The infobox giving Schumacher's vitals need to be changed. Nothing is officially confirmed yet, so Schumacher technically in't a current driver. Even if it's only for one hour, it needs to be changed. I'd do it myself, but I don't know how. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 01:54, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
SkyNews just confirmed it. It is official. Norum 10:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
According to an interview Schumacher gave the German magazine Spiegel in October 2009, he was not physically present at the time of Felipe Massa's crash in Budapest but watched the race on TV instead. This should be corrected in the article. Link to the interview (in German). -- 92.224.97.248 ( talk) 08:00, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
I dont think so, this has nothing to do with him, it doesnt matter where he was, only what he was prepared to do; step in.

"It is also of note that as of the end of the 2004 season, Schumacher had at least one Grand Prix win at every circuit he had raced on. For him to regain the record upon his return to Formula 1, he will have to win in Turkey, Valencia, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Korea."
The above is wrong, confusing the designated countries of Grand Prix and actual circuits. For example, he only raced at Donington Park once ('93) and didn't win there. However, that race was under the Grand Prix of Europe title, which he did when it was
held at the Nurburgring. It also means he has no need to win in Valencia to regain that record, as that is also under the European GP title. - Pablo —Preceding

1I think that there should be seperate sections for each of Schumacher's racing years, especially his world championship years as there is not a lot of detail covering any of his years apart from his years at Mercedes which were the least successful and probably not the ones people want to read about. 2I think that this page should have some kind of protection especially as Michael Schumacher is the most successful F1 driver ever while other modern and less successful drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel do have protection. I think the same should be done with other legendary and successful drivers of the past like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodo497 ( talk • contribs) 20:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
This page definately need clear different sections for Schumacher's different Formula 1 years. What I don't understand is why 2010 onwards all have a separate page for each year when these were probably his worst years in the sport while there is only one section for his world championship years from 2000- 2004 and 1994 and 1995. Whats even worse is that there is only one small paragraph on the 2004 season, samller than that on some of the single races in 2010 to present.
Grid penalties are not relevant to the 'pole positions' stat. The 68 recorded by this page includes races where he hasn't started in first place due to penalties. The stat is an indication of the number of times a driver has been the fastest in qualifying only. He achieved pole position, but did not start from it, it is simple as that. Tom Green ( talk) 18:56, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Sarcastic? Possibly, but then ill-informed pomposity sometimes needs to be pricked. Semi-abusive? In what way? I pointed out your lack of knowledge, I asked a couple of questions, and I provided a healthy list of sources that prove just how misinformed you are. If you find being proven wrong, using multiple, highly reliable, independent, third-party sources is "semi-abusive" then you really should make sure of your facts before telling a whole string of established editors that you are in the right. Now, rather than remove the comments, how about you respond to them? Pyrop e 21:57, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
At the start of the press conference after the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix Qualifying, the interviewer congralutated him with his 69th pole position. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.24.57 ( talk) 15:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
This session was not the same as the qualifying for the Spanish GP. In Spain Hamilton got disqualified from qualifying meaning that Pole Position was no longer his. In Monaco Schumacher did qualify on Pole, but was relegated 5 places because of a penalty, he didn't lose his 69th Pole Position. Even on Formula One video games, if you are fastest in qualifying, but get relegated becuase of a penalty, the Pole Position is still counted as yours. Surely therfore this is Schumacher's 69th Pole, not Webber's 10th. Dodo497 ( talk)
I think Schumacher's entry for the 1999 British Grand Prix should be a DNS, not a Retirement. Schumacher crashed on the aborted first lap of the race, and failed to make the restart. Under Regulations 156/157A of the FIA 1999 Sporting Regulations (link here), following a red-flag within the first 2 laps of a race, the first start will be null and void and the race restarted from scratch. As Schumacher was unable to take the restart, he should be DNS by the same token as Barrichello, Panis, etc at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix. Obviously this would have an effect on his total starts, making the 300th start claim on 2012 Italian Grand Prix incorrect.

I dont know, from the article I dont feel a sense of the greatness he imposed over f1, it seems a little biased, more of a 'He was good, but it was annoying as no one else won' rather than, although he did stamp out the competition he was admired by the public.... everyone says so, even ecclestone (the king of f1 no matter what you say) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malkitas ( talk • contribs) 22:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I was reading some of this article today, and enjoying it, when I came upon a dead or empty link in this section: Michael_Schumacher#Helmet:
Schumacher, in conjunction with Schuberth, helped develop the first lightweight carbon helmet. In 2004, a prototype was publicly tested by being driven over by a tank; it survived intact. [1] The helmet keeps the driver cool by funneling directed airflow through fifty holes.
This link no longer has content in it: <ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.jeccomposites.com/composites-news/682/Even-a-tank.html |title= Even a tank can't halt schu now |accessdate=8 November 2006 |publisher=JEC Composites}}</ref> However, I went to the internet wayback machine though and found a snapshot of the nice content that used to be there: http://web.archive.org/web/20070108220644/http://www.jeccomposites.com/composites-news/682/Even-a-tank.html. I'm sorry, I don't know how to fix this, that is, how to reformat the citation to include the archive URL from wayback machine. Can someone more knowledgeable address this please?

