I watched the Schumacher Netflix Documentary last night. It gave an insight into what Michael was like outside of F1. I had already read from other drivers that he was very good company and liked to party privately at home. What came across in the documentary was that he is incredibly shy and doesn't trust people easily. He hated the publicity, but loved driving and was fiercely protective of his family. He seems to have a strange relationship with Ralph, but that wasn't really focused on apart from Ralph's initial reaction at the press interview after they pointed out to Michael that he had equalled Senna 41 wins at the 2000 Italian GP and he breaks down into tears. He was under enormous pressure to deliver Ferrari a Drivers Championship after 4 seasons. Of course he then went on to deliver 5 on the trot! His work ethic was something else. The early starts, the late nights, the testing and drive to succeed.
I think allot of credit should be given to the Schumacher family for allowing and cooperating with the documentary. They didn't have to do it and they even provided interviews themselves which added to the experience. They don't need the money, so it wasn't about that.
