      Michael Schumacher update as his ex-F1 team urges him to ‘keep fighting’ as mystery surrounds health on 55th birthday

      by

      MICHAEL Schumacher’s ex-Formula One team Mercedes have urged him to “keep fighting” on the day of his 55th birthday.The message of support comes as the seven-time F1 world champion continues to recover from a tragic skiing accident in December 2013.

      The legendary German was left fighting for his life after suffering a severe brain injury that saw him placed in a medically induced coma.
      But since being discharged from hospital in September 2014 to receive treatment at home, his recovery has been shrouded in mystery.
      The birthday message from Mercedes, however, provides some minor update and suggests the 55-year-old is still battling back to full recovery.
      Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the official Mercedes account wrote: “Happy Birthday, Michael. Today marks the @F1 legend’s 55th birthday. #KeepFightingMichael.”

      Attached was a photo of Schumacher celebrating in Mercedes-clad gear and standing in front of one of his former cars.
      Fans flocked to the comments section to send their own birthday wishes to the German, but also to show their support for his wellbeing.
      One person said: “The man who made me fall in love with F1. Happy birthday, legend!”
      A second added: “Greatest of all time. I hope he is doing well.”

      A third wrote: “Keep Fighting Legend!”
      Despite rare glimpses into his health offering little reason for optimism, the world of motorsport still holds the legendary German close to its hearts.
      His personality, racecraft and records have left an irreversible mark on the sport’s history.
      By the time Schumacher made his comeback from retirement in 2010 with Mercedes, however, he took just one podium during his three season stint.
      But it is the seven world championships and 91 wins over a glittering career between 1992 and 2006 that he is best remembered for.
      December 29 marked a full decade since Schumacher crashed while skiing in the French Alps, with his family sharing an agonising message
      The Keep Fighting Foundation, founded and run by Schumacher’s family urged the “inspiration” to keep going.
      But health updates continue to be few and far between, leaving room for speculation and conflicting reports from “insiders” about his slow progress.
      Schumacher’s ex-Ferrari rival, Rubens Barrichello, even revealed the time he was denied a visit to the F1 legend after his fateful accident.
      Speaking to Flow Podcast in his native Brazil, Barrichello said he tried visiting his former teammate after the accident, but was declined after getting a call from Schuey’s team.
      Three years before the crash, Schumacher tied up his £750million fortune to his family in his will and testament, despite being just 41 at the time.

      When questioned on his decision by a German magazine in 2010, he replied: “Because of things that can happen in everyday life.”
      And how right he proved to be during that foreshadowing interview, with Schumacher left fighting for his life three years later.

      It comes as further details emerge about Schumacher’s condition and treatment.
      He is being looked after by an expert team of 15 doctors and his loving wife Corinna at their estate in Switzerland.
      Still seen as one of the greatest F1 drivers in history, Schuey has been receiving 24-hour care ever since he suffered a devastating head injury while skiing in the French Alps. 
      December 29, marks a decade since the driver fell and struck a a rock so hard it split his helmet in two – leaving him in a coma for 250 days.

      German publication BILD recently revealed that alongside the 15 doctors, Schumacher also has a range of masseurs and assistants as part of his care team. 
      BILD also broke the heartwarming news about the ex-Mercedes driver being given regular trips in their cars as part of his treatment.
      The purpose of the trips was to stimulate his brain with familiar sounds of race cars and the roar of a Mercedes AMG engine.
      The seven time world champion dominated motorsport in a decade of dominance between 1994 and 2004 when he won titles with both Ferrari and Benetton.

      Schumacher spent over two decades racing, making his F1 debut in 1991 at the Belgian Grand Prix for the Jordan team.
      He ended his illustrious career after the 2012 season and was replaced by Lewis Hamilton – the man who would go on to equal his record number of world titles.
      Ever since his accident, his family have kept his life and condition completely private and he has not been seen or heard from.
      He currently lives alongside his wife at their Lake Geneva home under the care of a team of doctors.
      The latest news comes after former F1 ace and pal of Schuey – Timo Glock – spoke about what life could’ve been like had the icon of Motorsports never been in the accident.
      The 41-year-old German fantasised over what he thinks Schumacher might be up to today if he was able to recover fully and regain his drive and determination for success.
      Timo Glock said: “He would always have been around the F1 paddock but whether he would have been a pundit, I don’t know.
      “He would not have been the F1 expert in front of the cameras. Yes, he would have done interviews but I think he would have worked for the sport he lived for.”
      But Timo feels like his quest for glory would’ve made him want to continue and win more championships but as a team principle.
      He continued: “Maybe not in the first part of his retirement, maybe later on. But he would definitely have been a good person in that position because he knows exactly what it needs.”
      Other successful drivers have also turned into team bosses such as Alain Prost and Sir Jackie Stewart.
      The driver also said he “never thought it would be that tragic” a decade on from the horror ski crash.
      Timo spoke to BettingSites.co.uk about how he first heard about the news and how he never imagined it would cause so much long-term pain to Michael.

