Ciao Felipe.

Company car?

No, GT. Old and limited.

Good to see you.

Nice choice of wheels. Classic.

Hi, Michèle.

Hello! How are you?
Nice to see you.

Nice to see you. You need
help with the bags?

Tom.

Not yet.

Hey Mika!

-Hi!
-Great to see you.

Hey, Mika.

Long time.

It was a nice journey to come here.

-Yeah. Good.
-Beautiful English weather.

Like always.

I’m from a very humble background
in that sense of

my father could not afford to
support me in karting.

I’m home born
on a gas station.

And my dad
was racing cars, touring cars...

Ford Escort, M1s, both on asphalt
and off road.

So, when I was wearing nappies
I was taken to races and watching.

So, it’s kind of in my blood.

And then sometimes I was driving
the kart around the gas station

when people were coming in
for refuelling.

For me it was completely different

because my surroundings
were not at all motorsport.

You’re not born
in a gas station like me?

No, not at all. I was born
in the fields of rose and jasmine.

So, it’s completely different.

My family was growing flowers
for the perfume in Grasse,

which is the capital of perfume.

I started driving by myself.

I was 14.

Just because, you know,
it was fun,

I wanted to... I was a young girl,
very active, very sportive

and ready for any adventures,

so, I wanted to move the car,
I don’t know why.

So one day I took
my father’s Citroen 2CV,

you know, the small car.

And with a friend I said we have
to move the car.

So, I started to drive.

And my father saw the car passing
through the kitchen window.

And he said, “Somebody is stealing my
car or what?â€

And then he realized it was me.

For me, a car was independence,
freedom, moving around,

going travelling,
but nothing to do with motorsport.

Motorsport arrived
in my life when I was 21.

And you?

My father gave me a little motocross
when I was 6 years old.

And I was asking him,
“I want to race, I want to race.â€

And then he was a little bit afraid,
because I was starting to jump.

I was starting to, you know,
to get some scrapes.

So, then he said,

“I think it’s better four wheels
than two wheels,â€

so, when I was eight years old,

he brought me to, like.
a little karting school.

What’s your name?

-Felipe.
-Felipe who?

Massa.

I remember when I drove
that day, I was like, in love.

And, it’s unbelievable because
when I started racing, I knew,

this is what I want to do.

I was never thinking
about other things.

I grew up in Interlagos,
near the race track,

watching all the races in the past,
in the grandstand.

At the time, Senna was
like a God in Brazil, you know.

Three times World Champion.

No one could even dream to follow him.

Yes, well I started motor racing,
I think,

I was around six.
Six years old in karting.

And of course, as a kid,
you want to go flat out.

You like the speed.

But it didn’t start really well.

You know, the very first time when I
went to a go-kart track...

The place was called Keimola.
A very beautiful track.

Then I sat in a go-kart and said,
“This is going to be fun.â€

And of course, I went flat out.

You know, full gas immediately.
And I turned in too early.

And I touched the tire.

And of course,
the whole go-kart went...

-Really...
- Upside down.

And I’m lying there, you know,
six year old kid

and I can see upside-down

and my parents are running flat out.

“Oh my God! Our dear son is dead!â€

And of course, my parents
were shocked.

I remember their faces. They were
like “Oh my God!â€

And it was, actually it was good,
what happened,

because I immediately realized
that way,

you know,
this is a dangerous sport.

Another driver, who isn’t
racing for Germany

although he is German
and is even the favorite,

here at the Kerpen track
is Michael Schumacher.

You’re racing for Luxembourg.
Why?

Because Germany requires qualifying
races, which cost money.

And if we get eliminated,

then we won’t qualify to race
in the World Championship.

But we’re the only one
racing for Luxembourg.

It doesn’t cost any money
and we’ve automatically qualified.

And who told you all this?

My sponsor.

I remember seeing you in Denmark
when we started in karting.

I remember it was-- I have the
picture-- it’s in Ribe.

And I remember this white,
or it was white once, I guess.

Your leather suit.
It was kind of oily...

The weather wasn't so good either,
I don't think.

-It was white with blue stripes--
--Blue stripes, yeah.

So, you guys raced together?

Yeah, we did.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

And I remember taking notice that

hey, we have to watch out
for this guy.

At the front, the Dane,
Tom Kristensen,

winner of the semifinal,

with Mike Häkkinen
lining up second.

I remember that.
It was Formula Nordic, I think.

-Yeah. It’s true.
-The junior category.

Yeah, I remember that one.

We did many races there,
where actually we touched.

So maybe we shouldn’t
touch on that one.

Yes but it’s okay!

But the racing was good.
And any of us could have won.

Because I literally think we changed
position eight times in the final.

And we were really, really close.

But this guy doesn’t
give up, I tell you.

End of '72, I started to do
Monte Carlo as a co-driver.

My father loved rallies, loved cars,
so what he couldn’t do,

he offered to me. He said,
“I know you like to drive.

To see you in the passenger’s seat,
you know, I don’t like it.

Why don’t you drive?â€

I said, “Okay, but what I will do?â€

He said, “Okay, I will buy you a car.

I will pay for good conditions
for one year.

and if you are good enough,
you will continue.

If not, you will stop.â€

I said, “Okay, I will try
to show you that I can.â€

Right. And full power to the left.
Right 85. Narrows in again.

-Alright.
-You can hear the wind.

Yes, it’s windy outside.

What a conquest.

Okay... One more.
No need. That looks bad.

Hey, thank you very much,
you give...

And you?

-Over.
-I’m out.

-19.
-19.

25 is more, no?

I joined, in 1990,
West Surrey Racing.

-Dick Bennetts.
-Dick Bennetts, yeah.

It was a very good year, indeed.

You know,
winning a British championship.

At the end of the year
there is a race,

the F3 race in Macau,

where all the top drivers come
from around the world.

Everything went perfectly.
You know, all the practice,

I’m quite pleased because my pole
position is nearly one second

in front of Michael Schumacher.

His time is really fantastic,
but it is not impossible.

There are two races.

So, I won the first race,
everything went perfectly.

So, I won the first race
by about two seconds.

I was leading in the second race

and I made a mistake
or something.

-Why are you always turning right--
-I don’t know!

