Fisichella praised Schumacher in an interview with Rai Italia, claiming that the German changed the sport forever by consistently dominating it. The Italian also expressed how proud he felt whenever he was ahead of Schumacher in a race. This shows how powerful the seven-time world champion was back then, to the point where drivers felt great to be ahead of him for a few laps. Fisichella said:
Though Giancarlo Fisichella followed in Michael Schumacher’s footsteps and raced with teams like Jordan and Benetton, he never had the German as his teammate. Despite that, the Italian appreciates his time with Schumacher.
In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fisichella even shared how the legendary driver never seemed tired, even after intense on-track sessions. He said:
Daniel Ricciardo shares his positive conversation with Michael Schumacher
Daniel Ricciardo shared a fond conversation he had with Michael Schumacher that drastically boosted his confidence. In the 2012 F1 Japanese GP, Ricciardo was able to finish in the top 10 and prevent Schumacher from overtaking. After the race weekend, the German came up to the young Australian and commended him for his defensive drive.
Speaking to Speedcafe, Ricciardo said:
Despite having a poor phase with Mercedes in 2012, Michael Schumacher was considered one of the best drivers on the grid. Hence, the Australian cherishes his conversation with the seven-time world champion to this day.
