The film titled, Schumacher, is the first film supported by his family since his 2013 skiing accident.

A new documentary film on the life of 7-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher will air on Netflix on September 15, 2021.

The film titled, Schumacher, is the first film supported by his family. It gives a unique insight into the life of the legendary driver. The documentary will feature Schumacher's wife Corinna, son Mick, daughter Gina-Marie and father Rolf.

According to the producers, the film will not only portray Michael's career but also show the many facets of a complex man - the merciless and daring Formula 1 driver, the ambitious athlete, the accomplished mechanic with a unique technical flair, the reliable team player and loving family man.

Schumacher was seriously injured in a skiing accident back in December 2013. Having suffered a brain injury, he was put under a medically induced coma.

Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher celebrated his 50th birthday on January 3, 2019. In honour of the racing legend, Ferrari has opened a special exhibit titled - Michael 50 at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, in partnership with the Keep Fighting Foundation.

The installation celebrates Schumacher's 11 years with Ferrari with exhibits ranging from the F310 car from his inaugural 1996 season with the team to the F2002 and F2004 cars. The F399 from 1999 which won Ferrari its first Constructors' world title with Schumacher at the wheel and the F1-2000 are also on display. The 248 F1, which won the 2006 Chinese grand prix is also part of the line-up. That was Michael's 72nd and final win with Ferrari.

After retiring from the sport, Michael did development work for Ferrari road cars. He helped develop the 430 Scuderia and the California. These cars are also part of the special exhibit.

Over 6 years ago, Michael Schumacher suffered a serious head injury in a skiing accident, which left him paralysed. His current condition is unknown.

Earlier this month, auction house RM Sotheby's auctioned the Formula 1 Ferrari driven by Michael Schumacher in his 2001 Monaco GP. The car was sold at the contemporary evening auction held in New York for a sum of US$ 7,504,000.

The Ferrari F2001, bearing chassis number 211, propelled Michael Schumacher to victory in the Monaco GP and the Hungarian GP. He won the driver's championship at the later race as well, with four races remaining in the season. It was the only time he won both the Monaco GP as well as the driver's championship for Ferrari. This was also Ferrari's last victory at the circuit, till Sebastian Vettel's win in 2017. The same car was used for warm-up and qualifying stints at Barcelona, Montreal, the Nurburgring, Magny-Cours, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza.

The F2001 weighed 600 kg and was powered by a 3,000cc, naturally aspirated, 90-degree V10 engine that developed 805-898 BHP @ 18,500 rpm. This power was transferred to the rear wheels through a 7-speed semi-automatic sequential gearbox.

The car was estimated to fetch between US$ 4 million and US$ 5.5 million by RM Sotheby's. However, it ended up selling for US$ 2 million more.

Just before the start of this year's Formula One season in Australia, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team has dropped the "KeepFightingMichael" hashtag from its car's livery. This has disappointed some fans of Michael Schumacher, who are hoping to see the legend make a recovery.

Ever since his tragic skiing accident in December 2013, during which he suffered serious head injuries that left him in coma, Mercedes had published a message of their former team driver on its race cars. Schumacher's health condition has been kept secret to the outside world.

The Mercedes team has defended its decision to remove the message from its 2017 championship challenger - the W08. A team spokesperson said, "It was to free the way for future usage of the message." The team also said, "Now, Keep Fighting is an initiative that was founded at the end of 2016 to encourage people to fight in real life based on the incredible fighting spirit of Michael. Mercedes and Michael Schumacher's family will together work on a variety of activities which will be communicated in time."
