“Schumacher 94: Birth of a Legend” is the newest project from the streaming service focused on the seven-time German champion, following the documentary Schumacher released in 2021.

So, in the Netflix trailer, it is possible to see that Corinna, Michael’s wife, appears in several moments, as well as Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone, his former manager Willi Weber, and David Coulthard also being part of the project.
