This appearance moves millions of fans of Michael Schumacher (51) around the world. Corinna Schumacher (49) receives an award for her Schumi at the annual FIA World Motorsport Federation gala.
The Formula 1 legend receives a special award on behalf of the President of the FIA, Jean Todt (74). That Corinna dares to go on stage is surprising. He rarely appears in public. At the Geneva gala he is now making an exception.
“I always had a big heart”
“She loved running so much,” Corinna says of her husband. “Michael has always had a great heart to make a difference for people in need. It was always a great pleasure for him. With the campaign to keep fighting, we wanted to continue what started. “
An emotional moment. Because Schumi himself has long been a person in need. Since his serious ski accident on December 29, 2013, he has lived in isolation from the public. Few people know the health status of the seven-time world champion.
One of them is Jean Todt. The family friend keeps telling us about his visits, but he never says too much. At yesterday’s gala, the Frenchman said: “Michael was always ready to support anything that helps society. We need people with leadership qualities and passion. “
Awards for Hamilton and Mick Schumacher
In addition to Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton (35) was also awarded the “President’s Special Award”, among other things because he is so committed to diversity. The same is true of the rescue team in Bahrain that brought ROmain Grosjean out of the fiery hell.
For the rest, the trophies in particular from last season were awarded. Here also the same names: Schumacher and Hamilton.
Schumi’s son, Mick Schumacher (21), received his trophy for the overall Formula 2 victory. Hamilton those for his seventh world title. Schumi junior: “In the last few days I have tried to realize what happened this year and how far we have come.” (SME)
