Vincenzo Sospiri - The Man Who Inspired Schumacher

Over a decade ago now, the great Michael Schumacher sat down for an interview, where he admitted one of his racing inspirations was a man by the name of Vincenzo Sospiri. And whilst Schumacher has his place in history as one of the greatest of all time, Sospiri’s legacy is, well, not quite the same. So what happened? We look over Vincenzo’s racing career in an attempt to figure that out, briefly stop by the obligatory F1 YouTuber right of passage of covering MasterCard Lola, and there’s even time to watch Taki Inoue being hit by a safety car. Because there’s always time to watch that.
