(very selflessly, also can I add) funded his F1 debut with Jordan, even if Mercedes did not agree with an F1 team on the time and wasn’t advise as an engine manufacturer either. They’d nothing to contain,
Effectively, they had been before all the pieces planning to re-enter the sport with a works team in 1993 (to be bustle by Peter Sauber), and that they had build clauses in Schumacher’s Jordan and Benetton drives that if/when Merc got right here in as a team, that they had first appropriate to Michael as a driver. The draw was once, be pleased in Neighborhood C, to agree with Schumacher and Wendlinger as their drivers and Peter Sauber running the operation.
The arrangement to advance in as a team even went to the extent of hiring Harvey Postlethwaite to contain them a car for the 1993 regs, however they ended up taking flight, and most attention-grabbing coming in as an engine seller (by Ilmor) for the independently funded and bustle Sauber team.
Do not be fooled by the apparent selflessness of those machinations, the total level of getting Michael into F1 thru Jordan by paying was once so that he’d agree with some skills of the sport before changing valid into a Merc works driver.
Lastly, on the time Michael was once considered as a talented, hasty driver, however before his Jordan exams, no one in F1 was once particularly alive to by him for a force. HHF was once considered as faster than him on the time. Potentially the most spectacular part of Michael’s early F1 profession for the paddock in overall was once that he looked as if it can advance out of nowhere and gave supremely spectacular performances from literally his very first F1 test.
