Close friend calls for Schumacher to be stripped of controversial F1 title
Roger Benoit, a well-regarded F1 reporter, believes that Michael Schumacher should forfeit his 1994 world title and be recognized as a six-time champion instead. The controversy stems from a crash between Schumacher and Damon Hill during the season finale, which led to Schumacher winning the championship. Benoit argues that Schumacher’s actions in that race tainted his first title. Currently, Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton are tied as the sport’s only seven-time world champions. Schumacher has been out of the public eye since suffering a severe brain injury in a skiing accident in 2013. Benoit, a close friend of Schumacher, declined to provide an update on his health.
