Formula One
[edit]In 1993, Schulz began his Formula One commentating career by commentating races for Eurosport in Germany, and moved to the German channel DF1 for 1996, pairing with Swiss Formula One driver Marc Surer. His first Formula One commentary was at the 1996 German Grand Prix and his last was the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix, coinciding with Michael Schumacher's final race. In February 2013, he announced his withdrawal from commentating for personal reasons. He was replaced by Sascha Roos.[1]
After Formula One
[edit]Two months later after his withdrawal, he went on to commentate for the German ADAC GT Masters alongside Patrick Simon.
