F1: Michael Schumacher at his best - Top 5 races of all time

#2 European Grand Prix, 1995

Michael Schumacher wins for Benetton back in European Grand Prix 1995

This race marked the return of Formula One to Nurburg, Germany after almost a decade. Michael Schumacher who was back then driving behind the wheels of Benetton showed his skill to hunt down the lead rather than dominating from the front. 1995 season was that one which saw the rise of the genius, who won all his ‘home’ events the German Grand Prix, Belgian Grand Prix, Monaco Grand Prix and this European Grand Prix at Germany.

Rainmaster is known for his excellence in wet conditions, in this case, the race has mixed conditions. Initially, the track was wet and later during the course of the race it dried out. “I decided not to risk starting on slicks because the car felt so critical in these conditions and I wanted to play safe for the championship” proclaimed Schumacher after winning the title going past Ferrari’s Alesi and Williams’ Coulthard. After a minor collision with Alesi left him 30 seconds behind, later he clawed that time back through perfect strategies and daring overtakes to claim the lead with just 2 laps left for the Chequered flag.
