At the Race of Champions in Sydney, Australia over the weekend, motorsport stars came together to honour the beloved German.
Schumacher’s son, Mick, and close friend Sebastien Vettel honoured him at the Accor Stadium.
The pair unveiled a banner that read: “Keep fighting Michael – We miss you.”
It was accompanied by the website for the “Keep fighting foundation”.