-and never left?
-because it feels natural!

Because it’s a way to remember!

So, Michael was able to overtake me.

So, if I would had finished behind
him just inside of two seconds,

I would have won overall
the whole race, so...

So there is like one or two laps
to go and Michael is leading,

and he made a big mistake

in a really high-speed
right-hand corner

and I thought, “What I can do?
I have to overtake him.â€

He was so slow, so I really
got close to him.

Catching a tow.

And you know,
going to overtake, and I could just...

And I could see his eyes
in the mirror looking...

I knew I see him in my mirrors

and then when I see him
right behind he closes up on me.

And then he goes off the gas
and he stays behind me.

And in this time, he closed up,
he closed up, and I see it,

and I go to the right side.

In this moment,
he wanted to overtake me

and he’s so quick, in this moment,
that he couldn’t brake.

Lost the whole race.
Terrible moment.

Then in 1991 I joined
Formula 1. Team Lotus.

Team Lotus, Peter Collins,
signed me to race there.

-Then the hard work started.
-Then it started.

Schumacher was available
this weekend,

he had no other commitments.

I’ve seen him
in Formula 3

or the team has this attitude
to give youth a chance

We think it’s a progressive way

to see what the potential
of Schumacher is for the future.

I’m really happy. With this car you
can do this qualifying time.

You know, the car feels really good
and it’s a lot of fun to drive.

And also for the time,
I’m really happy.

I’m convinced, and my lawyers
have advised me,

that we have two signed legal
agreements with Michael Schumacher.

There was some points where
Eddie and me can’t agree.

Or I can’t agree with Eddie,
let me say it like this.

And I can’t accept this.

I wouldn’t sign a contract
which was not good for me.

And I got a contract from Benetton
which was good for me.

It was really interesting
to follow people

who have competed within karting,

including this man,
progressing in motorsport.

I was racing but it was tough times.

I got a chance at Brno,
with an older car.

Michael was at that race
and his career was on fire.

From Denmark we really...
there was nobody,

there was no foundation to help
for us Danish drivers.

It was basically three years

where I managed to get a job
at my first application.

As a bank clerk.

At one time, they asked me
in the middle of the summer

if I had a truck license.

And I said, “Yes of course.
I’m a driver.â€

And then I was driving the bank bus

for some time,
around in small cities.

So, it wasn’t until the beginning
of 1991,

I got the call from an F3 team
in Germany.

And I won the championship.

And then in the last race,
in Hockenheim,

I beat your lap record
of the year before.

Of course, my car was more
sophisticated, more developed.

-No, but it meant so much to me--
-Of course! No, of course.

Hey, come on, you guys
are racing in Formula 1...

Yes, Yes, Yes. I fully understand.

So, I had to find anything I could,

-any little proof I could...
-Yes.

that at least I had
a little bit of talent!

Tom Kristensen, what’s going
to happen next?

The future,
what does it hold?

It’s going to be really, really hard.

I’m Danish and in Denmark motorsport
isn’t a very big thing.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people
but, up until now,

there haven’t been any solid
offers from sponsors.

And I went to Japan.

I spent five years in Japan,
driving different things.

-No. One more. 22.
-Yeah.

-So...
-Over.

My father was very important

because he was helping me to find
the money to go to Europe.

Then I won the Italian and European
Championships on the same year.

So then, I had many people trying
to get me under contract.

And this guy organized a meeting
for me in Maranello with Ferrari.

And I didn’t know,

but they were watching
everything that I was doing,

testing, telemetry, racing...
everything!

And then they said, “Okay,
what we're going to do is that

we will sign a contract with you,
as a young driver for Ferrari.â€

That had never happened before.

“But you cannot tell anybody.
So, it needs to be secret.â€

So, then I signed a contract for
eight years with Ferrari

and I couldn’t say, I mean, I signed
the contract with Ferrari,

and I could not tell anybody!

Only my family.
That was really hard.

Frustrating.

And then I race with Sauber--

--Ferrari engines--

--Ferrari engines.

And then I had this call
saying that Ferrari took the decision

and I was the driver
that they decided on.

So I raced 2006 for Ferrari.

And for me it was like
a dream come true.

I’m really, really happy
and ready for this challenge.

For me, when I finished my amateur
time with Alpine-Renault,

I got a phone call from Fiat France

and I did three years with them.
I was a full-time Works Driver.

-Did Jean Todt co-pilot for you?
-We were in the same period.

-Okay.
-Yeah. But he was co-driving,

-not in the same car.
-not with me, no.

No no, he was with the top driver
at that time.

And then before the end
of the season,

I got another phone call.

But this one was a little
bit different.

First, they were talking in English

and, of course,
my English was zero.

I understood… "Audi."

I understood the German accent.

I understood "four-wheel drive."

Yes, because, Quattro.

And I understood
"World Championship."

AUDI FACTORY
Ingolstadt, Germany, 1980

And I said yes. I said
yes, immediately. Yes.

Yes, yes! And so, they invited
me to Ingolstadt.

I remember that they proposed me
to drive with Hannu Mikkolawho was...

...first driver.

And I didn’t ask for money
or anything.

I just said yes and I signed.

It was fantastic.

-I can go fast?
-Yes!

I had come back from Japan
and I was driving in Formula 3000

and I was leading the championship.
And I got the phone call.

It was Ralf Jüttner from Germany.

And he represented Joest Racing,

and he said, “Tom. It’s Wednesday
evening, can I talk to you?

Le Mans is the following weekend
and we are entering a car

and we are going down
there in a few days.â€

Friday morning, I flew
down to Wald-Michelbach

and entered Joest Racing.

And the car that they entered

was for Michele Alboreto
and Stefan Johansson.

And the team had just
left for Le Mans.

And then over in the corner
there was a monocoque,

and there was one mechanic,
he was sweeping the floor.

So, I jumped up and sat down
in the seat.

And I heard them speaking German

that it was the seat from Michele,
from the test they had done.

And hearing that I said,

“Maybe if you could
put the brake pedal a little bit back,

then for me it would be perfect.â€

The mechanic, Jürgen, an old guy,

he puts his face down close to me,
pretending to whisper,

and then he says very loud,
he said:

“Hey! In our team,
der schnellste bestimmt!"

