German-born racing driver Michael Schumacher figured to a harrowing skiing incident nearly two years ago. Dubbed as the most successful Formula One racing driver, Schumacher has attained multiple world championships in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. He finally retired on 2012 after making a comeback in 2010.
