His Helmet...
Michael explains how his helmet's paint scheme came about:
"From the area of the visor you see the traditional German black-red-gold. I chose the colours years ago with a friend of mine and I changed it only slightly, mostly to include sponsor decals. The blue circle with the white stars on the top was his idea. After joining Ferrari I added the prancing horse on the back. "
Since
the European GP in 2000, Michael has raced with a modified helmet
design. The blue circle on the top in now painted light red.
The white Marlboro stripe around the top is also now red.
The change was made to prevent confusion between himself and
Barrichello, whose design was confusingly similar. Michael explains how his helmet's paint scheme came about:

F1 Teams Driven for...
| Year | Team | Teammates |
| 1991 | Jordan | 1991 Andrea de Cesaris |
| 1991-1995 | Benetton | 1991 Nelson Piquet 1992 Martin Brundle 1993 Riccardo Patrese 1994 Jos Verstappen/JJ Lehto/ Jonny Herbert 1995 Jonny Herbert |

Schuey entered only one race for Jordan - which
was his F1 debut at Spa Francorchamps in 1991. He qualified 7th but in
the race the clutch burnt out and he didn't make it off the grid. He was
standing in for Bertrand Gachot, who had been jailed in London just
before the GP for an assault with CS gas on a taxi driver!
Michael is Ferrari's most successful driver ever, ahead of Niki Lauda.
