BARCELONA – A documentary on the life of record Formula One
world champion Michael Schumacher will be aired from December
onwards, his management and film-makers have announced.
The film "Schumacher" is to be released on December 5, first in
German and Swiss cinemas, but also possibly in other countries. For
this purpose a trailer will be shown at the Cannes filmfest which
starts on Tuesday.
New footage from the family archive will be seen but Schumacher's
health sitation after his grave skiing accident from 2013 is not part
of the documentary.
Wife Corinna, their children Gina and Mick, himself a successful F2
driver, Schumacher's father and former racing rivals are to talk
about Schumacher in interviews.
"Michael's outstanding career deserves to be celebrated 25 years
after his first of seven world titles," Schumacher's manager Sabine
Kehm said in a statement.
Schumacher won his first world title in 1994 and had his most
successful spell at Ferrari where he won five straight titles
2000-2004. He retired for good in 2012 and still holds various other
F1 records, such as most race wins with 91.
