Review of Schumacher

Schumacher (2021)
7/10
A great recap of a fascinating character but poorly paced

I grew up during peak Schumacher and Hill, as a big F1 fan this was a real trip down memory lane. Kudos to the film makers and family for not hiding away from his ruthless streak. Schumacher was a real villain at times, this documentary doesn't hide from that.

The early story of his rise to F1 was well explained and the pressures to get that World Championship for Ferrari is easily forgotten after he won 7!

However championships 4 to 7 are hardly mentioned which is a shame as this was peak MSC, brutal in his efficiency at converting races to wins, wins to championships. I would have liked to have seen more of the passing of the batton as well to Alonso who stopped his winning streak.

Very emotional at the end as the family talk quite openly about the challenges of recent years.

All in all a great watch for any F1 fans.
