Famous German Formula One driver Micheal Schumacher has announced that he will retire from the fast sport at the end of this season.
Schumacher began kart racing at the age of four and a half & obtained his first license and began racing competitively by the age of twelve.
He made his Formula One debut with the Jordan-Ford team at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix as a replacement driver for the imprisoned Bertrand Gachot.

In 1996, Schumacher signed a contract with Ferrari, which at the time was a highly risky move, given Ferrari's championship drought, becasue the Italian team had not won a title since 1979!
Since the 1994 death of driver Ayrton Senna, Schumacher has been widely regarded as the fastest driver in F1.
