Fans of sports docs will want to add this to their Netflix queue.
Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming documentary about former racing driver Michael Schumacher on the 30th anniversary of his very first Formula 1 race.
Titled Schumacher and described as the “ultimate portrait” of the motorsport legend, the streaming service has said the film will chronicle his journey from humble beginnings in Germany to becoming a seven-time Formula 1 champion.
Supported by his family, the documentary also promises to explore the “many facets of his multi-layered personality” and includes rare interviews and never-before-seen archive material.
“In addition to his father and his brother Ralf, Schumacher’s wife Corinna and his two children Gina and Mick, by now a Formula 1 driver himself, speak openly for the first time, as do his closest peers and competitors,” Netflix said in a statement.
“They tell the story of a passionate fighter who pushed the boundaries of his sport further and further, and of the absolute team player who always treated people with high regard and respect.”
The documentary feature will be released on Netflix in Ireland on 15 September.
