Michael Schumacher keeps Lewis Hamilton up at night and likely inspires Max Verstappen. Hamilton is tied with Schumacher with seven F1 Driver World Championships, and Verstappen because he has won the last three Driver Championships and is leading in points this season. Schumacher won the Championship twice driving for Benetton in 1994 and 1995 and an astonishing five years from 2000 through 2004 for Ferrari.

In addition to establishing Ferrari as a powerhouse team at the beginning of the 21st century, Schumacher also amassed an unprecedented and unbeaten sweep of podiums, wins, pole positions, and fastest laps. Schumacher, who trained and worked as a mechanic early on, was also noteworthy for his work with Ferrari team engineers and mechanics on the race cars. For many F1 fans in the 1990s and 2000s, Michael Schumacher was the greatest F1 driver in the world.

Porsche wants to teach you how actually to drive their cars

Porsche

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

Now, the team behind PTX is expanding into new offerings for the car.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
