Most race fans are fully aware of Michael Schumacher's stunning records in Formula 1. However, we found this excellent video which illustrates Schumacher's early beginnings in Formula 3, especially as a member of the Sauber-Mercedes Sport Prototype team.
As we celebrate his last F1 Grand Prix this weekend in Brazil, let's remember the young Michael Schumacher who raced karts, Formula Konigs, Formula Fords and F3s before he was drafted by Mercedes-Benz Junior Team to compete in world endurance racing.
In 1990 and 1991, Schumacher drove the mighty Sauber C11 -- a monstruous Group C car powered by a 5.0L biturbocharged Mercedes V8.