"The fastest decides in our team."
And I was a little bit, alright,

I better sign the contract fast.
That’s pretty rough!

But Le Mans is much more
than the race.

Both Stefan and Michele were great,
but, particularly Michele

as he knew both the race
and the car a bit more.

He was never telling me what to do,

even though I came with no experience
of Le Mans or the car.

I was pretty nervous getting
into the car, initially.

In my third stint, it was even
starting to get into the sunset

and the sun was in your eyes.

When I was driving at night,

it was close to 3 a.m.,

and I knew that
was gonna be the key,

it just hit me at that moment
and I understood I was on a team

which had a chance of fighting
for the podium.

Lap times were getting better.

Tom Kristensen did four stints
in a row

and he’s still blasting times here.

I kept going and suddenly
on the radio,

Ralf Jüttner, the team manager,

came on and he said: “Schnellste
Runde. Schnellste Runde, Tom.â€

It means, "fastest lap."

A lap later he said,

“Lap record! Lap record!

Keep it steady young man!
Keep it steady!â€

When you get a German
to speak to you in English...

I really was happy.

We caught and passed one
of the Works cars

and won the race.

I’d never done anything
like that before.

Nothing took so much out
of me

like the Le Mans 24 hours.

I found Jürgen.

And I just put a finger
in Jürgen’s back and I said,

“Jürgen, if there’s going to be
a next race,

can you move the brake pedal
back a little bit?â€

The call and the win happened
in a short time for me.

But it took a long time coming!

Go Michelle!

AUDI QUATTRO!!!

Rallying is a very endurance
discipline.

You have to drive night and day.

For example, in special
stages the average

is around 1200 kilometers.

It's really long.

So, it's 2000 to 3000 kilometers,
depending on the event.

-So, it’s... It’s long.
-Really long.

-Yeah, the cars, you don't
want them to...

Right, so you have to take
care of the cars…

And they're not so comfortable.

And you have to take
care of yourself.

Isn't there a car that can go uphill?
Quick! Mamma Mia!

The role of the co-driver
is very important.

We never mention enough
how important it is, in my opinion.

And Fabrizia was
fantastic with me. Really great help.

You need a really good co-driver
to give you the rhythm.

It’s very important.

We started the first season
in 1981, with Audi,

and nearly at the end
of the season in San Remo.

You know San Remo was mixed
gravel and tarmac.

So, two days, one night,
on gravel in Tuscany.

And after a very big battle

with Ari Vatanen
and Henri Toivonnen...

Ah, very fast drivers.

I was leading the rally
for the first time.

By a few seconds, 30 seconds,
I think, something like that.

So, of course first time,
a lot of pressure,

a lot of nervousness
and I couldn’t sleep.

And we had four or five
hours to relax in San Remo.

And on that last night,
we had a very long stage,

50 kilometers around San Remo,
on asphalt.

And I was sure something
would happen

because Ari didn’t want
to be beaten by me.

I looked at Fabrizia
and I said to her,

“One of us will make a mistake.

So, we will start as if it was the
first stage of the rally.â€

And I concentrated and drove
as if it was the first stage

without pushing too hard.

And Ari made the mistake.

So, finally I won the rally.

And I just remember,
of course, it was fantastic

and the mechanics went crazy.

They put flowers on my hood
and everything,

It was really a hard time
and a very good time.

Because it was really incredible.

First time a woman winning
a World Championship Rally.

And I am still the only one--
unfortunately.

I was with Lotus for two years.
So, then what happened?

I got the phone call from Ron Dennis.

And I was happy to be
with the McLaren team.

Absolutely. Great big team
and really professional.

But then the '94 season came.
No victories.

'95, no victories.
'96, no victories.

-Oh la, la. This is...

So, it was... it was very difficult

because people started wondering

“Is this guy good enough to win?

Is he good enough for McLaren?â€

So, it was a tough time.

And of course,
at the same time, you know...

Michael Schumacher,
you know, when he...

-He was on a roll.
-He was.

Yes, he was flat out.

So I knew my performance level,

where I was, compared to him.

And it was, it was quite...

-Frustrating.
-Yeah!

Frustrating to see him
winning the world championship.

If you win on Sunday,

you’ll be a new King of Germany,
the first one...

We’ll talk about this
on Sunday evening.

Out goes Schumacher!

The German is out
of the Australian Grand Prix!

I’m quite happy in Benetton
at the moment.

Ferrari would be very nice
to drive for

as well as McLaren and Mercedes.

And Williams team
is very successful as well.

So, there are four good
opportunities.

And I am going to see
and find out

where I’m going to drive
next year.

Enzo Ferrari handpicked

Luca Montezemolo
to run Ferrari

In 1993, Ferrari President Luca
Montezemolo hired Jean Todt

In 1996, Jean Todt brought
Michael Schumacher to Ferrari

And Michael Schumacher
wins the Spanish Grand Prix

after an absolutely superlative drive

to bring the great Maranello concern

back right to the front
of Formula One.

The year 19…
I would say, 96/97,

then we started seeing a light
at the end of the tunnel.

The whole team
really started focusing

on developing the car to be better.

In ’97, I had a first chance

to win a Grand Prix
in the last Grand Prix in Jerez.

Jacques Villeneuve,
Michael Schumacher,

were fighting for the Championship.
And it didn’t end up so nice.

I want to see a straight fight between
Jacques and myself

and that’s what I want to see.
I want to win the race

and I want to win
the Championship that way.

Not by any kind of accident
or whatever.

That’s not my goal.

Villeneuve gets away

and Schumacher
gets away better!

Mika Häkkinen is up there.
Fantastic start!

-He’s through!
-Oh, yes!

That didn’t work, Michael!

You hit the wrong part of him,
my friend!

If Villeneuve can just keep going,

in the points, he’s won
the World Championship.

There’s Michael looking down
the track

to see if Villeneuve
is coming round.

Remember Michael looking through
the fence of Adelaide

to see if Damon was coming round.

Well, I think he’s going
to see Villeneuve

coming round and round and round.

So, it gave me a great opportunity
then to get the lead.

Ah, you see my hands again?

It just changed now.
To the other side.

And some team orders.

Mika Häkkinen has yet
to win a Grand Prix!

