Michael Schumacher celebrates his 300th race.
The formula for success is persistence. When Michael
Schumacher lines up on the starting grid for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team at
the Spa Francorchamps on Sunday, it will be his 300th Grand Prix start. A feat
only one other driver has achieved. Added to this is Michael's impressive
record of 91 race wins, 155 podiums, 68 pole positions and 77 fastest laps to
his name.
Spa Francorchamps is where it all began for Michael. It was
on the very same track that he made his Formula One debut with Jordan, back in
1991. It also has a special place in his heart as he won his first Grand Prix
here in 1992 and took home his last world championship title in 2004. It comes
as no surprise then that he has been made an honorary citizen of Spa. Speaking
about Spa, Michael comments, "Spa is like my living room. For me, it's
clearly the number one racetrack in the world.”
At
43 years of age Michael is completely committed to the sport. On the eve of
this momentous race, Michael stated - "Formula One is the ultimate racing
and if you're involved, you're only involved because you want to do the best
that you can do." He will be commemorating this special race with a new helmet design, crafted for this occasion.
