VIDEO: Michael Schumacher wins his last 'pole position' in F1 in Monaco

Michael Schumacher won his last best starting position on the day of 2012, in the qualifications for the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, after beating Mark Webber by only 0.08 seconds in a close showdown. For the seven-time F1 world champion, this was also the first "pole position" since the 2006 season, or after his return to Formula 1, but it was not counted in his official statistics, as the German collided with Bruno Senno in the previous race in Spain and for a penalty lost five starting places. Schumi has won the qualifiers 68 times, winning his last officially recognized “pole” at the 2006 French Grand Prix, setting a record that lasted 11 years until he was surpassed at the 2017 Italian Grand Prix by Lewis Hamilton. https://youtu.be/RhemGJgwdpM

Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari - Mission Failed

formula 1

Today, Ferrari officially confirmed that they will not extend their cooperation with Sebastian Vettel. The German's time with the Reds thus ends at the end of this season. If we can quickly summarize his five-year period with the Reds, which is not yet over and can still deny us in this year's shortened season, we can describe it in two words - a failed mission. A mission to lift Ferrari out of a dry spell and bring the title back to Maranello, just like his idol and compatriot Michael Schumacher did. In five seasons with the Reds, Vettel simply did not justify the great trust and appetite of Ferrari fans.