And the Finn has driven
in 95 of them already.

He can smell victory!

Keep concentrating, Jacques,

because Häkkinen
is immediately behind.

Last lap. Last lap.

Patrick Head has just walked down
and into the McLaren garage,

obviously, to have a word
with them down there.

-There he goes!
-He’s let him through.

He’s coming up to the last corner.

Häkkinen is going to win
the European Grand Prix!

And Jacques Villeneuve settles
for third place

in the World Championship of 1997.

Wow!

It took me seven years to win
in a Grand Prix.

-So, it took long time.
-Long time.

It was a great victory.

Finally, the champagne.

And it was great to win there,
in last Grand Prix,

because I was a winner
all winter.

So, it gave me a good feeling,
good confidence.

Anybody who's
watched you and Mika Häkkinen

come to each race, every year,
try to get just one win.

It may be a championship
that was at stake

but for Mika Häkkinen,

it’s the most important
day of his career.

It’s the last one. It’s fantastic.
It’s really, really good.

It gives us a very good place
for the next season. It’s fantastic.

If I wouldn’t have won there, in ‘97,

I think I would have lost
maybe my motivation.

It was such a long time.

I braked on the maximum
and then he braked even later,

which as I said,

with this braking point
I wouldn’t have make the corner

and he wouldn’t have made
the corner.

So, he used me a little
bit as a braking on top.

But, well, as I said before,

I probably wouldn’t have done
anything different.

Villeneuve was excellent.

That was the only point
he could have gone through.

Schumacher was taken by surprise,

and didn't think
he'd be attacked like that,

taking the corner
as wide as he did.

If you want to avoid being overtaken,
you stay tight,

or close the gap a lot earlier.

Opinion has turned
against Schumacher,

in his native Germany and in Italy,
the home of the Ferrari team.

All of the racing press

has some pretty uncomplimentary
things to say about him,

and the Italian press say that
Ferrari should sack him

and that he should apologize.

I never said I know everything
about Formula 1

and the case proved that
I’m a human being as everyone else

and, unfortunately,
I make mistakes.

That was one of my mistakes.

I don’t do many. But it was one.

I couldn’t give to all the Tifosis

and the Ferrari team what they
expected me to deliver.

And that’s something,
I’m very sorry about.

In 2006, I had the
best day of my life.

Racing in Formula 1, in Ferrari,

it’s like a dream come true,
definitely.

Michael was my teammate.

He was just an unbelievable driver,

at the best moment of his career.

But I took the pole position!

Go! Raikönnen on the right,
Massa to the left.

The Brazilian Grand Prix
of 2006 is underway.

Leading the race, I was quite
confident in first position.

Massa, 2.5 seconds faster
than anybody else on the race track.

Massa wins the Brazilian Grand Prix!

Here he comes across
the start-finish line now

and he thoroughly deserves it.

An absolutely brilliant performance!

Look at this crowd.
They’re going absolutely bananas!

The first Brazilian
since Ayrton Senna, in ‘93,

to win his home Grand Prix.

It was such important moment
for me,

that Michael was so close,
was so warm,

to celebrate my victory together.
So, I will never forget.

It was definitely the most
incredible day of my career.

Winning at home for the first time.

So, 2008 was a very special
and good season.

We didn’t get a great start
to the season,

not the first couple
of races, especially me.

It’s the best possible start
to the season for Lewis Hamilton!

But then after two races,
everything just changed.

Hamilton is up in the air!

BAHRAIN GP
April 6, 2008

A terrific drive
by Felipe Massa.

TURKISH GP
May 11, 2008

No one today could match
Felipe Massa.

Felipe Massa wins the
French Grand Prix.

He’s a genuine title
contender.

Hamilton holds the inside line
and squeezes Massa,

but Massa has made it through!

What a bold move there
by Felipe Massa!

And he has taken control
of this race!

With only three laps to go,
absolute disaster for Felipe Massa

who had done everything right!

Oh no!
He’s taken the hose with him!

It could well cost him
the world championship!

He got a green light.
Massa did nothing wrong there.

Lewis Hamilton wins
the Chinese Grand Prix.

He’s not going to take
the World Championship home today,

but he’s going to a take
a big step closer to it.

He’s got a seven-point margin
going into the final round.

Felipe Massa’s face says it all.

And then we arrived
at this last race of the season,

which was Interlagos.

I was actually behind
on the Championship.

So, if I won the race,

which was the only thing I had to do,

Lewis couldn’t finish fifth,

so he had to finish sixth

and then we are the Champions.

I really felt the car in my hands.

You know, the way you drive the car,
the way you feel the car,

the way the team was working.

So everything was really perfect.

Lewis was around fourth position,
something like that.

So, everything was going
his way

to win the Championship.

And then suddenly it started
raining really heavily.

Oh my goodness me!
Vettel has taken a place

and that could cost Hamilton
the World Championship.

-Oh, it’s raining though.
-It’s now raining hard...

...and the championship is
slipping away from Lewis Hamilton.

And then we came to the last lap.

Everybody’s expectation was really
high for me to win the race

but also the Championship.

When I crossed the chequered flag,
I was the champion, you know?

And, so everybody was going really
crazy around my place,

my town, my country!

Can Hamilton do anything?

Can he run it up the inside of Vettel?

Only a few corners to go now

and desperation starts to creep in
for Lewis Hamilton.

Is that Glock going slowly?

-It is! It’s Glock!
-That’s Glock!

Oh, my goodness me!
Hamilton’s back in position again.

A hundred thousand local hearts
sink in the grandstands.

It’s handed 5th place
back to Hamilton!

He comes through.

You are absolutely right, I’m sure,

that he is going to claim fifth place

which is all he needs
to do to become...

Yes!

...the 2008 Formula 1 World
Champion: Lewis Hamilton.

It was tough, you know.

I think especially for everybody

that was watching the race.

It has never happened,
at least in Formula 1,

to decide the Championship like this.

It was close. It couldn’t
have been closer.

In this moment, you know?

But I think the best
thing was looking to the fans,

looking to the people.

It was like, I won the race,
thanks to all of you.

This really helped me
to get up on the podium

and kind of celebrate
what happened.

A very dignified, very, very
dignified performance

by an utterly devastated
Felipe Massa.

