Michael Schumacher, the former 7-time F1 world champion, is one of the best drivers to have ever graced the sport with his presence. While he retired at the end of 2012, former F1 managing director, Ross Brawn feels Schumacher brought the curtain down on his career quite early.

Michael Schumacher during his prime years, proved too mighty of a force to reckon with in F1. He amassed a brilliant 91 grand prix win and several people, to date, remember how prolific he was as an F1 driver.

I always think that perhaps he hung up his helmet too soon. He sowed the seeds of success at Mercedes from 2010 to 2012.

Looking at the reaction of the 69-year-old veteran of F1, it seems that he believes Michael Schumacher would have done many more wonderful things had he not decided to quit in 2012. Schumacher really was a special talent.

While Ross Brawn has shared his thoughts regarding Michael Schumacher’s F1 career, the latter after retiring from F1 had a horrific skiing accident in 2013. Since then, he has been kept in a medically induced coma in Switzerland.

Ross Brawn is a close friend of the Schumacher family and often takes the time to visit them whenever he is in Switzerland. However, as per the latest that has come out regarding the German’s health, the chances of him coming out of his current state are quite slim.

Michael Schumacher is an absolute legend of F1 and his die-hard fans are praying for his recovery every day. If it ever happens, it would be a momentous day not only for the F1 community but for motorsports in general.
