A rare and strong gesture. For the first time since his ski accident in late 2013 in Méribel (Savoie), the legend of Formula 1 Michael Schumacher gave a sign of life publicly by signing an autograph. The seven -time world champion, with the help of his wife, wrote his initials “MS” on a helmet carried by the triple world champion Jackie Stewart in his last race in 1973, and signed by the twenty world champions in the discipline still alive.
“It’s fantastic that Michael was able to do it too. With the help of his wife Corinna, he affixed his initials MS On the helmet. This completed the whole, “said the 85 -year -old F1 world champions. The ex-British ex-pilot went back to his 1973 Tyrrell this Sunday to make a lap by wearing this collector’s helmet on the head on the sidelines of the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The helmet will soon be sold at auction to raise funds for the benefit of the charitable association “Race Against Dementia”, which Jackie Stewart founded after his wife was diagnosed as with dementia. This helmet decorated with signatures from world champions like Alain Prost, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel or Max Verstappen may well be sold to a record sum.
At the end of March, Michael Schumacher became a grandfather for the first time after Gina Maria Schumacher, the older girl of the former pilot, gave birth to a little girl named Millie, she announced on Instagram.
