Seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher got the better of former Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel during the 2011 edition of Race of Champions in their home country. The popular event has been hosted for almost four decades and has seen several champions from different domains in motorsports compete.
The former Ferrari driver Schumacher started participating in the event after his retirement from the pinnacle of motorsport in 2006. He first competed in 2007 and continued until the 2012 season, which turned out to be his final appearance at ROC.
After guiding Germany to its fifth consecutive team's title with the recently-crowned two-time F1 world champion Vettel, during the individual events, Schumacher faced off against him in the makeshift track in the Espirit Arena in Dusseldorf during the quarterfinal stage.
