abstract
| - Michael Schumacher's 1991 season was his first in Formula One. He drove in the last six races, scoring four points and being classified in fourteenth place in the championship. He drove his first race for Jordan and the remaining five for Benetton. Schumacher, at age 22, made his début at the Belgian Grand Prix for Jordan, replacing Bertrand Gachot, who had been arrested in Britain. Schumacher performed above expectations; qualifying seventh for the race before retiring on the first lap with clutch failure. A controversial move to Benetton immediately followed. Benetton were looking to replace Roberto Moreno, and Schumacher's evident talent looked to make him the perfect choice for the future, and they signed him on a contract until the end of 1995, away from Jordan who wanted Schumacher to commit to the end of 1992. Moreno signed for Jordan as a replacement for Schumacher, effectively swapping seats with the German. He made an immediate impact, scoring his first points with a fifth-placed finish in Italy, which was followed by sixth places in Portugal and Spain, the latter from fifth on the grid. He retired from the final two races of the season.
