Michael Schumacher

Mick Schumacher may be the one representing Michael Schumacher's F1 legacy on the track, but he is also commemorating the seven-time world champion on ...

While Schumacher did emerge from the coma in June 2014, there have been very little updates as to his current condition. It is very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Schumacher uploaded a photo of him and his father when he was still just a young boy. Mick was present when Schumacher fell and hit his head on some rocks while skiing off-piste in 2013. Schumacher is still recovering from the horrific brain injury he suffered during a skiing accident in the French Alps since 2013. However, that has not stopped the 23-year-old from expressing undying love for his father.

If you get the taste of the best there is, you're not going to settle for anything else and so definitely I'll be sticking around in the paddock." That being said, it would be folly to think Schumacher has given up on his dream of mimicking his father's F1 fame. Despite any privilege the youngster might have received due to his family name, Schumacher made a name for himself en route to joining F1's ranks. The Switzerland-born star didn't address his father's accident publicly until March 2017 when he lauded the legend as his "idol." "I'm simply not interested in that.

The former Haas driver took to Instagram to share two pictures of the Formula One legend. One shows Michael behind the wheel during the height of his racing ...

He has since regained consciousness and is living at his home in Switzerland, where he is said to be continuing his rehabilitation. Michael, who is widely regarded as the greatest F1 driver of all time, won seven world championships. Mick, who will take on the role of reserve driver for Mercedes in 2023 following his departure from Haas, shared the update on January 3, with thousands of fans taking to the comments to also wish his dad a happy birthday. A third commented: “Happy birthday to the greatest and kindest man, we love him!” He began his F1 career with Irish team Jordan and went on to drive for Benetton, Ferrari and Mercedes across two spells in the sport. In an update to his 3.3 million followers, the 23-year-old also wrote a special message: “Happy birthday to the best Dad ever, love you!”, alongside a love heart emoji.

Karun Chandhok had perhaps one of the wildest debuts and build-ups to that in Formula 1, plus a memory with Michael Schumacher to cherish.

“And til today, and I told Mick [Schumacher] this story as well, when he came to me, and I said, I really appreciated that as a young kid coming into F1 with a guy who was on my bedroom wall. “So it’s such a shame that the Hispania team, Collin, and [José Ramón] Carabante sort of fell out with Dallara, and that update never arrived. And asked a bit about my background, we had a really polite conversation. And I was a nobody, right? “Mentally, of course, it was all a bit daunting, because there’s so much going on. “Well, physically, I felt ready because I knew this was the one real opportunity with these new teams coming in,” he said, Hispania, Lotus and Virgin being the ones who made it onto the 2010 grid.

Of course, since his second retirement from the sport, a number of his records have been surpassed by Lewis Hamilton but ultimately, no matter your view on who ...

Ultimately, the Ferrari that year was nowhere near good enough to win in normal conditions, with Williams dominating the season. [latest F1 news, rumours and results right here](https://www.givemesport.com/formula-1) at Give Me Sport. He won the race by over 45 seconds and was totally in a league of his own from start to finish – a staggering performance. He was P20 in the early stages of the race thanks to a puncture but stormed back to P4 by the chequered flag, serving as what would, at the time, seem a final reminder of the great man’s race craft. The campaign had started sluggishly but over the course of the year the German took the fight to Fernando Alonso in the Renault, with the Spaniard being the man to end Schumacher and Ferrari’s dominance a year earlier in 2005. Schumacher did not start his final Monaco Grand Prix from pole position but only because of a grid penalty carried over from the race before, after he put in a stellar lap around the streets of Monte-Carlo to post the fastest lap time in the final knock-ins of the session.

Formula One ace Michael Schumacher suffered life-changing injuries in a skiing accident nine years ago and hasn't been seen in public since.

And in my view, that is a little unfair. He told gazzetta.it : "For me, it is a privilege to be close in the family with Michael, with Corinna, with Mick and Gina. "I think me and dad, we would understand each other in a different way now. The land is reported to have cost an eye-watering £2.3 million. We're trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does. Michael always protected us, and now we are protecting Michael." Philippe, a good friend of Michael's who also uses a wheelchair after a racing accident, said: "He is getting better but everything is relative. The German star was skiing in the French Alps resort of Meribel in December 2013 with son Mick, then 14, when he went off-piste and hit his head on a boulder, suffering catastrophic injuries despite the fact he was wearing a helmet. We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he's comfortable. "Everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here - different, but here. In 2016, Schumacher's lawyer Felix Damm told a German court that his client was unable to walk, contrary to reports. But the ones that have been shared paint a picture of a once-great sportsman whose life has become severely limited.
