The Schumacher Dragon: Michael

In August 2009, when Michael was working towards a comeback, it was reported in a Chinese newspaper that he had ordered 3 "Chinese style" helmets. The article reported that Michael had said, "When I first went to China, a newspaper drew a dragon as my symbol." Later that year, he also spoke about this helmet in the lead up to ROC, which was held in Beijing that year.

However, the first glimpse of the dragon logo appears to have been in July 2004. At the German GP, Michael was seen with a temporary tattoo on his right forearm with the logo.

He would win the 2004 WDC two races later, at Spa. Following that at the Italian GP in Monza, the dragon would appear as a logo for the first time, on the back of his baseball cap.

The week after that marked the occasion of the first Chinese GP in Shanghai. It was here that the dragon logo would appear on his helmet for the first time. It appeared on the top of the helmet, temporarily replacing his seven stars, as well as on either side of the helmet.

This initial iteration of the dragon logo had, in addition to the large “力”, the character for “strength”, it also includes four characters - "迈舒马赫", which roughly translates to "Mike Schumacher". This would later be removed.

The dragon would not be seen on his helmet throughout 2005, but Michael continued using it on his personal merchandise. It featured both on the back of his cap, and also on his drivers shoes.

This continued into 2006, where it again featured on his caps.

However, Michael also opted to subtly incorporate the dragon back into his helmet design for 2006. This new design featured two large dragons, as well as the names of his family in Chinese (Mick “米克” and Michael “米克尔” on the right, and Gina “吉娜” and Corinna “科琳娜” on the left).

A special version of this helmet was commissioned for his final race for Ferrari, and to mark his first retirement, this time with the dragon and his family’s names featured in gold. It also included a list of his race victories around the top of the helmet.

During his retirement in 2007-2008, Michael was still frequently seen around the track in his new capacity as an adviser to Ferrari. He continued featuring the dragon as part of his personal branding.

Michael also tested for Ferrari during both seasons to help with development. During at least one of these testing sessions, Ferrari had it placed on the engine cover.

As mentioned earlier, Michael was planning a return to F1 in 2009 to replace the injured Felipe Massa, though that was ultimately called off due to a neck injury suffered earlier that year. However, pictures from when he was karting in August 2009 showed the “Chinese style” helmet he had planned to use. It was very similar to the helmet design he last used in 2006, but with details in white instead.

Michael made a return to F1 with Mercedes, driving with them from 2010 to 2012. He used pretty much the same helmet design throughout this time, with 2010 featuring the more subtle red version of the helmet:

And 2011 featuring more or less the same design in silver:

2011 was also Michael’s 20th year in F1. For this, a specially designed gold-plated helmet was commissioned and used at the Belgian GP.

He returned to the silver dragon for the rest of his time in F1, with the exception of one more custom helmet made to commemorate his 300th F1 race at the Belgian GP in 2012:

Michael also continued to feature the dragon on both his shoes and gloves, seen here in 2010 and 2011:

You’ll notice that for a brief period of time, Michael went back to the original iteration of the logo featuring the additional four Chinese characters, "迈舒马赫", translating to his name.

Although Michael retired at the end of the 2012 season, that was not yet the end of the dragon in motorsport. Michael used it one last time on his race suit at the Race of Champions in 2012, which he and Sebastian Vettel won for Team Germany.

Apparently a post is limited to 30 images, so on to Part 2: Mick!

Top-5 races to watch any category and Top-5 races to watch only MotoGP

top 5 any category:

motoamerica 2022 new jersey race 2. i was there. it poured rain, petrux put out a 10 second lead, ashton yates was almost relevant!

500cc west german gp 1989. this is free on youtube and a perfect time capsule of the big bang era of the late 80s. the commentator calls mick doohan "mike", schwantz puts on a spectacular show, the vhs quality is endearingly terrible.

500cc italian gp 1993. this one is really just sad; wayne rainey crashes out, breaking his spine and becoming permanently paralyzed. it's an important part of racing history, though, and i don't think "favorite" means "best result", but "most emotionally impactful". rainey's injury ended his career, handing the championship to kevin schwantz. it's a reminder of the danger and sacrifice of racing.

wsbk most 2021 race 1. toprak's last lap pass against redding for the win literally changed my life. in post-race interviews redding said toprak should "show some respect"... basically asking for the win to be handed to him. anytime redding says anything now, i'm tempted to remind him to show some respect. it's become my catchphrase for making fun of him.

moto2 portugal 2022. objectively an awful result for almost everybody but one of my favorites nonetheless just for the drama and narrative arc. joe's first win.

