 1expert Elmar Brümmer, condenses into an unusual biography of the Formula-One-Icon. A glimpse into the inner workings of top-level motorsport from unusual perspectives.
Beyond the brilliant images by photographers Wolfgang Wilhelm and Thorsten Doerk, it is the closeness to racing drivers and race cars and the emotions associated with them that characterise this tribute. In a very personal foreword from legend to legend, F1 Great Lewis Hamilton writes about how much Michael Schumacher inspired and influenced him.
The book is not only about the iconic vehicles from Benetton and Ferrari, but also about virtues and triumphs, genius and destiny. All the great sporting moments can be relived in the accompanying text chapters. Technology and people are examined up close and from sometimes unseen perspectives. Winning cars move, even when they are standing still. This allows insights into the cockpit and under the engine cover, with great attention to detail and a very unique aesthetic.
