#schumacher

Printed as an insert to a cd Power Formel

Once again translated by me, 0 german knowledge, just DeepL and hope for the best

So without further ado please STAND UP FOR THE CHAMPION

As you might know nothing says international stardom and love as well as a thank-you-and-goodbye cd, so here you go "best songs from 15 years of Michael's career". One song per year I guess, seeing that there are 15 songs and a bonus track

First we have this anthem which is clearly go west by pet shop boys, hehe, but slower and more pretentious

I liked that they included Modern Talking's song that was apparently an F1 anthem in 2001

Unfortunately nothing prepared me for the bonus track where Scorpions are fighting for their lives performing a cover of Queen's We are the champions (they just swapped we for you and imo it doesn't work very well cause the song is from a first person perspective)

Unfortunately it's unavailable on Spotify (at least in my region) so you can find it on Youtube or in my telegram

Now to the booklet

BEAR IN MIND I DON'T KNOW GERMAN AT ALL - EVERYTHING IS MACHINE TRANSLATED

If there mistakes, comment/text me I'll correct them

IF YOU KNOW GERMAN PLEASE HIT ME UP I HAVE AUDIO INTERVIEWS I NEED HELP WITH

MONZA, 10 SEPTEMBER 2006, 15:37. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FORMULA 1 DRIVER OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF GERMANY’S GREATEST SPORTING ICONS ANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM MOTORSPORT – IN STYLE, FOLLOWING A VICTORY. MICHAEL SCHUMACHER IS LEAVING. HE LEAVES BEHIND HIS WORDS FROM MONZA AS A MESSAGE TO HIS FANS:

Nothing I could say now would be grand enough or fitting for what the fascinating world of motorsport has given me. From go-karting to Formula 1, I have experienced moments I will never forget. For that, I am deeply grateful. At the same time, I would like to thank everyone who has accompanied, supported and inspired me from a young age. A special thank you goes above all to Corinna and our two children, who have given me the strength to do what I have done. To be at the top, you need a great deal of strength, energy and motivation. I’m not sure whether I’ll still be able to muster all that in the future. And simply tagging along isn’t something I can settle for. Soon, my future will belong to my family. But I’m delighted to be able to continue working with Ferrari.

WILLI WEBER: The great champions are never forgotten. Michael Schumacher will always remain an international superstar. His name stands for success, determination, consistency, discipline and loyalty. Michael and I will continue to work together even after he retires, because our partnership represents a unique success story. Over the course of nearly 20 years, we have long since become much more than just like-minded partners: we are best friends.

LUCA DI MONTEZEMOLO: No one will ever be able to achieve what Michael Schumacher has achieved with and for Ferrari.

JEAN TODT: As a driver, he is a legend. As a man, he is a star

Michael Schumacher is the most successful driver in the history of the long-established Formula 1. He has won more world championship titles than any other driver, as well as more race victories, more pole positions, more championship points and more fastest laps. The very best. Michael Schumacher always wanted nothing more than to race – with four wheels around him, locked in a duel with his rivals. He had immense fun doing it; he relished the limits the car imposed; he loved the competition. A racing driver brimming with passion for his sport. Together with Ferrari, he ushered in a golden era at the start of this millennium, one of total dominance. No driver has ever been part of a team for longer, no driver has ever been more successful within a team. No one drove like him. A driving legend even in his own lifetime. A champion. For many, the greatest of all time.

WILLY KNUPP (RTL F1 COORDINATOR): During our long-standing collaboration, I came to know Michael as a straightforward, honest person who was a pleasure to work with. For me, there are two Michael Schumachers: the racing driver, for whom only victory counts – and the exceptionally tender husband and father. I wish him all the very best in the latter role.

FLORIAN KÖNIG: The 2007 Formula 1 season will be something completely new and unfamiliar for me. After all, I’ve never experienced Formula 1 without Michael. I’ll miss him – the unique driver Michael Schumacher – but not just him, above all the man Michael!

KAI EBEL: Over 15 years and more than 1,000 interviews, I’ve witnessed the transformation of a young racing driver into a living legend. Looking at the old photos, it strikes me: thank goodness it’s not just the man with the microphone who’s getting older.
