Streaming firm Netflix has said it will release a documentary about German Formula One icon Michael Schumacher on October 2.
It has been produced with the involvement of his wife Corinna and looks back on the 1994 season, when the then 25-year-old won the first of his joint-record seven titles.
The focus is on Schumacher's journey from outsider to world champion.
The season was marked by sporting success, allegations of cheating against his Benetton team and tragic events, including the fatal accidents involving Roland Ratzenberger and three-time world champion Ayrton Senna.
Among those recalling the events are Corinna, former Benetton team principal Flavio Briatore, ex-Formula One commercial chief Bernie Ecclestone, former driver David Coulthard and Schumacher's then manager Willi Weber.
The documentary also addresses the beginnings of so-called "Schumi-mania" in Germany.
Schumacher edged past Briton Damon Hill by one point in the controversial season finale in Adelaide, Australia in 1994.
The now 57-year-old has not been seen in private since suffering a serious head injury when skiing in 2013.
