Michael Schumacher (born January 3, 1969, in Kerpen, near Cologne) is a German Formula One racer and statistically the greatest driver of all time. He is also the first and only German to win the drivers' championship.
Schumacher is the most notable figure in the recent history of Formula 1, as well as one of the most respected and well-paid figures in world sport, holding a great portion of all Formula 1 records, including most victories, most pole positions (jointly held with Ayrton Senna), most championship points and a record seven World Drivers' Championship Titles.
