After 11 amazing years of Formula One racing with Ferrari, Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from Formula One competition. “Schumi” will be remembered as one of the greatest drivers Formula One racing has ever seen.

Schumacher, who worked with Shell since joining Ferrari in 1996, bowed out of the sport at the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, battling to the end but narrowly missing an eighth Drivers' Championship. His competitive spirit and peerless talent were undiminished even in the last laps of his final race, when he set the fastest-lap as a final achievement. 

Within a decade, Ferrari won six Formula One Constructors' Championship titles (1999-2004) and Michael Schumacher recorded five consecutive Drivers' Championships starting the following year. Schumacher finished his career with a total of 91 victories.
