In 1973, at the age of just four years old, Michael Schumacher sat in a kart for the first time on the circuit in the city of Kerpen, Germany. Fifty years later, the Monegasque brand MONGRIP™, pays tribute to the seven-time Formula 1 world champion and this special anniversary. It was September 8th of that year and the Prancing Horse team had not won in the 'Temple of Speed' for eight years. A passionate crowd of 120 thousand fans flooded the Italian racetrack, painting the gray asphalt as red as their fervor. Upon reaching the podium, Michael expressed his joy with a leap that would become a ritual with each of his future successes. Reflecting on that day, he said: 'I have never seen so much emotion in the fans. It is a true collective madness and this is possible only in Italy. It's fantastic, I had goosebumps on the podium: the fans have waited a long time for this result and they deserve it all!'. A left rear slick tyre signed by Michael himself, mounted on his F310 and used in the unforgettable Ferrari home race, is the rare relic from which MONGRIP™ and the KEEP FIGHTING FOUNDATION have decided to create the limited edition MZ96. Offered with a printed certificate of authenticity containing all the information and images related to the tyre used by Michael Schumacher during the 1996 Monza race.