I started my season in 1982
with a win in Portugal.

So, it was a confirmation
of San Remo,

so it was really great.

Everybody was very happy.
Then, we went to Greece.

And I won in Greece, also.
And at that time, you know,

the position of women in those
countries was really difficult.

And I really remember, you know,

all the old ladies on the side
of the road with flowers.

It was really a very special moment

to see that people realized
that it was a team

of two women winning.
It was special.

The next round of the Championship

could see you overtaking Walter
or perhaps drawing even.

Could we possibly see a lady
World Champion this year?

I don’t want to think about the
World Championship, you know.

I want to think about each event,
and we will see at the finish.

And the fight was with Walter Röhrl
at that time.

And we were at the penultimate event,
in the Ivory Coast

If I won in the Ivory Coast
I only had to finish the rally,

here in England,
to be World Champion.

So, we started
and everything went well

because it was very muddy.

Very difficult conditions.

I started to lead by a lot
and by the middle of the rally

I was more than 1 hour
and 20 minutes ahead of Walter.

And suddenly I started to feel
the gear shift

become a little bit harder.

30 seconds. Quickly.

We’re done, boss.

-Yes, yes! Come on!
-Yes.

We lost 5 minutes because of you,
yesterday.

I spoke with Hannu,
and I said, “What we do?â€

He said, “I mean, we have
1 hour 20 minutes.

No, no, don’t think about it.

We change the gearbox
and that’s all.â€

So, we decided what parts
of the gearbox we'd fix.

Normally, it was around 20 minutes
to change it, at that time.

The mechanics start to work.
20, 30, 40 minutes...

At 40 minutes they said,
“Okay, jump in the car.â€

So, we jumped in the car.

I put the car into gear, and then,
no clutch, no gear.

Everything had seized up.

And I have two Germans
in front of me saying,

“It should work.â€

I said “No!â€

And nothing worked.
So, they started all over again.

So, I lost all of my time.

And then we had foggy conditions

and you know, in Portugal, in the fog

I made up two minutes on Walter,

in an eight kilometer stage.

Because it’s so important
with your co-driver

to have good notes.

You don’t see anything,
but you hear, you know,

“Hundred meters,â€

I learned that you never
make up time.

I got confused with the notes

and I rolled the car
and we stopped there.

But the story was a little bit worse

because we started the race

at 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning.

But at 7 a.m. I got a phone call
from my family

saying that my father
had passed away.

It was hard to cope with that.

Just thinking about it
reminds me of how hard it was.

So, I spoke to Fabrizia, I said,

“Okay, this is what happened.
We will do the race.

I will not say anything to anybody."
And we get back in the car.

-And so, we were...
- Oh my God.

And we lost the Championship.

But I always said I didn’t even
think about the Championship

because the difference between
losing my father and...

So I didn’t even think about that.

I just left and went back home.

‘98 was definitely
a great year for me.

When we went to the very first test
with that ‘98 car,

it was like a rocket.

Great start from Häkkinen !

Great start from Häkkinen !
He’s through,

he’s passed Schumacher
and Coulthard.

I mean, we were so fast!

Of course, racing against
Michael Schumacher...

Schumacher’s going for
the lead at the Roggia.

And he’s right up alongside.
And he’s going through!

Fantastic!

Häkkinen fights back!
This is magnificent!

The lead changes twice
in about 400 yards!

I felt great because Michael
had great success already

and it was nice to kick his ass!

So, the season went on and on.

Sometimes I had a little bad luck,
sometimes I made a mistake...

He’s out! He’s out!

Then vice versa for Michael.

Schumacher leading Damon Hill there
by 27 seconds now,

in a class of his own.

Oh God! Michael Schumacher
hits David Coulthard

and is out of the Belgian Grand Prix!

But towards the end of the season,

we were nearly on the equal points
going into the last Grand Prix.

So, I needed to win.

And it’s go, go, go!

Yellow flag. A driver’s
stalled on the line.

That is Michael Schumacher.

Will he end up on the back
of the grid?

He’s shaking his head, look.

Michael Schumacher,
under the terms of the regulations,

has to start this race
from the back of the grid.

Well, if that is the case,

Michael Schumacher has almost
certainly lost

the World Championship
before this race even begins.

So, I went “Yay!â€

No. I didn’t do this
but I was like,

"Stay calm. It’s not over yet.
It’s not over yet."

You did inside.

Yes! Absolutely.

So, I got the lead
and I knew I was going to pull away.

I just need to stay consistent
and not make mistakes.

Michael is pushing incredibly hard.

He’s still got a sniff of it.

21 seconds behind the race leader
Mika Häkkinen .

So, there is still a small chance
of victory

and a World Championship here.

Michael Schumacher
on the ragged edge.

It was never a situation that you
could relax…

Until I saw it on a big screen.

Michael Schumacher retires from
the Japanese Grand Prix.

Mika Häkkinen is the World Champion.

Mika Häkkinen is
World Champion of 1998.

And I was, again, “Yeah!â€

And it was great to finish
the Grand Prix

and to be a World Champion
after all these years.

And then Michael came
to congratulate me.

It was really, really cool of him.

Mika Häkkinen , from Finland,
the World Champion.

And the ‘99 season, again.

Michael and me
and Ferrari and fighting...

-Fighting against...
-So, you fight a lot together?

Yeah, again, challenging
to win Grand Prix.

And then Michael
had his accident in Silverstone.

It looked really nasty
and he did break his--

-Hurt his...
- Hurt his leg.

So, he was out of the game

and I didn’t celebrate that time,
of course,

because he hurt himself.

Michael is basically alright

and they've flown him to the hospital
just to check his leg.

So, I was thinking,

“Okay, maybe this season is going
to be a bit easierâ€

But then, the pressure was just
incredible.

To handle that pressure,

finding and controlling your emotions.

Oh, and that’s Häkkinen spinning!

Out goes Häkkinen!
Häkkinen the race leader!

Mentally really tough.

So, all the preparation
for the last Grand Prix was...

Everything had to be perfect.

Your personal thoughts
working with you.

The team had to be perfect.
It was a great feeling.

A great two years.
Beautiful, beautiful years.

I think 2000
was a great season again.