>> Schumacher being brought out of coma( Lihaas ( talk) 16:59, 30 January 2014 (UTC)).
there have been several efforts to update the date of his status. i think this is wrong - we cannot go beyond what reliable sources report that his doctors say, and the last report was March 7. he could have died last week, right? Or two days ago he could have taken a turn for the worse, or have woken up altogether. we just don't know... interested in hearing other folks' thoughts. Jytdog ( talk) 15:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
There are two separate issues here:
"He was in the coma from 29 December 2013 until 16 June 2014", "By 16 June 2014, Schumacher had regained consciousness and left Grenoble Hospital".
Are you sure that the source material specify June 16th as the day he got of coma and not just left the hospital? And does it say that he regained consiousness? Awake and conscious are not exactly the same. We don't know anything about his awareness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.40.217.206 ( talk) 09:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

The initial reports were incorrect - Gérard Saillant is not his carer, the Grenoble staff are (he attended as a friend, and gave general comments to the press).
The accident occurred in a small off piste area between two pistes. (People tend not to think of such areas as unsecured, so it is a useful qualification).
He was rushed first to the local hospital in Moutiers, then to to the regional hospital for its specialist facilities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.255.103 ( talk • contribs) 11:49, January 1, 2014 (UTC)

The hospital where M. Schumacher is being treated is the public "regional university hospital" associated with Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble. This hospital treats a very wide range of ailments, by no means restricted to brain injuries. It is however true that, due to its location in the Alps, it has special expertise in the treatment of injuries resulting from mountain sports (e.g. ski in winter).

About the 1997 championship, the article states that during the Jerez Grand Prix, Schumacher was slowing down due to a coolant problem, which allowed Villeneuve to close the gap.

While the subject of his accident is covered at the bottom of his page, I believe it should be noted from the short two paragraphs in the opening that Schumacher was injured in a skiing accident in 29th December 2013.

13:31, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is the best place to note this, but here goes: the final sentence of the opening, which refers to M.Sch. being paralyzed etc. relies on a highly dubious source. A few weeks after these reports, which derive from Philippe Streiff, a self-proclaimed friend of the family, Sch.'s manager Sabine Kehm said the following: "Kehm emphasized that Streiff was not a friend of the family and that he also had no contact with Schumacher's wife or his medical doctor." ( http://www.focus.de/sport/videos/managerin-kein-freund-kein-kontakt-schumachers-zustand-die-drei-merkwuerdigen-aussagen-des-philippe-streiff_id_4371547.html, retrieved 7/18/15). Kehm has been the only reliable source since the accident, and she has handled all media inquiries in this regard. She has made a few generic statements about Sch.'s condition, but there are no specifics. I therefore suggest that the final sentence of the opening either be deleted or replaced by more reliable information. Parsifal12 ( talk) 12:51, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Why does this Michael Schumacher page have 2 infoboxes, one for his racing career and one for his personal life? I cannot find another similar sportsperson with this type of page layout. I would suggest they should be merged together in the top right as with every other page that I checked. I searched for some prior reference to this layout in the talk page and found none. -- Carrben12 ( talk) 13:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

This page definately need clear different sections for Schumacher's different Formula 1 years. What I don't understand is why 2010 onwards all have a separate page for each year when these were probably his worst years in the sport while there is only one section for his world championship years from 2000- 2004 and 1994 and 1995. Whats even worse is that there is only one small paragraph on the 2004 season, samller than that on some of the single races in 2010 to present.
Grid penalties are not relevant to the 'pole positions' stat. The 68 recorded by this page includes races where he hasn't started in first place due to penalties. The stat is an indication of the number of times a driver has been the fastest in qualifying only. He achieved pole position, but did not start from it, it is simple as that.

Sarcastic? Possibly, but then ill-informed pomposity sometimes needs to be pricked. Semi-abusive? In what way? I pointed out your lack of knowledge, I asked a couple of questions, and I provided a healthy list of sources that prove just how misinformed you are. If you find being proven wrong, using multiple, highly reliable, independent, third-party sources is "semi-abusive" then you really should make sure of your facts before telling a whole string of established editors that you are in the right. Now, rather than remove the comments, how about you respond to them? Pyrop e 21:57, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
At the start of the press conference after the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix Qualifying, the interviewer congralutated him with his 69th pole position. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.24.57 ( talk) 15:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
This session was not the same as the qualifying for the Spanish GP. In Spain Hamilton got disqualified from qualifying meaning that Pole Position was no longer his. In Monaco Schumacher did qualify on Pole, but was relegated 5 places because of a penalty, he didn't lose his 69th Pole Position. Even on Formula One video games, if you are fastest in qualifying, but get relegated becuase of a penalty, the Pole Position is still counted as yours. Surely therfore this is Schumacher's 69th Pole, not Webber's 10th. Dodo497 ( talk)
I think Schumacher's entry for the 1999 British Grand Prix should be a DNS, not a Retirement. Schumacher crashed on the aborted first lap of the race, and failed to make the restart. Under Regulations 156/157A of the FIA 1999 Sporting Regulations (link here), following a red-flag within the first 2 laps of a race, the first start will be null and void and the race restarted from scratch. As Schumacher was unable to take the restart, he should be DNS by the same token as Barrichello, Panis, etc at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix. Obviously this would have an effect on his total starts, making the 300th start claim on 2012 Italian Grand Prix incorrect.

