Ralf Schumacher (born 30 June 1975) is a German former racing driver. He is the younger brother of seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher, and the pair are the only siblings to each win Formula One races.

Schumacher began karting at the age of three and achieved early success before making the transition to automobile racing in the German Formula Three Championship and the Formula Nippon series. He first drove in Formula One with Jordan Grand Prix for the 1997 season. Schumacher moved to the Williams team in 1999, finishing sixth in the Drivers' Championship that year. He won his first Grand Prix in 2001, en route to fourth place in the Drivers' Championship, and subsequently won five more races over the course of two years.

Schumacher left Williams at the end of 2004 and joined Toyota Racing in 2005. His performance throughout 2006 and 2007 resulted in Schumacher leaving Formula One as a result of internal pressure. After leaving Formula One, Schumacher joined the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) in 2008, achieving minor success, and retired from motorsport at the end of 2012 to enter a managerial role within DTM, mentoring young drivers. He is now a co-commentator for Sky Sport in Germany.

Early life and career

Schumacher was born in Hürth, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany, on 30 June 1975, the second son of Rolf Schumacher, a bricklayer, and his wife Elisabeth. Michael Schumacher is his elder brother. ^[1] He began karting at the age of three driving on his parents' go-kart track in Kerpen. Schumacher's first major karting success came when he clinched the NRW Cup and the Gold Cup in 1991. In 1992, he won the German Junior Kart Championship. He then moved up into the senior series, finishing runner-up. ^[2]

Aged 17, Schumacher moved into car racing, finishing runner-up in the ADAC Junior Formula Championship. This performance allowed Schumacher to test a Formula Three car during 1992, and later took part in a Formula Three event. His testing and one-off appearance in the series caught the attention of WTS Racing, allowing Schumacher to enter the German Formula Three Championship in 1994, where he finished third. He finished fourth and thirtieth in the Macau Grand Prix and the Masters of Formula 3, respectively. ^[2]

His performances in 1995 had improved over the previous year. Schumacher secured pole position and victory in the Macau Grand Prix and finished second in the Masters of Formula 3. In the German Formula Three series, Schumacher took three victories and finished second in the Championship behind Norberto Fontana. ^[2] For 1996, Schumacher's manager Willi Weber secured him a seat in the Formula Nippon Series, driving for the Team Le Mans alongside experienced driver Naoki Hattori. Schumacher won the series on his first attempt, becoming the first rookie driver to clinch the championship. ^[1] In the same year, Schumacher and Hattori entered the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship, winning four races and taking the runner-up spot in the GT500 Championship behind the pairing of David Brabham and John Nielsen. ^{[2] [3]}

Formula One career

Jordan (1997–1998)

1997

In August 1996, Schumacher tested for the McLaren team at Silverstone. ^[4] In September, it was announced that Schumacher had signed a three-year contract to drive for the Jordan team. The deal also brought in a further £8 million from Schumacher's sponsor Bitburger brewery, with a small percentage going towards his salary. ^[5] In January 1997, Giancarlo Fisichella was confirmed as Schumacher's teammate replacing Martin Brundle, who expressed a desire to remain with the team. ^[6] Schumacher believed that Brundle's experience would have helped him in the coming season. ^[1]

Schumacher took the first podium of his career in Argentina with third place despite a collision with teammate Fisichella. Further consecutive retirements followed in the next four races before picking up a sixth-place finish in France. Schumacher followed this result by picking up consecutive fifth-place finishes in the following three races. A further two retirements followed in the races in Belgium and Italy, before picking up a fifth-place finish in Austria. Schumacher did not score points in the final three races of the season, which included retirements in the Luxembourg Grand Prix and the European Grand Prix. In his début 1997 season, Schuamcher finished 11th in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 13 points. ^[7]

Like all male German citizens, Schumacher was subject to compulsory military service in the German Armed Forces. ^[8] Outside Formula One, Schumacher participated in the FIA GT Championship as a guest driver for the AMG Mercedes team at the Spa 4 Hours and was partnered by Klaus Ludwig. The pair finished fifth, scoring two points. ^[3]

