Schumacher exclusive: Going back to the start
Michael Schumacher took time over his 20th anniversary Spa weekend to speak exclusively to AUTOSPORT about the memories of his debut race. Adam Cooper listened to the great man as he revealed his true feelings about that special day all those years ago
There was a brief period exactly 20 years ago when only two people could say they had been at all of Michael Schumacher's World Sportscar Championship races, all of his Japanese F3000 races, and all of his grands prix. One of them was Michael, and the other was me.
I lost that record when he went to do his second F1 race at Monza for Benetton. In those days my focus was mainly on the WSC, so I didn't go.
