The best and worst of Michael Schumacher

October 23, 2006

SIX OF THE BEST

BELGIUM 1992
Schumacher's first race win, in the wet, and one in which he showed all his tactical brilliance. Overtaken by Benetton team mate Martin Brundle after sliding off, Schumacher noticed that the Briton's tyres were worn out. Reckoning that his must be as well, he pitted immediately for rain tyres. It was a masterstroke of timing that won him the race.

BELGIUM 1995
A victory from 16th place on the starting grid in changing conditions and with the German staying out on slick tyres in the wet. The outcome was also tainted by controversy, with the German receiving a suspended one-race ban for weaving on the straights to prevent Damon Hill overtaking.