Yeah!

What stands out, I think, for us,
was the Kemmel Straight at Spa

when you had that hard fight
between Michael and you.

I tried to overtake Michael,
I think, three or four times,

and every time he pushed
me on the grass.

And I knew that next lap,

if I tried to overtake Michael again,
he would push, you know,

he would block me.

The only place I was able to overtake
was after Eau Rouge.

I could see a back-marker,
Ricardo Zonta,

driving in middle of the track.

It was logical for Michael
to overtake him on the left,

because the next corner
was to the right.

So I decide to go across
to the other side.

A brilliant move there,
either side of Zonta.

And Häkkinen brilliantly takes
the lead of the Belgian Grand Prix.

It was quite a risk
when we overtook him.

ERJA HÄKKINEN
Mika's Wife

It's guaranteed he needed
to change

his underpants after the race!

Häkkinen is now six points
ahead of Michael Schumacher

in the World Championship.
Mika Häkkinen has the advantage.

Well, it was incredible.

It was… incredible.

I knew, following Michael,

there was no point in trying
to overtake him on the straight

because, obviously, he’s not going
to give me room. Correct?

Yes, I made it difficult.

I had a word with him
after the race. I said,

“Come on man, you are risking
not only your life, but also my life.â€

And he just looked at me,
“This is racing.â€

And I said, “Yes, but...â€

-Where is the limit?
-Yeah.

That was his style of driving.

I have to win it.

How are you feeling about that?

Terrible.

Michael Schumacher is definitely
very nervous.

He needs to deliver this championship

for himself and for Ferrari.

It’s go! And Michael Schumacher
cuts straight across

and drives Mika Häkkinen
towards the wall.

But Häkkinen's done it again!

He’s taken the lead as he did
last year and the year before.

It’s now going to come down
to strategy and pit stops.

These next two laps could well decide
the Japanese Grand Prix,

and the World Championship.

Here comes Michael Schumacher,
rejoining the track,

and he’s ahead of Mika Häkkinen.

Michael Schumacher to win
the 2000 Japanese Grand Prix

and the World Championship

to give Ferrari and Italy their dream.

Michael, give us your feelings.

I don’t have words. Shit!
You are great, Ross.

You’re great Ross. Shit!
We did it! We did it!

Give Corinna a big kiss from me.

The first World Championship
for Ferrari for 21 years.

You are one of the architects of it.

Tell us what it means to
you and to this team.

Personally, it’s why I came
to Ferrari. To do this.

So, I’ve achieved my dream.

And so has everyone else in the team.

Michael is a great driver

but on top of that,
he’s a great man.

We have been together
when things were very bad

and we are together
when things are very good.

But I mean I love Michael.

I loved him when he had
the accident at Silverstone,

and I love him today after he gave

the driving championship
to Ferrari.

It’s like father and son, yes?

Am I so old? Two brothers.

-Michael Schumacher!
-Yes!!!

Mika, you’ve been a superb
World Champion for the last two years

but your reign, for now, is over.
How do you feel?

So sad.

A bit disappointed
but at the same time I feel...

I have won two years in a row,
in ‘98 and ’99,

you know, I understand
it is sometimes

some other driver's turn to win.

Life continues and racing continues.
You have to keep fighting.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Good evening.

DOMINATION

INGOLSTADT
Germany, 2000

I got invited out to see
Dr. Ullrich at Audi in Ingolstadt.

I have to say, a very humble
building where they started from...

My time.

With your time,
with the rally program,

they were still in the same place.
I really felt a good chemistry.

Ullrich showed me the drawings
of the R8

which they were going to enter
for the 2000 Le Mans.

Some people
were questioning my going to Audi

but I gave him a handshake

and that’s the best decision
I’ve ever made.

Tom Kristensen, equals the record
of the Belgian Jacky Ickx!

Tom Kristensen is the greatest
ever driver of Le Mans!

Lap times are good.

Tom Kristensen is Mr. Le Mans!

Sure, there is the pressure.

But there is also the privilege
of the dream,

of how we started
with a passion of doing well.

The Aston Martin at the chicane.
It’s Allan Simonsen at the wheel.

Allan Simonsen has died
as a result of that crash.

I went into this race,

I wanted really to race for my dad,

because he passed away this year.

But if I just imagine myself
sitting down

and having a little Danish beer
with Allan and my dad

then we would both agree

that I should try to win this race
with Audi for Allan.

This is what we did, so...

You don’t call that a happy ending.

Ferrari are Constructors'
World Champions

Michael Schumacher
is World Champion!

It is a great achievement
for the team.

And it shows the great
domination of Ferrari.

Michael Schumacher.
He is five-time World Champion.

I’m just so glad that we have
achieved this together,

with people behind you
that you can just love

and you can admire,
with all the effort they put in.

There are some rumors that
maybe this dream team

is going to split up in some way

because Luca de Montezemolo
maybe is--

Don’t believe in rumors.

We are here together.
Happy together.

And we will stay together
for many years.

Michael Schumacher, the first six-time
World Formula 1 Champion.

That grey and black speck
in the distance is Kimi Räikkönen.

A magnificent win for Kimi Räikkönen!
Well done to him.

But Michael Schumacher

gets his seventh Formula 1
World Championship.

Isn’t this a race lover’s heaven?

The three best drivers in the world

going toe-to-toe around one
of its finest race tracks.

Schumacher. Alonso. Räikkönen.

Fernando Alonso trying
to pass Michael Schumacher.

180 mph around the outside
of the 130R corner!

I’ve never seen anything like it!

Look how calm it is behind the wheel.

Räikkönen getting past
Michael Schumacher.

One of the best days
of my life, 1975, September,

when we won the championship,
with Nikki Lauda, here in Monza.

It is, of course,
an important weekend

because we will announce
the next season’s team.

Michael is an important
part of my life.

We have faced fantastic moments
and difficult moments.

But he has always been very loyal.

You must be excited to join Ferrari?

I don’t know what
you are talking about.

Are we going to learn your
future this weekend?

We just need to wait and see.

Michael Schumacher wins
the Italian Grand Prix!

The official press release,
there it is.

Look at the top line.

