Emotional Belgium Grand Prix

It was the 25th Anniversary of Michael Schumacher's first Formula One win and that win occurred at the Spa- Francorchamps circuit.

Not only was this the Anniversary of Michael's first win, Lewis Hamilton tied Schumacher's pole record of 68 poles at this weekends race. (Schumacher is still suffering from a head injury sustained in a skiing accident in December 2013). Ross Brawn, the Managing Director of Formula One and former Race Engineer at Benetton and Ferrari during the Schumacher years), delivered a message to Hamilton from Corinna (Michaels wife) and the Schumachers.


 “I’m here to deliver a very special message from Corinna Schumacher and the Schumacher family, who want to congratulate you on equalling Michael’s record,” said Brawn. “As they said, Michael always said that records are there to be broken, so they want to send their very special thanks,"



To mark the 25th anniversary of Micheal's first win, the 1994 Benetton Championship car was driven onto the track. The driver was Mick Schumacher, he sported a helmet which was half his colors and half his fathers.