1998

For 1998, Schumacher remained at Jordan and was partnered by 1996 Drivers' Champion Damon Hill. Schumacher endured a horrid start as he suffered from retirements in the first three races, and managed to finish in the races in San Marino and Spain, albeit outside the points scoring positions. Schumacher suffered from further consecutive retirements in the next two races, and managed to finish 16th in France. He took his and Jordan's first point of the season with a sixth-place finish at the British Grand Prix, before picking up further consecutive points finishes in the next two races. ^[7]

Schumacher went on to secure second place in Belgium behind teammate Hill. Schumacher was issued with team orders to prevent him from overtaking Hill, which caused a strain in the relationship between Schumacher and Jordan. Schumacher managed to take his second consecutive podium with third place in Italy. After this race, it was announced that Schumacher signed a two-year contract to drive for the Williams team, alongside Alessandro Zanardi; with Williams partnering BMW from 2000 onwards, one of BMW's stipulations was to have a German driver in the team. ^[9] Reportedly, this came after Michael Schumacher verbally declared to Eddie Jordan that his younger brother would never race for his team again and offering to buy him out of his contract with the team. According to Jordan himself 22 years later, Schumacher's elder brother actually paid the money of 2 million GBP to terminate his contract. ^[10] He finished the season with consecutive retirements in the final two races, and clinched 10th place in the Drivers' Championship, with 14 points. He was replaced at Jordan for 1999 by Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who left Williams after two generally unsuccessful seasons. ^[7]

Schumacher was able to take further points in the next two races in Spain, Canada, and France. Schumacher took a further podium position with third place in Britain but retired from the next race in Austria due to a spin. He took further points in the German Grand Prix, before taking a ninth-place finish in Hungary. ^[7]

In Belgium, Schumacher took fifth place helped by a one-stop strategy earning him a better finish. ^[1] In October, it was announced that Schumacher's contract was extended to a three-year deal worth $31 million. ^[11] He rounded off the season with a fifth-place finish in Japan. Schumacher finished the 1999 season sixth in the Drivers' Championship, with 35 points. ^[7]

2000

Schumacher continued to drive for Williams in 2000, and was partnered by rookie driver and future World Champion Jenson Button. His season started well as he managed to take third place in the opening race in Australia, ^[12] and clinched fifth position in Brazil. He was forced to retire from the San Marino Grand Prix due to a fuel system issue but managed to clinch consecutive fourth-place finishes in the next two races. ^[7] Schumacher was forced into another retirement as he was caught in a collision involving Eddie Irvine and Jos Verstappen at the European Grand Prix, ^[13] and another retirement followed in Monaco due to a crash where he suffered from a 3-inch cut across his calf. ^[14]

Schumacher won his second career victory in Canadian Grand Prix, with his elder brother Michael Schumacher finishing second; the result marked the first one-two finish by siblings. ^[21] These results were followed by a fourth-place finish at the European Grand Prix, ^[22] and took second place in France. ^[23] He was unable to finish the race in Britain due to a problem with his car's engine. In Germany, Schumacher took his third and final win of the season having started from second on the grid. ^[24] This result marked a good run of form as Schumacher scored points in three of the remaining five races, including a third-place finish in Italy. ^[25] Schumacher finished the 2001 season fourth in the Drivers' Championship, with 49 points. ^[7]

2002

Schumacher in 2002

For 2002, Schumacher announced of his intention to wear glasses over the coming season to improve his vision. ^[26] His decision was influenced after he was involved in a car crash on the Autobahn 3 when driving to visit his family. ^[27] On 14 January, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), Formula One's governing body, gave permission for Schumacher to wear glasses, and his helmet maker Schuberth developed padding with channels for the glass frames. ^[28]

