Though Schell never won a championship Grand Prix and enjoyed life as a playboy and womanizer, he was highly respected in period; he twice stood on the podium with a best place of second in the 1958 Dutch Grand Prix, won the Caen Grand Prix of 1956, and balanced those with periodic sports car outings.
Aínda que Schell nunca gañou un Gran Premio de campionato e gozou da vida como un playboy e mullereiro, era moi respectado na época, logrou dous podios cun segundo posto no Gran Premio dos Países Baixos de 1958, gañou o Gran Premio de Caen de 1956, e compaxinou carreiras periódicas nos coches deportivos.
