1. Paige 27. Reading. Michael Schumacher. A career full of trophies.

One of the greatest Formula One racers of all time, Michael Schumacher had a flair for motorsports

at a very young age. His parents weren't well off, which means they didn't have much money,

but they could support their son financially and emotionally.

At the age of 14, Michael started to show an innate talent for motor racing, so his family

encouraged him by building him his own cart. He could drive the cart very fast. This opened

him the doors to the Formula One racing world. He quickly made a name for his races for the

team Ferrari. He won the Formula One Championship on seven occasions. The year 2000 was the beginning

of his fruitful years. It was a difficult year for him, but he was able to win the title.

Schumacher won the Formula One Championship for five years consecutively. After retiring from

the Formula One world, he decided to spend his time with his family and on his hobbies

and interests. He was interested in football, and he was keen on skiing. Unfortunately,

he had an accident in 2013 while skiing down the French Alps. This resulted in a serious

head injury, and he went into a coma. Today, Michael Schumacher is known for his

contributions to charity organizations for children's education, development of poverty

stricken areas, etc.
