Michael Schumacher turns 44

Michael Schumacher meant Formula One. His name was synonymous with F1 racing, especially in India. Regarded as one of the all-time great, Schumacher announced his retirement last year. The seven time world champion holds the record for a podium finish in every race of a season from 2002 to 2009. At the 2012 Brazilian GP the world bid a fond farewell to this legendary German driver, for the second time. We might never see Schumi racing on the track professionally, but his success story remains one of the most inspiring tales in sporting history. On his 44^th birthday today, we have put together a special collection of some unseen pics of the speed king! Take a look

The speed kings says goodbye!
