Jochen Mass: A Racing Icon/Eine Rennsport Ikone

Product description

The large-format book retraces the story of Jochen Mass, born on September 30, 1946, in Dorfen, Bavaria, and raised in Mannheim, who, after his professional career as a sailor in the merchant navy, entered the world of motor racing.

Jochen Mass wrote motorsport history. His name is closely linked to his extraordinary versatility and technical acumen! From the very beginning, he nurtured the talent of young drivers like Michael Schumacher, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and Karl Wendlinger.

Michael Schumacher was particularly supported by Mass. It was he who advised the future seven-time Formula 1 world champion, during their time together at Sauber-Mercedes, to move to Scuderia Ferrari: “If you make Ferrari strong again, you will become the king of Italy.”
