Quote

Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.

First, you have to finish.
Michael Schumacher

I will do everything I can to bring the number one to Ferrari. The whole team and all the fans deserve it.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I decided on a vision. I think I maybe join Toyota at the midpoint of a project, whose long-term goal is winning world championships. Also I have my big ambition, the drivers' world championship. That is not abandoned - entirely the opposite. I am young enough and motivated enough to make a new start in order to reach this goal.
Michael Schumacher
Image
My time with Ferrari was wonderful. I have found friends and had experiences that I would not want to be without.

Psychologically speaking, it's very important to be in good shape. I work in a sport that requires you to react quickly and be in excellent shape. Besides, things don't get easier as you get older.

Mika Hakkinen was the best opponent (I've had) in terms of his quality, but the biggest admiration I had for him was we had 100% fight on track but a totally disciplined life off track. We respected each other highly and let each other live quietly.
Michael Schumacher

If I didn't even stand a chance of winning races and competing for the title, I don't think I would be that interested in continuing my career.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I have what you might call the South Pole and the North Pole. I have my team and my work, which I do on one side, and I have my family and my home on the other side. Both have nothing really to do with each other.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
Michael Schumacher
Image
Losing composure is pointless.
Michael Schumacher
Image
In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.
Michael Schumacher
Image
When you are part of a community for 14 years, it inevitably shapes you. I will always have a part of Ferrari beside me a part of my heart will always be red.
Michael Schumacher
Image
My kids are not known, and I think that is very important. So far they have lived a normal life, and will continue to do so. I feel they should have the possibility to live a free life without the burden of fame I have created.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I don't feel like promising big things to my fans. I'm not thinking about victory at all. I'll do my best to get on the podium at least, although I must admit I feel fairly pessimistic.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I cant really imagine life without Formula One.
Michael Schumacher
Image
I just want to be known as a very normal person and be treated as that and be able to walk down the street like anyone else.
Michael Schumacher
Image
People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.
