Michael Schumacher, a German retired racing driver, is a seven-time Formula One World Champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time, earning him the prestigious title of Laureus World Sportsman of the Year twice.
He holds numerous records in Formula One, including the most championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions, and most races won in a single season, with an impressive 13 victories in 2004, a record that was later equalled by fellow German Sebastian Vettel nine years later.
In 2002, Schumacher achieved another remarkable feat, becoming the only driver in Formula One history to finish in the top three in every race of a season, and then went on to break the record for most consecutive podium finishes.
According to the official Formula One website, Schumacher is "statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen", a testament to his exceptional skills and achievements in the world of Formula One.
