On December 29, 2013, Michael Schumacher suffered serious head injuries in a tragic skiing accident. Since then, the 7-time Formula 1 world champion has disappeared from the world’s sights. And it’s still there. Especially in Formula 1, where his opponents could equal the record of 7 titles but could not surpass it. The five-part series “Being Michael Schumacher” by Andreas Troll follows the boy’s path from the kart track at the gravel pit in Kerpen to an icon of motorsport. A global star who dominates the Formula 1 tracks without compromise, but never forgets his origins. A person who only opens his visor in rare moments and reveals a shy, very friendly and humorous character. Someone who is no longer visible in public, but who always remains.
