Schumacher

A wonderfully inspiring sports documentary that focuses on the racing legend's iconic rise, Schumacher is a shining example of the good stuff that Netflix is capable of producing. The documentary really humanizes the larger-than-life Schumacher - as a friend, a colleague, a family member, and an excellent racecar driver - all perspectives well-rooted and covered in equal measure. Even his competent peers only had the greatest things to say about him. The makers thankfully do not relegate it to a sheer puff-piece by also showcasing Schumacher's vulnerabilities and struggles before he became 7-time World Champion. It also doesn't resort to excessive melodrama and focuses less on the accident that rendered him catatonic. Private matters stay strictly private. It's a competently made tribute piece that mires millennials in beautiful nostalgia.

Is 1h 52m enough to cover Schumacher's life? Not at all. Is it still worth a watch? Definitely.

Beautifully told story of his racing career, taking a look at all the key highlights including his battles with Senna, Villenueve, Hill & Hakkinen. His wife plays a predominant role in telling the story, giving great insight as to how Schumi was behind the cameras. Credit to anyone who can hold their emotion back for the ending of the documentary which talks about his current well being, a racer he was, but above all he was a Father to two beautiful children - a must watch for any sporting fan.

Schumacher>Hamilton.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

I won't say much, the film reminded me why we still miss this guy. He's one of those few chosen ones who are legends on their field and for a good reason.

This is a beautiful tribute to him and I wish for his family to remain as beautiful as I saw them, united and proud. He built a strong, protective shield through out the years, one which he now needs the most. I hope for his recovery, to never see Corinnas tears on her face, or his childrens' sad eyes ever again.

Knowing the situation Michael is those last 8 years, I couldn't stop crying from the beginning until the end of it. An absolute masterpiece documentary and the perfect tribute to a legend like Schumacher. After watching this, I'm even more happy I've started following F1 in his time and proud becoming one of his millions worldwide fans.

P.s. Hope he recovers as soon as possible and comes back to circuits watching his son Mick racing in F1 :)
