Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher received a special honorary award at this year’s gala. This honors the seven-time champion for his work off the track.
Three honorary awards were presented by FIA President Jean Todt at this year’s FIA gala, the traditional season finale in which the year’s world champions receive their trophies. One of the awards went to rescuers from Romain Grosjean, who was lucky in his fire accident in Bahrain.
Another award went to Lewis Hamilton, who stood out for his social commitment. And the third honorary award went to Michael Schumacher, who not only worked tirelessly for greater road safety, but also helped found the Paris Center for Research in Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases (ICM) and overall donated a lot of money to good causes. .
The wife Corinna accepted the award in Geneva, she was one of the few guests who were live at the gala, which was carried out mainly by videoconference. The originally planned event in Munich had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic.
“She loved running,” Corinna said of her husband, in whose name the “Keep Fighting” foundation was established. “I didn’t need a reason for that, it was just in him. He was always motivated and had a big heart for people in need. It was a pleasure for him to do all these things. “And that is why the“ Keep Fighting ”foundation was created.” We want to continue what he started. “
Schumacher’s son Mick was also able to collect a trophy: The 21-year-old, who will compete for the Haas team in Formula 1 next year, won the Formula 2 championship this season.