“Michael Schumacher
will retire from race driving

at the end of the 2006
World Championship.â€

So, it’s the news
that every Ferrari fan,

and every Michael Schumacher fan,

did not want to hear.

It’s got a load of PR nice stuff

about how he loves Ferrari...

Look, even his engineer
Chris Dyer hasn’t seen this.

At the end of this year,
I’ve decided,

together with the team,

that I’m going to retire from racing.

It has been an exceptional.
a really exceptional time,

what motorsport has given
to me, for more than 30 years.

Particularly, I should thank
my family

starting with, obviously, my dad,

my mum, who has passed away.

And now, I just want to concentrate

on the last three events
and finish in style.

For him, it is the right time.
He is on the top,

and I am sure he will have
a very nice life.

Michael will remain a member
of the Ferrari family,

this for sure.

Tonight, we have with us,

our chief test driver,
Michael Schumacher.

And since, unfortunately,
he decided to retire,

he has been in charge
of the development

of the 458 Italia.
Michael...

Thank you. Thank you
for the introduction.

I wish everybody who has the
opportunity to test it,

great fun and enjoy.
Thank you.

Something happened that
nobody would believe.

Yes, really unbelievable.

I was in Budapest in 2009
and I did my qualifying lap...

FRAGILE

Exit of corner five,

Rubens lost his spring,
the third spring of his car,

and I was coming
around 250 km/h,

And the spring just hit my head.

The spring.
How much did it weigh?

One kilo.

And you’re arriving 250?

Arriving 250.

I went to the hospital.

And they performed quite
an intense operation.

With all the faith in our religion,
may you pray for him.

So, then they remove all the bones,
and then close it up,

and I was in a coma for three days.

I flew back to Brazil.

and they did another big operation,

a month after,
to put in a plate…

-Okay.
-Here, you know?

Because I lost all
the bone in this area.

It took really a long time
to get back to the car.

You always know you want
to go back to racing.

-But you never believe something...
-Will happen to you.

...will happen to you.

When it happens to you,
you respect life.

Not only yours but everybody’s,
in a big way.

The hardest hit I had
was in DTM 2007.

I don’t remember,
in a way, for days,

but apparently, the car took
an impact of 63 Gs.

The recovery was not in a coma.

But I knew how close it was.

Our team doctor, Dr. Young,

we always called him Dr. Death,
but...

-when we needed him...
-He was there.

...he was always there.

He came to visit me in Denmark
and said,

“You have to see a neurologist.

And if he gives you the thumbs up,

you can start working again.

Before he does it,
it’s tough.

Basically, I made my decision
to come back at Le Mans.

He couldn’t believe that
I wanted to race again.

When I felt good enough, I said,

“Can I have a go in a car again?â€

And actually, this healed my
process,

because when I drove,

I knew instinctively that
this is where I belong.

But I think the message was,

I don’t want to stop like that.

I don’t want to have
somebody...

-something--
-to determine... And that was--

You wanted to decide.

It was a nice way to come back.

You don’t stop, you don’t decide
your career by an accident.

I feel very sorry for the people
in racing who,

due to injuries,
are not able to come back.

I had my accident in ’95.
It was quite a challenge.

Because what happened, happened
in Australia, in Adelaide.

I was going flat out
on a long straight.

Just when I was entering the corner,
the rear tire didn’t explode,

it just lost pressure very quickly.

And so, the car started bottoming.

And I lost the control, of course.

There was a massive curb in the exit

and of course I hit that curb

and the car bounced
a couple of times on the ground

and hit the barrier sideways.

At that time, we didn’t have
the HANS protection,

or the…
I don’t know exactly...

-The headrest.
-Headrest system.

So, you know, my head
moved pretty aggressively.

So, it was a really difficult time.

But I was very fortunate because,

in the corner where the accident
happened,

all the medical crew was there.

The hospital was just 5 minutes away.

So everything happened very quickly.
I got help very fast.

And the level of care
that he’s received

has been absolutely
exceptional.

They performed a tracheotomy
at the side of the car.

There is still some possibility
of the brain swelling.

He was truly, and still is,
in a critical condition.

So yeah, I was in a coma
a few days

and then the really horrible
things started, you know?

Because when you wake up,
you start realizing 'Oh my God!’

Because I banged so hard,

I lost control of one side of my face.

The nerves got damaged.

So, when you were sleeping,

they had to put tape
on your eyes,

to keep them closed.

Then the time came
when they started to test

whether you can smell
normally,

you can taste normally,
you can walk.

How long you did you stay
in Australia?

I think I was over there
for five weeks.

Five weeks.

And my girlfriend flew to
Australia to support me.

Automatically, you really put
thoughts away about motor racing.

You start thinking,
"I can move my hands..."

And you know,
those priorities come into your life.

Later on, the accident helped
me in my racing career.

“Slow down a bit. You don’t have to
run all the time.

Walk. Think.
Take your time.

Look around you at what’s happening.â€

Then in 2001, I had quite
a few accidents.

You start thinking
a little bit differently.

I was very fortunate,

winning the World Championships
of ‘98 and ‘99.

So, I felt that I had achieved
my goals,

why I came to Formula 1.

So, then I decided that’s it!

It’s better to do something else.

And I feel that was

-a good decision.
-The right decision?

-The right time?
-Yeah, yeah.

It was 2014.

I had the chance to win
my 10th LeMans.

We were in the lead at midday

with less than four hours to the end.

Accelerating out of Dunlop
corner... the next gear...

And I felt a little bit
of a loss of power.

The leader has stopped
out on the circuit.

It’s a hard mistress, this race.

And then we come in the pit
and it was a blown turbo.

Obviously bloody hot.

They were able to change it

but it took a little bit more
than 15 minutes, maybe nearly 20.

And we dropped down
to third position.

We were still pushing until the end.

Audi doing their fastest laps
of the race.

A Herculean effort
by the Number 1 car.

It was very tough.

And actually,
we won second place.

Standing there, going to the podium
with a sweaty hand,

in my mind, on the trophy,

but not being able to grab it,
I was disappointed.

And I remember meeting
Dr. Ullrich and saying,

“This is not, this is...
I can’t wait for next year.â€

But I mean, you can’t stop your age,
you can’t stop things.

And a lot of young people
are obviously coming along

who are very good
and very fast.

