The Phoenix rises - Michael Schumacher |
|
 Mercedes GP RB1
Having stepped wearily from the cockpit of his Ferrari at the end of yet another mesmerizing performance in the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix, few in the sport thought that they would ever see the return of the seven-time world champion. The absolute dominance of the ‘Ferrari era’ that Schumacher had led from 2000-2004 had been ended by a new generation of talent, and it seemed that the story had come to an end.

Local Talent at First Hand |

We meet Zaamin Jaffer, UAE talent and a budding race driver
 Zaamin Jaffer
I was born in Mumbai and lived in Dubai till the age of 14. Whilst I was living in Mumbai I was at boarding school in the UK as well and would spend my time between the UK and Mumbai. I then moved to Dubai with my family and now divide my team between the UK and Dubai for University and racing.
What encouraged you to want to become a racing driver?
After watching a Formula 1 race on television with my family, I became fascinated by the sheer speed of the cars and the whole event in general. The idea of racing at such high speeds, along with my cousin’s interest in the sport is what engaged me. We used to watch all the races every weekend on TV and the more I watched, the more my passion for the sport increased. Moreover, the fact that my family’s business involved construction equipment, I was constantly around engines and tools, which further contributed to my growing interest in the sport.