His season started in Australia with a first lap accident where his car was launched into the air after colliding with Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello. ^[29] In the following race in Malaysia, Schumacher took his only victory of the season. ^[30] He followed up the result by taking consecutive podiums in the next two races—a second place in Brazil, ^[31] and a third-place finish in San Marino. ^[32] At the Spanish Grand Prix, Schumacher ran wide on lap 29 while under pressure from teammate Montoya and eventually retired from an engine failure, although he was classified 11th. ^[33] He managed to secure consecutive points finishes in the next two races, with a podium in Monaco. ^[34] He followed these results by finishing in next eight races, which includes consecutive third-place finishes in Germany and Hungary. Schumacher rounded off the year with non-points finishes in the final three rounds which included a retirement in the United States. For the second consecutive season, Schumacher finished fourth in the Drivers' Championship, with 42 points. ^[7]

2003

In 2003, Schumacher again competed with Williams alongside Montoya. He was unable to take part in winter testing in January, prior to the season because of reoccurring back pains, ^[35] although he later returned in February. He endured a good first half of the season, and scored points in the opening seven races and clinched his first podium of the season with second place in Canada. ^[36] Schumacher backed up the results by taking consecutive victories in the European and French Grands Prix. ^[37] At the German Grand Prix, Schumacher retired on the first lap of the race after a collision with Rubens Barrichello and Kimi Räikkönen, for which he received a 10 place grid penalty for the next race. ^[38] Williams successfully appealed against the decision and Schumacher managed to qualify second for the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he finished fourth. ^[7]

At a test held at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Schumacher suffered a high-speed accident where he sustained a concussion. He was taken for a precautionary check at the circuit's medical centre before he was transferred to San Rafaele hospital. ^[39] Although he had participated in the event's first qualifying session, Schumacher decided to withdraw and his place was taken by Williams test driver Marc Gené. ^[40] He returned for the United States Grand Prix, where he retired having suffered an accident resulting from his car sliding on a wet track surface. ^[41] At the season finale in Japan, Schumacher finished 12th despite spinning his car three times. He finished the season fifth in the Drivers' Championship, with 58 points, ^[7] and helped Williams clinch second in the Constructors' Championship. ^[42]

2004

Schumacher remained at Williams for 2004 and continued to be partnered by Montoya. Schumacher was ambitious for the season, saying: "I can say that we'll come up with a car that will be competitive from the very first race of the new season." ^[43] He made a good start to his season by finishing fourth in the opening round in Australia, ^[44] although he retired from the next race in Malaysia from an engine failure. ^[45] He managed to secure consecutive seventh-place finishes in the next two rounds, before finishing outside the points in Monaco. Schumacher was forced into retirement on the opening lap of the European Grand Prix due to a collision. ^[46] At the Canadian Grand Prix, Schumacher qualified on pole position and went on to finish second in the race, but was later disqualified for irregularities on his car's brake ducts. ^[47]

At the United States Grand Prix, Schumacher suffered serious injuries in an accident that occurred on the ninth lap of the race. The deceleration was measured at 78 g ^[48] (765 m/s²), resulting in a concussion as well as two minor fractures to his spinal column. Schumacher was forced to miss the next six races. As in 2003, Gené substituted for Schumacher for the races in France and Britain, with Antônio Pizzonia taking over the role for the next four races. ^[49] In July, Schumacher signed a three-year contract with the Toyota team. ^[50] Although he was passed fit for the Italian Grand Prix, ^[51] Schumacher ultimately returned for the Chinese Grand Prix, where he retired from a puncture. ^[52] Schumacher followed up the result by taking second place in Japan, ^[53] and a fifth place at the final round in Brazil. ^[54] He finished the season ninth in the Drivers' Championship, with 24 points. ^[7]

Toyota (2005–2007)

2005

For 2005, Schumacher was partnered by Jarno Trulli at Toyota and was hopeful about his prospects for the upcoming season. ^[55] Schumacher secured his first two points scores of the season in Malaysia and Bahrain, ^{[56] [57]} and later finished outside the points in San Marino due to taking a 25-second penalty after finishing eighth due to causing an incident in his pitstops. ^[58] Schumacher followed this up with consecutive points finishes in the next two races. He retired due to a spin during the European Grand Prix. ^[59]