      “We were playing cards and we heard about it on the news. It was a huge shock. You never thought it would be that tragic.
      “With Michael normally you would say he stands up and walks away. But sometimes things can be tragic.”

      by

      FORMULA One world champion Max Verstappen was snubbed when he tried to hire a high-performance car on holiday — as he was too young.The 26-year-old Dutch ace — used to racing at well over 200mph — was denied access to the Mercedes, which has a top speed of 195mph.

      Staff at car rental firm Sixt said that allowing Verstappen — who won his first grand prix aged 18 — to take the AMG GT motor would have breached its insurance policy as he is under 30.
      The Red Bull racer, who this season won his third consecutive F1 world championship, instead had to make do with a less powerful BMW 5 Series.
      He flew to the Algarve in Portugal with family and friends on three private jets last Monday.
      The party had rented around 20 cars from Sixt at Faro Airport and hired the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve racing circuit for two days before Verstappen flew on to Brazil.

      A source said: “Max and the group went to Portugal for a fun racing trip and had booked the cars they wanted.
      “When they got to the airport, Max was shocked when he was told he wasn’t allowed to drive the Mercedes he wanted.
      “He’s a seasoned F1 driver who’s used to handling powerful cars, so it’s quite astonishing to think he wasn’t allowed to get behind the wheel of this one — but those are the rules, so he abided by them.”
      Verstappen, who has hit a top speed of 213mph in his RB19 F1 car, had picked out the Mercedes AMG GT, which can do up to 195.7mph.

      The BMW he was eventually given can cruise at up to 155.3mph.
      His manager Raymond Vermeulen ended up driving the Mercedes.
      Belgium-born Verstappen has won 54 races and made the podium 98 times in his F1 career.
      He has raced for Red Bull since 2016 and is said to have earned £43million this year alone.
      He began karting aged four and was competing in championships at seven. Dad Jos, 51, was also an F1 driver.
      Former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan has said of Verstappen: “I believe he will turn out to be the greatest driver of all time.”
      A Sixt spokesman said: “The employees of our franchise partner in Portugal have only followed the rules that arise for insurance reasons.
      “In order to find a customer-friendly solution on site, Mr Verstappen was provided with another premium vehicle.
      “However, there can be special circumstances that justify a deviation from rules. This is such a case.
      “We apologise to Mr Verstappen. He can rent the car he wants from us at any time.
      “There is of course no doubt at all about his driving skills and his experience with powerful cars.”
      In August, Verstappen appeared to break the speed limit while driving a £2.3million Aston Martin Valkyrie supercar through a tunnel in France.

      Verstappen won his third world title on the bounce and is expected to make it four next time out.
      But Marko, 80, believes he still has room to improve.
      Speaking to Sky Germany, Marko said: “Here and there he gets a little impatient when the car is not exactly to his liking.
      “He becomes even faster and takes more care of the material. That gives him an advantage again. I would never have thought it possible, so I don’t see any limits to the top.”

      “He has made a very decisive step in tyre management. He can drive at the limit without pushing the tyres.

      But the price of his dominant year means he will have to shell out a substantial amount to compete in 2024.
      F1 racing licences for the following season are always calculated by the previous term’s points totals.
      The base cost for the drivers is nearly £9,000, before each point accumulated incurs an additional £1800.
      This means Verstappen’s 575-point total racks up a payment of more than £1m.
      READ MORE IN F1
      The overall total for the Dutch driver stands at £1,046,911.
      However, it is likely Red Bull will cover the cost of the racing licence for their star man.
      Meanwhile, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton will only have to pay £431,349 to compete in 2024 – less than half the fee of rival Verstappen.
      He picked up just 234 points and failed to win a race for a second consecutive season.

      Williams driver Logan Sargeant, who claimed just one point in the 2023 season, will pay the least amount after accumulating a total of just £10,800.
      Verstappen has complained in the past about having to pay the hefty fees.
      He said: “I don’t think it’s right that we have to pay so much.
      “It doesn’t happen in other sports either. And there are more and more races.”
      There will be a record 24 races next season, up from 22 in 2023. More
