Netflix has released a new documentary, Schumacher '94: The Birth of a Legend, chronicling Michael Schumacher’s historic 1994 Formula One championship with Benetton. The film features Corinna Schumacher, who seldom speaks publicly, offering personal reflections on their romance in the early 1990s and the significance of Paula Abdul’s "Rush Rush" as their shared song. She also discusses the demanding daily care she provides for Michael after his 2013 skiing accident, noting the involvement of nurses and therapists.