top 5 motogp:

laguna seca 2006. a relatively popular pick, but fuck, this is a true classic. nicky hayden slays on home turf. the mark neale documentary about this race, the doctor, the kentucky kid and the texas tornado, is wonderful. it's so quintessentially 2000s.

austria 2021. maverick had his infamous meltdown and martin took his first win since his catastrophic crash at portimao earlier that year, having broken 8 bones.

styria 2021. same track, different weekends. brad got his first win in perhaps the most insane race finish of recent memory. i usually HATE pit stops in motorcycle racing (fuck daytona 200), but this one is a stunner from start to end.

cota 2023. alex motherfucking rins, baby! winning on an independent honda at a track he loves. this one just fills me with joy, a real feel-good race.

mugello 2019. one i revisit a lot. i just love petrucci, but there's tons of action all the way through! the last few laps are TENSE, suzuki was up in contention, and dovi gives a few great moments.

Mick Schumacher 'set to be replaced by Nico Hulkenberg at Haas'

Mick Schumacher 'set to be without a drive for the 2023 season with Nico Hulkenberg expected to replace him at Haas'... though the son of seven-time champion Michael 'could get a reserve role to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell at Mercedes' Haas are set to announce who will join Kevin Magnussen at the team next year Mick Schumacher is expected to lose his seat after two difficult seasons Nico Hulkenberg is set to get the seat after three years without a full-time drive Mercedes would be interested in approaching Schumacher over a reserve role Michael Schumacher finished his legendary career with Mercedes back in 2012 By Kieran Lynch For Mailonline Published: 13:15 GMT, 15 November 2022 | Updated: 13:15 GMT, 15 November 2022 Mick Schumacher could be left without a place on next year's Formula One grid with Haas reportedly set to replace him with Formula One veteran Nico Hulkenberg. The son of legendary seven-time champion Michael, has struggled over his two seasons in the sport, scoring just 12 points and being comfortably outperformed by his more experienced team-mate Kevin Magnussen. Haas are expected to announce their second driver to partner Magnussen in the coming days, and BILD have reported that Schumacher will be replaced by German countryman Hulkenberg. Mick Schumacher is expected to be left without a seat for the 2023 Formula One season Hulkenberg, a veteran of 181 races, has been without a full-time drive since the 2019 season - though he has stepped in for Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel when each of them tested positive for Covid-19 over the past three seasons. Schumacher has been contracted to Ferrari as part of the Italian outfit's driver academy. That contract will end next month and Haas, who run Ferrari engines, look set to part ways with the 2020 Formula 2 champion as well. Schumacher though could get some sort of reprieve with Autosport reporting that Mercedes are 'open' to handing him a reserve role behind their current drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Nico Hulkenberg is set to replace Schumacher after being without a full-time drive in Formula One since the end of the 2019 season when he was dropped by Renault (now Alpine) Mick's father Michael, has a long storied history with Mercedes after joining their junior racing programme in the World Sportscar Championship - before making his Formula One debut in 1991. After initially retiring from the sport in 2006 after two championships with Benneton and a further five at Ferrari, the elder Schumacher returned when Mercedes made their comeback to the sport by taking over reigning champions Brawn GP. Schumacher spent three seasons at Mercedes before retiring in 2012. Asked about the possibility of Mick Schumacher joining in a reserve role in 2023, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff admitted his interest. 'I don't know what the status is with Mick at Haas,' said Wolff. 'I think the most important thing for him is to get a racing cockpit. Schumacher though could get a reserve role at Mercedes behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell 'But I make no secret of the fact that the Schumacher family is part of Mercedes, that we value Mick very much as a personality and as a racing driver. 'That's why we will definitely discuss this option if it arises. But the first priority has to be to end up in a racing cockpit, because that's what he can do and deserves.” Mercedes needs to sign a new reserve driver for next year as its existing back-ups, Nyck de Vries and Stoffel Vandoorne have secured roles elsewhere. De Vries will race full-time with AlphaTauri from next season, while Vandoorne is joining Aston Martin as a reserve. Schumacher scored a best finish of sixth at the Austrian Grand Prix in July, but has only recorded two points in 42 races with Haas.

The first photo: Sebastian with his mechanics the day after the accident (Saturday). I wonder why he’s wearing that beanie because it was at the end of July. :) Possibly didn’t have time to wash his hair or something.

