2day'z word: heroes

Who are the heroes of some of the F1 drivers - who do they or have they look(ed) up to?

Michael Schumacher: “I guess it is no secret that I am quite a soccer fan. When a boy in school my hero was Toni Schumacher, one of the best goal keepers Germany ever had. At every game he would try to give more than 100% without ever showing mental or physical fatigue. I was so full of admiration that at times I pretended he was my uncle.”

Olivier Panis: “Superman, someone who has the power to help people in distress. Particularly young kids.”

Jenson Button: “Lance Armstrong. For overcoming his fate almost by pure will and becoming one of the greatest sportsmen this world has ever seen.”

Ricardo Zonta: “In Formula One clearly Michael Schumacher for his will to win. Outside Formula One the many athletse fighting at the Olympic games because theirs is still a purer view on sporting competition.”

David Coulthard: “The athletes at the Olympic games. They still fight body to body while we have the car and all its gadgets to play with. Outside sports I admire Bono for his career and his commitment to help create a better world. If I could I would bring the likes of Bono, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Margaret Thatcher together for a dinner and see what’s happening.”

Mark Webber: “The men and women at the Olympics. Their spirit is inspiring so many people. The participants of the Paralympics for fighting the odds. And sports itself because it is one of the greatest ambassadors of peace and coexistence of races, religions and economic systems.”

Nick Heidfeld: “Michael Jordan. Though I never had a poster of him on my wall I strongly admired him for his spirit of never giving up a game. Even when it looked hopeless he had that personal strength to turn the odds around and turn an almost inevitable loss into a win.”

Harald 'Toni' Schumacher (born March 6, 1954) was a famous Football goalkeeper of the 1980s and captain of the German national team. He won the 1980 European Championship with the German team and lost two World Cup finals in 1982 (against Italy) and 1986 (against Argentina).

However illustrious his career, though, Schumacher will be remembered for the vicious tackle on a French attacking player, Patrick Battiston, in the semi-final of the 1982 World Cup. Schumacher threw himself, hip first, into the path of the French defender, leaving Battiston unconscious and shattering several of his teeth. Amazingly, the referee did not send Schumacher off, or even award a free kick against him: the ball dribbled over the goal line and a goal kick was (eventually) taken after Battiston was stretchered off. A French national newspaper conducted a poll shortly after the World Cup to find the most hated man in France, and Schumacher managed to beat even Adolf Hitler (who finished second) into first place.

Schumacher's nickname 'Toni' refers to famous German goalkeeper Toni Turek.
