The legend Schumacher holds the joint all-time record for F1 championships (seven) but has not been seen publicly since a skiing accident in December 2013, which caused him to be placed into an induc✅ed coma.

Now aged 53 and living at home in Switzerland, hi🅰s family maintain a dignified silence about his health.

His son Mick drives for Haas in his second season in F1. Taking🌱 part in FIA documentary ‘When We Were Younger’ he lookꦆed at a photo of himself as a child racer with his proud father.

“These are♐ my favourite memories of racing, ꦿespecially racing as a child,” Mick said.

“We always had a very good time.

“I learned so much 🍨from him. It is stuff that I still carry deeply when driving, and stuff that really helps me in day-to-day life too.”

Mick had come under scrutiny earlier this season, even receꦯiving stern words from his own team boss Guenther Steiner, but ended his wait for his first points of 2022 at Silverstone then repeat𓆉ed the feat in Austria.

Mick’s current mentor in F1 in Sebastian Vettel, his fellow German♌. Vettel idolised Michael Schumacher as a child, and in turn, is now idolised by Mick.

Vettel said in the same documentary: “When I was r🔜acing go-karts, once a year Michael would come by and wave a flag to the children. And hand ov🅷er the trophy.

“For us, our hero was coming down.

“I was able to use the opportunity to take a picture with Michael. It was a very special da🔯y.”

Michael Schumacher’s former Ferrari boss, Jean Todt, issued a rare update about him earlier this week, revealing that he visits the legendary former worl꧂d champion to wไatch races together.
