Recognising the current F1® World Championship record holder, Codemasters® today looks at the cars of Michael Schumacher. The in-game trailer, which features in the F1®2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition, the official videogame of the 2020 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, remembers the greatest F1® driver of all time with a mix of archive photography and F1®2020 gameplay.
Players will also be able to drive four of his most iconic vehicles from the 90s and 2000s.

· 1994: Benetton B194 – The season Michael won his first World Championship, winning six of the first seven races
· 1995: Benetton B195 – In a class of its own, it brought Michael his second and Benetton’s first and only World Championship
· 2000: Ferrari F1 – 2020 – The car delivered 10 pole positions, 10 race victories and secured Ferrari its first driver’s World Championship since 1979
The F1®2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition, launching with three days early access, also comes with exclusive themed car liveries and driver customisation items, including a unique podium celebration.
Players who purchase either F1®2020 Seventy or Deluxe Schumacher Edition will have access to the Ferrari F2004. The car, which brought Michael his record-breaking seventh World Championship, a real fan favourite since being introduced to the franchise back in F1® 2017, has now been updated with #1 added to the nosecone and his name embossed on the headrest.
