When Michael Schumacher became King of France
Michael Schumacher was aptly nicknamed 'the Kaiser' in Germany, but the F1 legend was also crowned King of France on this day in 2006.
Fourteen years ago today at Magny Cours, Schumacher achieved something no one had ever accomplished before him. The seven-time world champion became the first driver in F1 history to win the same Grand Prix eight times!
Schumacher's triumph was also his 88th career win, and he did it with Ferrari.
This weekend in Hungary, Lewis Hamilton will have an opportunity to equal Michael's outstanding milestone, having previously triumphed at the Hungaroring a record seven times.
