MICHAEL SCHUMACHER STARBOX

Michael Schumacher is the most successful driver in the history of Formula 1. For many years he met famous photographer Michel Comte on his journeys through the paddocks and test tracks of the world.

On the occasion of the 50th birthday of the Formula 1 icon, Keep Fighting Foundation presents the STARBOX, a unique collection of 7 artistic pictures from the world of mobile high technology.

The 7 photos span a quarter of a century and document the various aspects of Formula 1. They are among Michael Schumacher’s selection of his favourite pictures from the internationally renownedphotographer, for whom he allowed greater closeness than in most cases.

When Michael Schumacher’s first career ended in 2006, they both had envisaged the launch of such a compilation; Michael Schumacher then personally signed the insert sheets. The project was however postponed.

The STARBOX will be released in a limited edition of 91 copies, symbolizing Michael Schumacher’s 91 Grand Prix victories. The 7 selected photographs, stamped with Michael Schumacher’s logo, stand for the 7 World Champion titles.

THE 7 PICTURES

Michael Schumacher 7 91

In homage to the unique career of the most successful race car driver of all times, a spectacular series of publications has been published. In two limited special editions internationally renowned photographer Michel Comte celebrates the man whose sporting legacy is likely to remain unequaled for all time.

With seven world championship titles and 91 Grand Prix victories, Michael Schumacher is in his own lifetime the iconic figure in his sport. His records have redefined the history of Formula 1. Even after his retirement, Schumacher has remained the personification of this sport that spans the globe. His name stands for perfection, success, motivation, quality, and team spirit.

Born 1954 in Zurich, Michel Comte is a member of a small, select group of internationally famous photographers. He established a reputation with his portraits of stars from the arts and entertainment scene, with his fashion magazine covers and with his photo reports while working for the International Red Cross. In Formula One, he is equally capable of producing shots in sharp focus as he is abstract, blurred and highly expressive images.

Looking back on this photographic collection, Comte sums up what he has tried to convey as follows: «I met a man who fascinated me, and not just because he was the fastest of them all. I got to know a fantastic team player, a man who injects tremendous energy and dedication into everything he does.» For more than 12 years, he followed Schumacher through his career with a camera and recorded images that convey not only the sheer brute speed of the race track but also the extraordinary intimacy of this private person.
