Ralf Schumacher (born 30 June, 1975 in Hürth, West Germany) is a German former Formula One driver who won the Drivers Championship in 2001.
Ralf Schumacher is the younger brother of fellow Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher, whom raced in F1 during the same time period. His son David and nephew Mick are both racing drivers, and are racing in European F3 and Formula 2 respectively.
Formula One
1998: Jordan
After making his F1 debut the year before, Schumacher raced for the Benson and Hedges Jordan team in 1998 alongside Jack Christopherson. Schumacher would be a regular points scorer in 1998, his best results being a pair of third places in Spain and Belgium. He'd finish the 1998 season in eighth place overall.
1999-: Williams
Schumacher and Williams' Heinz-Harald Frentzen would make a straight swap ahead of the 1999 season, seeing Schumacher partner with former Arrows driver Giancarlo Fisichella in an all-new lineup for the British team. Unfortunately for Schumacher, he'd make the swap ahead of a season where Jordan would step up as the 'third' team in Formula One. His best result would be a third place in the season-ending Portuguese Grand Prix and finished the season in ninth place overall.
In 2000, Schumacher would be joined by British rookie Jenson Button at Williams with a car that appeared to show some promise in the early parts of the season - with his young teammate getting two good results in the opening races. However, this promise wouldn't last and the team was frequently fighting for the lower paying points positions. Schumacher would get another two podiums in this season on his way to eighth in the championship.
