GUESTS at Michael Schumacher’s daughter’s wedding partied until 4am despite noise complaints from neighbours.
Gina, 27, tied the knot with partner Iain Bethke at a villa in Majorca on Saturday – with her F1 icon dad likely in attendance.
Stricken Schumacher is understood to spend a lot of his time at the £27million villa on the sun-soaked Spanish island his wife Corinna bought in 2017.
The seven-time F1 champion has not been seen in public since he suffered a serious head injury after a skiing accident in December 2013 in the French Alps.
But it is believed the 55-year-old was at his daughter’s wedding at the weekend.
There is now speculation Schumacher could attend the wedding celebrations of his son Mick Schumacher after he got engaged at the weekend to his long-term girlfriend Laila Hasanovic.

Staff from Jardines Events, who worked at Gina’s wedding, had to hand over their mobile phones before entering the villa so no photos would be taken inside, reports Bild.
Guests were also instructed to leave their mobile phones at the door and no media were given permission to attend.
The ceremony at the Port d’Andratx villa lasted around half an hour and was followed by a banquet and party.
Guests arrived in the Palm Garden at 4pm, and sat in a semicircle around a white pavilion.

Gina and Iain, who have been together for seven years, exchanged their vows at 4.45pm.
Her floral lace dress cost around 3000 euros (£2,500) and she wore a gold bangle on her wrist from Cartier.
While it was a joyous day for the Schumachers, neighbours of the villa were left bleary-eyed as partying went on until 4am.
Several residents complained they were kept awake by loud music.
The bass from a specially installed music system is claimed to have caused the area to shake, reports Bild.
In Majorca, authorities have been known to cut the electricity of party households when there are too many complaints from residents.
But the Schumachers are said to benefit from a so-called “celeb bonus” – meaning authorities likely turned a blind eye as they’re celebrities.
And the day before the wedding, around 100 guests were invited to a ‘White Party’.
Security measures were ramped up in and outside the exclusive Mhares Sea Club in Puigderrós.
Horse enthusiasts Gina and Iain went official with their relationship nearly seven years ago.
The reports about the wedding in January did not specify whether Michael would attend.
He turned 55 in January just days after the tenth anniversary of his tragic ski accident on December 29.
In September 2020 it was claimed Schumacher was spending time at the villa in Majorca.
Spanish press said he had been moved from his Swiss home to the exclusive property, which is located on the upmarket estate of Las Brisas near Andratx in the south-west of Majorca.
The revelation came after ex-Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore’s ex-wife Elisabetta Gregoraci claimed: “Michael doesn’t speak, he communicates with his eyes.
“Only three people can visit him and I know who they are.”
Speaking on the Italian version of Big Brother, the brunette added: “They moved to Spain and his wife has set up a hospital in that house.”
German tabloid Bild first linked the F1 legend to Florentino Perez’s Majorca mansion in July 2018, saying Corinna snapped it up for £27million so she could spend holidays there with family and friends.
The house was bought by building magnate Perez in 2005 but he put it up for sale in 2017 after the death of his wife Mari Angeles Sandoval.
The villa is part of a 15,000 square metre estate which boasts two swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and a huge palm-tree-fringed garden.
Updates on the racing legend’s health have been few and far between.
Gina and her brother Mick wished their dad happy birthday with touching messages when he turned 55.
Gina wrote on Instagram: “Happy Birthday Papa! throwback to one of many of our adventures.”
The post was accompanied by a picture of her and her brother as kids with the F1 star.
Mick, now 25, wrote: “Happy birthday to the best Dad ever. Love you!”
The message showed a photo of them both wearing helmets, with a young Mick smiling and holding his thumb up as Michael looked lovingly towards him.
Schumacher’s ex-Formula One team Mercedes also posted a birthday message urging him to “keep fighting”.
Michael’s younger brother Ralf, who was also an F1 driver, told Bild at the end of last year: “Nothing is like before.”

He added: “I miss my Michael from back then. Life is sometimes unfair. Michael had been lucky many times in his life, but then the tragic accident happened.
“Fortunately, modern medicine has made it possible to do some things.”
