Michael Schumacher, the former 7-time F1 world champion, is a huge name at the pinnacle of motor racing. He has contributed massively toward the sport and considering his work, the former F1 managing director, Ross Brawn has claimed he could have co-owned the Mercedes F1 team.

Michael Schumacher’s last F1 stint before his tragic skiing accident was with Mercedes from 2010 to 2012. He laid the foundation for the German outfit in F1 the rewards of which, were reaped by Lewis Hamilton and Co. for a long time during the turbo hybrid era.

While Ross Brawn feels Schumacher could have continued racing just like Fernando Alonso, he feels the German could have also co-owned Mercedes. While shedding light on it recently, he said, as reported by Formula Passion;

I can well imagine that Michael would have a team today. At Mercedes, the possibility that he could become a shareholder has already been discussed. The first step had already been taken because in 2013 he was brand ambassador.

Looking at the reaction of Brawn, it seems that had the former 7-time world champion not had his tragic skiing accident, there would have been excellent chances of seeing him co-owning the Brackley-based Mercedes F1 team alongside current boss, Toto Wolff.

Michael Schumacher could have won 8 world titles

While Ross Brawn has admitted that Michael Schumacher could have become the co-owner of the Mercedes F1 team, he has also made it known that the latter could have broken his F1 world championship record. Schumacher is joint equal with Lewis Hamilton.

During Schumacher’s prime years, he was a mighty force to reckon with at the pinnacle of motor racing. He used to bash his competitors left and right quite easily and this was one of the main reasons why he was able to amass a record seven world titles in the sport.

While Michael Schumacher is currently in a medically induced coma at his home in Switzerland, his fans all over the world are praying for him continuously to somehow get out of it. However, as per the latest that has come out about Schumacher’s condition, the signs are not very promising.
