This was the main problem I had with it as well.

It focused heavily on those years, but not in a particularly relevant way, and then 2001 to 2006 were totally glossed over, despite the fact those were his most dominant years by far. Also, I saw footage of Barrichello at least twice, when they were meant to be showing Schumi. That's quite a major mistake.

I think the documentary needed to be twice the length, or in two parts, to have gone in any more depth.

Yes lots of footage errors! And even a poster ad had the wrong car on it. Schumacher never raced the F412 T2 but it was on the poster. And it wasn’t from his Estoril test.

You have absolutely right - two parts would be more suitable because of rich career of Michael. There are many others information and interesting parts of his "motor life". Who knows, maybe some time will be prepared a series of MS?

I honestly have to say I turned it off after 15 minutes. Bored me to tears. Not helped by the fact the version I was watching had no English subtitles and I dont understand German.
I would almost rather watch an episode of the other awful Netflix series thing that some folk raved about . Cant even remember what its called. Something to do with surviving I think..

I haven't watched it yet. I don't have Netflix so a friend got my a version to download that I have sitting ready to watch, but I can't seem to find the time and inclination to watch it. I watched the Senna story, only the once. I still have it, but I can't bring myself to watch it again.

I'm probably skipping it too. I wanted something more insightful and no-holds barred (like Senna) than what this sounds like from descriptions.

Struggles are always more interesting topics

Anyway I think a schumi doc should be shorter, not longer ;)
