## Resource

Schumacher's Ferrari journey didn't start with romance, but politics. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvs In a fascinating interview with the High Performance podcast, former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt revealed some fascinating tidbits regarding the relationship between the Scuderia and two of F1's most powerful drivers of the 1990s: Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Had things played out slightly differently, both men's legacies within Formula 1 could've been rather different. In fact, the whole upper echelon of the GRID would've been different. #f1 #michaelschumacher #ayrtonsenna #formula1 #formulaone #f1history #ferrari #scuderiaferrari #ferrarif1 #jeantodt #schumacher #senna #f1updates #f1facts Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAff NOW we know why Schumacher REALLY signed for Ferrari https://youtu.be/GG3cHzX08Q0 Can't watch the ladder?
