There's an upcoming documentary about Michael Schumacher called Being Michael Schumacher that I'd like to see but it's airing in Germany so I don't know where I could see it and it's in German, so I'd need subtitles that translate it to English. I once started learning German but other things in life came up and directed my attention away from it. www.si.com/fannation/racing/f1briefings/news/f1-news-lewis-hamilton-and-fernando-alonso-pay-emotional-tribute-to-michael-schumacher-lm22People that don't follow F1 wouldn't recognize most F1 drivers' names but some may still have heard of Michael Schumacher. He won seven world championships, which was a record untouched until Lewis Hamilton eventually matched it. Lewis Hamilton is one of the drivers that speak of Schumacher in the documentary. Schumacher won the ill-fated race at Imola on May 1, 1994 where we lost the great Ayrton Senna.

Why were you learning German? Good question. I don't think there's a lot of German spoken in America. Schools often offer French or Spanish but I've never heard anyone taking German.

Why were you learning German? Something different, I guess. There's people in other countries that fluently speak multiple languages. I thought it would be neat to have at least some limited ability to speak in a second one. The more languages a person knows, the less they're limited. I thought German would be something different. Isnt F1 just the best car wins? Not exactly. Having a top car is indeed important, but it needs paired with a top driver. As an example, 2023 was dominated by Max Verstappen and Red Bull. Red Bull was undoubtedly the best car. However, his teammate wasn't also winning races or always right behind in second place. His teammate had often been beaten by drivers in inferior cars. You need a top driver to extract the most out of a top car.