Here’s the incident:

youtube

We can all agree that the guy behind him (Danielsson), was the real lucky one. He later commented:

"Vettel was driving like it was a rental car (ouch!) It was just a matter of time before he crashed. When he went into the tyres I was just coming past him. There was the most massive impact you could possibly imagine. A complete wheel came at me at probably 100mph. I thought it would be okay and just bounce off my car but it's completely destroyed."

This is how Seb described his post-accident experience in an interview a few years later:

“For the first time I was in the medical centre; they brought me in the ambulance to the hospital, the ambulance driver was probably crazier than all of us. I was put into a wheelchair, even though there was nothing wrong with my legs. They gave me this funny dress like an old woman's dress. I don't want to do it again but it was an experience.” /x/

On Sunday there was an F1 race at Hockenheim and he was a guest at BMW:

He was supposed to be out for weeks, but guess what. He managed to compete in the Ultimate Masters of F3 at Zandvoort the following weekend, finishing in sixth place. He also set the third-fastest lap time, and it surprised his ASM team boss Frédéric Vasseur. Vasseur said: "I was impressed for sure, because at the beginning of the week I was sure he wouldn't race! But he showed good pace from the first practice session. /x/

Here are two pics of Seb from that event:

After a few weeks his finger looked like this:

Thank you for your attention :)

What is the best BMW M3 for the price?

The BMW M3 platform was specifically designed for racing in mind. After all, the M3 only came to the availability to the public because BMW had to. The story goes like this. In the ’80s BMW was a car manufacturing brand that participated in the DTM racing series where many German automakers participated in. BMW was not winning this series at the time, and they wanted to change that. So, BMW made a track version of their 3 series, but due to rules, they had to sell at least 5,000 of these modified street-legal cars to the public. When they sold these modified 3 series to the public, they called this line of cars the M3.

The E30 M3 (E30 is the name of the chassis from that time period) smoked the competition, and sold really well to the public, despite BMW thinking that it wouldn’t sell. From here the M3 line of cars started. The next M3 was the E36 M3, which had a bigger engine and a more luxurious interior than the E30. After all, let’s keep in mind that the original M3 was designed to be raced, not to be luxurious. From the E36, we now jump to the third generation of the M3, which is the BMW E46 M3. This generation ran from 2000 to 2006 and came equipped with an amazing 6-cylinder engine, a manual or automatic with a formula-one style clutch, and in a sedan or a coupe. The fourth edition of the M3 was either called the E90, E92, or E93, based on which type a customer purchased. This M3 rolled off of the assembly line and into people’s driveways starting in 2008 and stopping in 2013. This was the first M3 to come with an 8-cylinder engine, and many people loved this generation for that. The fourth-generation M3 came in a sedan (E90), a coupe (E92), or a hard-top convertible (E93). The most recent M3 generation to release is the F80 M3, which is the fifth generation. For some reason, BMW has moved away from the 2-door sports cars for the 3 series and opened up a new series for those cars, called the 4 series. That being said, this generation of cars are sedans that come with a 6-cylinder engine that is turbocharged for more power.

Now that we know all five generations of the M3 platform, Which is the best M3 for the price? According to Car Guru’s price index, the fifth generation costs anywhere from 40 to 58 thousand, and the brand new 2021 model goes for around 80 thousand. As far as the fourth generation, these go for 27 to 41 thousand. The E46 generation has a price range of 22 to 24 thousand. The e36 M3’s can be bought used for around the high teens to 24 thousand, and the original E30 m3 is basically a collector’s car at this point, so it goes for anywhere from 60 to 120 thousand. For the price, many say that the e46 M3 is the best due to the iconic 6-cylinder engine and the luxurious interior. Although I can see why many would say that, I have a different generation in mind. In my opinion, the fourth-generation M3 (E9x) is the best for multiple reasons. First, there are three different types of body styles you can choose from which gives you many options. Second, you will be in possession of the only M3 generation to have an 8-cylinder engine, which is very unique and can help with resale value should you decide to sell it in the future. Did I also mention that the engine won an award in 2012 for the engine of the year? Additionally, it is new enough to where it does not look outdated, and it comes with an infotainment system and a GPS. Since most of this generation costs around 27 to 31 thousand, it's only a little more than the E46 generation, and in return, you will possess a vehicle with two extra cylinders and have a vehicle that proudly represents BMW racing heritage. If I had the money, I would pick up an e92 M3 in either white, black or Le Mans blue, or maybe one of each. The e92, along with its brothers the E90 and E93, are the best generation of M3’s to ever be made. This specific generation looks stylish, sleek, and packs a huge amount of power in a beastly 8-cylinder engine.