I dont know, from the article I dont feel a sense of the greatness he imposed over f1, it seems a little biased, more of a 'He was good, but it was annoying as no one else won' rather than, although he did stamp out the competition he was admired by the public.... everyone says so, even ecclestone (the king of f1 no matter what you say) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malkitas ( talk • contribs) 22:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I was reading some of this article today, and enjoying it, when I came upon a dead or empty link in this section: Michael_Schumacher#Helmet:
Schumacher, in conjunction with Schuberth, helped develop the first lightweight carbon helmet. In 2004, a prototype was publicly tested by being driven over by a tank; it survived intact. [1] The helmet keeps the driver cool by funneling directed airflow through fifty holes.
This link no longer has content in it: <ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.jeccomposites.com/composites-news/682/Even-a-tank.html |title= Even a tank can't halt schu now |accessdate=8 November 2006 |publisher=JEC Composites}}</ref> However, I went to the internet wayback machine though and found a snapshot of the nice content that used to be there: http://web.archive.org/web/20070108220644/http://www.jeccomposites.com/composites-news/682/Even-a-tank.html. I'm sorry, I don't know how to fix this, that is, how to reformat the citation to include the archive URL from wayback machine. Can someone more knowledgeable address this please? Thanks! joepa T 18:23, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

>> Schumacher being brought out of coma( Lihaas ( talk) 16:59, 30 January 2014 (UTC)).
there have been several efforts to update the date of his status. i think this is wrong - we cannot go beyond what reliable sources report that his doctors say, and the last report was March 7. he could have died last week, right? Or two days ago he could have taken a turn for the worse, or have woken up altogether. we just don't know... interested in hearing other folks' thoughts. Jytdog ( talk) 15:37, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
There are two separate issues here:
"He was in the coma from 29 December 2013 until 16 June 2014", "By 16 June 2014, Schumacher had regained consciousness and left Grenoble Hospital".
Are you sure that the source material specify June 16th as the day he got of coma and not just left the hospital? And does it say that he regained consiousness? Awake and conscious are not exactly the same. We don't know anything about his awareness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.40.217.206 ( talk) 09:35, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Please change "He has left the hospital in Grenoble for further rehabilitation at an undisclosed location. [1]"
To: He has left the hospital in Grenoble for further rehabilitation at the University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland. [1]
The BBC article actually states this, and it has been reported in many other news outlets:

The initial reports were incorrect - Gérard Saillant is not his carer, the Grenoble staff are (he attended as a friend, and gave general comments to the press).
The accident occurred in a small off piste area between two pistes. (People tend not to think of such areas as unsecured, so it is a useful qualification).
He was rushed first to the local hospital in Moutiers, then to to the regional hospital for its specialist facilities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.255.103 ( talk • contribs) 11:49, January 1, 2014 (UTC)

The hospital where M. Schumacher is being treated is the public "regional university hospital" associated with Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble. This hospital treats a very wide range of ailments, by no means restricted to brain injuries. It is however true that, due to its location in the Alps, it has special expertise in the treatment of injuries resulting from mountain sports (e.g. ski in winter).

About the 1997 championship, the article states that during the Jerez Grand Prix, Schumacher was slowing down due to a coolant problem, which allowed Villeneuve to close the gap.

While the subject of his accident is covered at the bottom of his page, I believe it should be noted from the short two paragraphs in the opening that Schumacher was injured in a skiing accident in 29th December 2013.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to note this, but here goes: the final sentence of the opening, which refers to M.Sch. being paralyzed etc. relies on a highly dubious source. A few weeks after these reports, which derive from Philippe Streiff, a self-proclaimed friend of the family, Sch.'s manager Sabine Kehm said the following: "Kehm emphasized that Streiff was not a friend of the family and that he also had no contact with Schumacher's wife or his medical doctor." ( http://www.focus.de/sport/videos/managerin-kein-freund-kein-kontakt-schumachers-zustand-die-drei-merkwuerdigen-aussagen-des-philippe-streiff_id_4371547.html, retrieved 7/18/15). Kehm has been the only reliable source since the accident, and she has handled all media inquiries in this regard. She has made a few generic statements about Sch.'s condition, but there are no specifics. I therefore suggest that the final sentence of the opening either be deleted or replaced by more reliable information. Parsifal12 ( talk) 12:51, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Why does this Michael Schumacher page have 2 infoboxes, one for his racing career and one for his personal life? I cannot find another similar sportsperson with this type of page layout. I would suggest they should be merged together in the top right as with every other page that I checked. I searched for some prior reference to this layout in the talk page and found none. -- Carrben12 ( talk) 13:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
