Michael Schumacher film set for release later this year

Later this year a documentary film on the life of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher is set to be released. The film has the consent of the Schumacher family and will feature interviews with them including his son Mick Schumacher. The film has been created for the 50th birthday of Schumacher as well as the 25th anniversary of his first world title. 

"Michael's outstanding career deserves to be celebrated 25 years after he achieved his first out of seven world championship titles," said Sabine Kehm, speaking for the Schumacher family to F1i.com.

"We are happy this film will be in the hands of such ambitious and sensitive professionals."

"It is an important year for Michael Schumacher," said producer Seikel.

"With his 50th birthday in January and the 25th anniversary of his first world championship victory in November.

"We are thrilled to have the trusting co-operation of Michael Schumacher's family and management. Without their support, this film would not have been possible."