During the second practice session of the United States Grand Prix, Schumacher lost control of his car entering the final corner of the circuit, which resulted from a tyre failure. ^[60] He was forced to miss the event and was replaced by Toyota test driver Ricardo Zonta. ^[61] Schumacher returned for the French Grand Prix and began a run of four consecutive points scoring positions which included a podium finish in Hungary, ^[62] and later finished outside the points in Turkey. This marked a turning point as Schumacher scored in all of the remaining races and took a podium position in the season finale in China. ^[63] He finished the season sixth place in the Drivers' Championship, and helped Toyota clinch fourth in the Constructors' Championship. ^[7]

2006

Schumacher continued at Toyota and was again partnered by Trulli for 2006. He was ambitious for the upcoming season, saying: "We're looking to win some races. That's what our target should be and let's hope it's a realistic one." ^[64] He started the season with a non-points finish in Bahrain as both Toyota cars were off the pace. ^[65] Schumacher managed to score his and Toyota's first points of the season with eighth place in Malaysia. ^[66] He managed to secure his and Toyota's only podium finish of the season in Australia. ^[67]

Schumacher took ninth place in San Marino but suffered consecutive retirements in the next three races.

2007

Schumacher remained at Toyota and continued to be partnered by Trulli for 2007. Despite Toyota's performances during 2006, Schumacher was optimistic for the upcoming season. ^[69] Schumacher took eighth position at the opening round in Australia, and finished outside the points-scoring positions in the next two rounds. At the Spanish Grand Prix, he was involved in a collision with Williams driver Alexander Wurz and eventually retired with a mechanical issue. After finishing 16th at the Monaco Grand Prix, it was reported that Toyota were unhappy with his performances and faced pressure of possibly being replaced before the season concluded. ^[70] Despite taking eighth place in Canada, Toyota Motorsport vice-chairman Tadashi Yamashina publicly urged Schumacher to improve his performances as he had qualified 18th for the race. ^[71]

At the next Grand Prix in the United States, Schumacher spun off in the first corner and collided with the cars of David Coulthard and Rubens Barrichello. To ensure a greater chance of retaining his seat at Toyota, he offered to accept a $17 million pay cut. Schumacher did not finish the races at the British Grand Prix, ^[72] and the European Grand Prix from a mechanical failure and a collision with BMW Sauber driver Nick Heidfeld, respectively. ^{[72] [73]} Schumacher later scored a further point for Toyota in Hungary, before taking consecutive finishes outside the points in the next three races. He was unable to finish the race in Japan having sustained a puncture. ^[72] On 1 October, it was announced by Schumacher that he would leave Toyota at the end of the season. ^[74] Schumacher spun off in the next race in China and secured an 11th-place finish in the season finale in Brazil. Schumacher ended his final season in Formula One 16th in the Drivers' Championship, with 5 points. ^[7]

Attempted comebacks

Before and after his departure from Toyota, Schumacher was linked to several teams in Formula One. He held talks with long-time mentor and Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost about a possible drive for the team, ^[75] who ultimately opted to sign Sebastian Vettel and Sébastien Bourdais. Schumacher later approached McLaren to enquire about a seat that was vacated by Fernando Alonso; ^[76] he was later turned down. Despite these setbacks, Schumacher remained certain that a Formula One seat would be available for 2008. ^[77]

Schumacher's final participation in Formula One came at a test held for the newly formed Force India team in December 2007. This was a bid to secure a race seat alongside fellow German Adrian Sutil. During the test, Schumacher was the slowest driver, and later announced that he would not join the team for 2008, and that the possibility of participating in Formula One would be unlikely. ^[78] After spending two seasons away from the sport, Schumacher's experience made him a target for the new teams US F1, Hispania (HRT), Virgin, and Lotus that entered the 2010 season, all of whom he rejected. ^[79]
