From Netflix’s official note, the documentary’s synopsis reads: “1994 marks a turning point in Formula 1 history: twenty-five-year-old Michael Schumacher wins the first Grand Prix of the season in Brazil, laying the foundation for an unprecedented career. 1994 — one of the most dramatic and exciting seasons in Formula 1 history — was marked by major events, including Ayrton Senna’s fatal accident, as well as allegations of manipulation and unfair driving tactics. “.
“At the same time, a true ‘Schumi Mania’ emerged. Michael Schumacher’s wife, Corinna Schumacher, and other people close to him recall what he was like at that time. They remember an uncompromising fighter on the track and a sensitive, empathetic man off it. Corinna Schumacher, who has always been his emotional support, also offers insight into the beginnings of an extraordinary love story that continues to this day. “.
In addition to people close to the “Red Baron,” the film will feature Corinna Schumacher as a special narrator. She has never left Schumacher’s side and is already present in the 2021 documentary about the life of the seven-time world champion. However, the release date for Schumacher ’94 has not yet been announced.
