The legendary seven-time world champion said his goodbyes on Sunday afternoon after finishing 7th in Sao Paolo. So what, you say? Let's take a deeper look at the connection between Schumi and the number 7.
Schumacher's career has strangely revolved around a certain number. That number seems to be the same as the number of championships under his name. And also some other rather interesting figures:
This season:
- He finished 7th in Sao Paolo in car nr. 7
- He scored a total of 49 (7x7) points
- With 49% (7x7) of these points scored from his four 7th places
- 7 of his point finishes were non-podiums finishes
- Schumacher got 7 DNFs this season
Overall:
- 77 fastest laps
- started from 7th place in his first race and 7th again in his comeback race (2010)
- had 7 different team mates
- most consecutive wins in a season: 7 (2004)
- most consecutive poles: 7 (2000-2001)
- he won his first two championships with Mild SEVEN Benetton and raced for 7-UP Jordan
Probably the most shocking of all: Exactly 7,777 days between his first ever race and his last race this weekend in Sao Paolo.
