In the case of poor performance of experienced teammate Zanaldi, Schumacher shouldered the burden and scored 35 points.His performance in 1998 can be said that there was a world of difference when he broke up with the Jordan team. In that year, he had a hard time with the Jordan team, and almost went to court.When Michael Schumacher was at the Jordan team, he never got ahead. When he came to Williams team, he almost won the championship in the European Grand Prix. He really answered that sentence, "The tree moves to death, the man moves to life".
Zanaldi, the two time Karting champion, gradually faded out, and Schumacher Jr. gradually gained the position of No. 1 driver.In 1999, he still had to take the responsibility of being the number one driver and set an example for the new young driver Button.The maturing Schumacher Jr. will work closely with Button to usher in another spring for Williams.

I didn't blame Jackies
Two weeks after the accident occurred in the first race of the 2001 F1 Grand Prix in Australia, people have repeatedly talked about the safety of F1. Just as the Malaysian Grand Prix is about to start this weekend, Ralph Schumacher (Schumacher, Jr.) of Williams, the two drivers most directly related to the accidentThere was also a small dispute with Jackies Villeneuve of the British and American team.
Ralf Schumacher
Villeneuve had just said that it was wrong for Schumacher to blame himself for the accident, and Schumacher stood up and declared: I did not blame Jackies.But in Schumacher's words, he still thinks it is a thoughtless thing."I really didn't make any comment on Jackies, and I don't intend to do that. For me, things are over." Schumacher said in Malaysia, "but you can't blame a racing driver for this, can you? We all do things that are not considered, and I have done many stupid things, which happen from time to time.You can see the situation through the TV broadcast: I tried to defend my position on the straight, which I have said many times. I was speeding in the inner circle, and my brake was slightly slower than the indicator light in front of me, so Jackies also missed the right time to brake.I want to say that some things can happen to any of us, not to mention that we were focused on catching up with the car ahead.As a driver, sometimes I always miss the opportunity to brake. I think this is what happened to Jackies.You have all seen what has happened. All of us are sad about this tragedy, and we also express our condolences to the families of the victims. "
Schumacher Jr. suggested that the organizers of F1 Grand Prix establish the highest possible barrier and keep the spectators away from the track."I will not reduce the speed of the car," Schumacher added, "I will keep the audience away from the track, I will build a higher fence, but I am not a safety expert. For our drivers, what we can do is to control the car more with our minds, and drive more 'gently' in some areas to avoid a repeat of the tragedy.""I hope I can set the clock back, but nobody can do that. All we can do is to improve safety standards, which is the same for our drivers and FIA."
Ralph didn't want to stay in F1
Ralph Schumacher said in the latest issue of Auto Sport magazine that at the end of 2007, he repeatedly stressed that he would continue to stay in the F1 arena in 2008, just to seek peace.The 33 year old German driver has recently announced his move to DTM.
Ralph Schumacher and Toyota announced their separation at the end of 2007Indian PowerDuring the test, both he and his friends told the media that they would continue to stay in F1 in 2008, but they failed to come true in the end.Recently, Ralph Schumacher explained the reason why he made the comment.
"I did make such comments, but my situation has not changed." Ralph Schumacher said in Auto Sport magazine, "I just said (I will stay in F1), because there were many people talking about it at that time, and the situation of Toyota team was very difficult. So I just wanted to end the season calmly." Then,The brother of the seven time champion told the reason why he tested India's strength."During the winter, I did do some tests, but it was only for my friendsForce India VijayMallya, one of the owners).I never really regarded it (referring to joining Indian forces) as an option in 2008. "Ralph Schumacher said
On the evening of February 18, Beijing time, German Mercedes announced that Ralph Schumacher would representMercedes BenzThe team competed in the 2008 German DTM Touring Car Championship.
Ralph, 32, the younger brother of Michael Schumacher, the seven time F1 world champion, left the Toyota F1 team at the end of the 2008 season.The 2009 German DTM motorhome race will be unveiled on April 13 at Hockenheim, Germany, and Ralph will make his debut."I like this race, I like this environment, and I like the enthusiastic audience here," said Schumacher Jr., whose six F1 race winners also made him the second most successful German F1 driver after his brother Michael Schumacher."I like Mercedes. It was because of them that I had the first opportunity to drive an F1 chariot in 1996. If I accepted the invitation of McLaren Mercedes in 1997 to become a test driver, who would know what my F1 career would be like?" "At that time, I wanted to drive. More than 10 years later, I still aspire to participate," Schumacher said,In 1997, he made his debut in F1 Grand Prix on behalf of Jordan Team.
After Williams reached the peak of his career, Schumacher came to Toyota and became one of the highest paid drivers in F1.However, in the past few years, Schumacher did not bring the expected good results to Toyota, and his aura of "top driver" gradually faded, and he finally parted ways with Toyota after the end of last season.
Although Schumacher's first choice in 2008 was still the F1 Grand Prix, he failed to find a place among 22 official drivers, and the sky high annual salary became the main problem that hindered him."Of course, I know that neither the media nor the audience think I am the greatest driver in F1 history, which is not my goal," said Schumacher Jr
Norbert Haug, head of Mercedes' sports department, expects Schumacher Jr. to open a new chapter in his racing career in the DTM motorhome race."I think in his first year of DTM, his achievements are not the most important, but to fight and struggle like a man," Haug said.
