Just saw this incredible picture of the Mercedes C11, the one that Michael Schumacher drove during the 24hrs of Le Mans. The car only weighed 900kg and was powered by a twin turbo 5 liter V8 with 730bhp. In 1990 he managed to take his first major international victory in this car together with Jochen Mass on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, at that time Michael was only 21 years old. What will he be able to do 20 years later when he will return in another Silver Arrow in the Formula One this year?
