5 most memorable races of Michael Schumacher in Mercedes

#5 Belgian GP 2011

Schumacher Scythed his way through the field and beat Rosberg on his way to a great result

Poise, calm, collected and relentless are the words that come to mind when you think of this race that Schumacher was able to put together. Starting from the far end at the start of the race, Schumacher picked up the cars one by one throughout the race using the DRS to great effect and rising up the order.

At that point of time it was almost impossible for Mercedes to think of beating the challengers from McLaren or Red Bull or Ferrari but the icing on the cake was Schumacher coming from the back and by the end of the race he ended up ahead of his teammate Nico Rosberg who started some distance ahead of him on the grid. This was surely one of the best races for Schumacher in his second stint.
