MICHAEL SCHUMACHER   
Biography
The Formula 1 grid should be quaking in their boots because Michael Schumacher reckons he will get even better now he is free of the pressure to end Ferrari's championship drought.

Schumacher has been the dominant figure in F1 ever since Ayrton Senna died in 1994 but only had two championships to show for it until last season.

His personal mission to bring the drivers' title back to Maranello for the first time in 21 years finally ended when he crossed the finishing line in Suzuka last October.

Despite a spirited defence from reigning champion Mika Hakkinen, few F1 fans could deny Schumacher deserved his third title.

Schumacher graduated to Formula 1 in 1991, after serving his apprenticeship in German F3 and sportscars.

Jordan gave him his chance in Belgium where he qualified a sensational seventh. Alerted to his potential, Benetton boss Flavio Briatore poached him within a fortnight.

He quickly became a regular on the podium and scored his first victory at Spa in 1992.

His career took off in 1994, when he won eight races on his way to the championship. But as ever with Schumacher, controversy was never far away and the German was given a two-race ban for passing Damon Hill on the parade lap at Silverstone.