I told Hanne
about my decision to stop,

after she came home
from the shopping center

and she dropped the bags and said,

“You’re going to be happy.
That’s a very strong decision.â€

Family life is the most
important thing.

And I have not missed
any racing at all, ever since.

Maybe I’m lying a bit there.

For me, after five years
of the championship,

I was starting to get
a little bit tired.

300 days a year you are on the road,

so I wanted to slow down a little bit,
I didn't know how.

Jean Todt was Peugeot team manager
and offered me two events

in the World Championship,
with the Peugeot 205.

So I accepted.

The men drivers are all saying

it’s a very hard rally,
long stages.

Do you think you’re strong
enough to cope with this?

Of course,
it’s my 12th Tour de Corse.

I think a woman is more able
to make a constant effort

than to go very fast
and down after.

So, I am not afraid of that

After the first day,
I knew I was at my best.

I was third overall.

There is Michèle Mouton,
going superbly well.

I had a problem
with the gearshift and I stopped.

But for me it was my best rally.

But I had the problem
with the gearshift, again.

After that I knew that I would miss
out on a family life.

I was 35 and for me
it was clear.

I said to Fredrik, who was my partner
at that time, I said,

“Okay, it’s the end for me.â€

And I stopped there,
and I never regretted that,

because I had my daughter
Jessie the following year.

And so it was great,
a great time.

At the end of 2016,
I had a race in Brazil,

Interlagos,
it was the last race of the season.

It was raining so much
during the race, red flags…

I crashed.

I was so disappointed that I crashed
in my last race in Brazil.

I started to walk back to the pits

and the whole grandstand stood up
and started to wave to me.

When I got to the pits,

I saw that everybody
from all the teams,

even teams that I hadn’t raced for,

were outside their garages
and clapping their hands.

My son, Felipino,
was waiting for me,

my wife, and my parents.

It was an amazing feeling.

When you see these things happen,

I think it shows that you have
a lot of respect.

But I was ready to stop.

Our sport, it’s difficult, it’s
hard. But it’s also human.

I’m glad to introduce
Michael Schumacher.

Ross is the leader of this one,

and I’m more than proud
to be a part of you.

And I look forward
to a great future with all of you.

Which car do you see
as being the fastest?

Good question,
we’re here to find out.

Am I as good as I was at 25?

Who knows? We’ll find out.
I’ll tell you later.

I lost my front wing again.

That seems to be my weak
spot at the moment.

I think we should make
them much stronger, those things.

Naturally, I’m excited and very happy
for this particular weekend.

I didn’t have a clue where I was.
Third position.

I thought, no, not possible!

I tried to end this mission
successfully.

It didn’t work, this time,

But I’m quite happy to finish
from here

and go for a different life,
again.

My friends. It has been a pleasure
to be with you today.

I’m sorry that I cannot stay,

but sometimes emotions
can be too strong.

Reliving my life with you
has been a privilege.

But it has brought back
many ghosts.

The next chapter of our story
is too hard for me to tell.

See you on the road.
Felipe.

Michael Schumacher is said
to be fighting for his life

after a skiing accident
in the French Alps.

The former racing driver is in a coma

after undergoing brain surgery.

Michael’s injury is heavy,
and the overall situation is critical.

When I got the news, the irony was,

I was actually with my family
in Norway.

We were skiing.

I couldn’t believe it, you know.

First of all, you think,
okay, it will go,

because Michael has been
through so many battles

that you cannot even think
he will lose this one.

So, you don’t want to think
about the worst.

SHUMI All our thoughts
and prayers for you and your family

I was shocked. And from
my personal experience,

having a head injury,
it is always serious.

With each passing hour,
concern for his recovery grows.

Gerard Saillant,
France’s top trauma specialist,

has now flown down from Paris

in another sign that this is being
taken very seriously indeed.

The doctors don’t want
to make any further statements,

because they cannot.

They are working
hour-by-hour.

And everything we heard
about after that,

I really think that, you know,

he deserved to have his private life,
his normal life.

He was such a fantastic person.
Very cool. Very open.

Smiling, laughing all the time.

The best times, I think,
I had with Michael...

There was a rivalry,
like with everyone,

when we were on the race track.

Actually in Norway, in Trysil,
when he was there,

sometimes I joined him
and we played football...

Just like kids.
That was the best time

I had with him.

Formula 1 is a lifestyle.
It isa life.

And Michael had just decided

to start enjoying his life
with his family more.

So, I thought, why now?

What is the purpose
of this kind of situation?

Everyone who comes from the
background of a humble family,

we all deserve
a proper retirement.

So, that’s the irony of the story.

We have lived flat out.

We have taken, you cannot believe,
the chances we’ve taken.

Trying to make our teams proud

and at the end of the day,
our families proud.

And the plan is to spend
a proper retirement.

But you know,
skiing accident in your free time,

that’s hard to swallow.

We have been hoping
and hoping and hoping

and it’s true that
now time is passing

and we still hope, of course.

Bottom of my heart I really... hope.

Stop.

My daughter met a fantastic guy

and they decided to get married.

But one week before the wedding,

my mother fell
and hit her head very badly.

She was 90 years old.

So of course, it was panic.
We saw the doctors.

The doctors came into the room
with my sister

and showed us the x-rays and said,

“Unfortunately, no chance.
She will not pass the night.â€

I said, “Okay.â€

In the middle of the night,
she woke up. She recognized me.

I talked to her.
I couldn’t believe it.

The next morning,
she started to speak,

to laugh with the doctors
and to be okay.

The doctors couldn’t believe it.

So, for us, you know,
it was fantastic.

So, we continued the wedding.

And then she asked me,

“Have you booked
the hairdresser for me?"

And she had her dress ready,
everything ready.

-Wow.
-And so,

we told her that, you know,

that she would come
to the wedding,

and maybe, you know,

we made her hope
that she could come.

And she hoped so much.

During the wedding,

her best friend came to her,
and stayed with her,

but she told her that
the wedding was going on

and she would see everything
in the wedding video.

The next day,
when we went to see her,

she had her eyes closed

and she let go
and she passed away.

She waited all the wedding,

To make us happy.
And it was just unbelievable.

We couldn’t believe that.
