Netflix release sub-two minute trailer of documentary on Michael Schumacher

Directed by German directors Hanns-Bruno Kammertöns, Vanessa Nöcker, and Michael Wech, December 2019 was the initial release date for the documentary. However, they delayed the release citing the need for more time to handle certain parts of sensitive footage.

Titled ‘Schumacher’, Netflix will release the documentary on September 15. In fact, the release date is exactly three weeks from today, which marks 30 years since the German made his F1 debut in the Belgian Grand Prix.

Along with race footage, the documentary also features footage shared by his family. While his family feature prominently in the documentary, some of their most powerful lines feature in this trailer.

His son Mick, who drives for Haas F1 this year, says in German, “When I look at him, I think, ‘I want to be like that.‘” His wife Corrina says, “I just felt that he is somebody special.” While his daughter, Gina-Maria says, “Well, he is my Dad, and I’m glad that he is.

Along with the three of them, the documentary also features his brother Ralf, and his father Rolf Schumacher.
