Schumacher retired in seventh place after the race. Schumacher was third at the European Grand Prix. This was his only podium finish since his return from F1 with Mercedes. He became the oldest driver to reach the podium at 43 years old and 173 days. This was his first podium finish since Jack Brabham’s second place finish at the 1970 British Grand Prix.

Michael Schumacher (/’ S u:m a:k@r/ ; German pronunciation: [‘mIca?e:l ‘Su:maxa] (listen )) is a former German racing driver. He raced in Formula One for Benetton, Ferrari, and Jordan Grand Prix. After his retirement, he also raced for Mercedes. Schumacher is widely considered one of the greatest Formula One drivers and is considered by many, including six-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, to be the greatest. Schumacher is the only driver to have won seven Formula One World Championships. He also won five consecutively. Schumacher is the most successful Formula One driver ever. He holds the records for most World Championship titles (7) and most Grand Prix wins (91), as well as the fastest lap times (77) and most races won in a single year (13). According to Formula One’s official website Formula1.com, Schumacher was the “statistically greatest driver the sport had ever seen” when he retired from racing. His achievements throughout his career included a remarkable fitness program and pushing his car to its limits for extended periods of time.
Ferrari had previously come close to the championship in 1982 and 1990. The team had suffered a disastrous downturn in the early 1990s, partially as its famous V12 engine was no longer competitive against the smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient V10s of its competitors. Various drivers, notably Alain Prost, had given the vehicles labels such as “truck”, “pig”, and “accident waiting to happen”. Furthermore, the poor performance of the Ferrari pit crews was considered a running joke. At the end of 1995, though the team had improved into a solid competitor, it was still considered inferior to front- running teams such as Benetton and Williams. Schumacher declared the Ferrari 412T good enough to win the Championship.
