      Michael Schumacher update as bombshell new documentary to shed light on stricken star 10 years after tragic ski accident

      by

      FANS of German F1 legend Michael Schumacher will be offered a rare glimpse at his life ten years on from his devastating ski accident.Schumacher, 54, has not appeared publicly nor have details of his health condition been revealed since 2013, when a blow to the head left him in a medically-induced coma for 250 days.

      But a new five-part documentary by German broadcaster ARD may shed some light on what happened all those years ago and how the former Ferrari and Benetton star is now faring.
      The documentary, to be aired on December 28, will explore Schumacher’s early years including his rise to prominence, from a go-karting background to one of the best drivers in Formula One history.
      It will mark the 10-year anniversary of his horrific skiing accident, which occurred in the French Alps on December 29, 2013.
      The new series will follow a 2021 documentary produced by Netflix in which Schumacher’s wife Corinna remained tight-lipped about her husband’s condition, saying only that he was “different” post-crash.
      More on Michael Schumacher
      Corinna is known to have protected her husband’s privacy to such an extent that only their immediate family and the closest of their friends know any details about how he is doing.
      Recently, in an interview with German magazine Bunte, Schumacher’s brother Ralf shared he now had little to do with the F1 star’s immediate family, including his wife and kids.
      Ralf said: “When I see his children Gina-Maria and Mick, my heart smiles.
      “If someone in the family is looking for my advice, I’m there. They go their own way.”
      Most read in Motorsport
      He made clear he still loved his brother’s family and said of his accident: “Unfortunately, sometimes life isn’t fair.
      “We have to accept it.”
      Meanwhile, Schumacher’s pal, former F1 driver Timo Glock, claimed to have kept in contact with the seven-time world champion.
      He told LuckyBlock: “I’ve also known other members of his family for a very long time, but I try not to impose on their privacy.
      “I respect their right to be private, and I don’t discuss Michael’s condition with them.”
      News of the upcoming documentary came mere days after the Schumachers’ family lawyer, Felix Damm, explained why a “final report” on the racing legend’s health post-accident was never made public.
      Speaking to German news outlet LTO, he said: “Of course, we discussed a lot about how this is possible. So we also considered whether a final report about Michael’s health could be the right way to do this.
      “But that wouldn’t have been the end of it and there would have had to be constantly updated ‘water level reports’. Because as those affected, it is not up to you to put an end to the media.
      “They could pick up on such a report again and again and ask, ‘And what does it look like now?’ one, two, three months or years after the message.

      “And if we then wanted to take action against this reporting, we would have to deal with the argument of voluntary self-disclosure.”
      He said he understood fans’ interest in Schumacher’s health but believed they should be able to respect his family’s privacy.

      Ex-F1 engineer Rob Smedley launches new karting series for kids, with supporting cast that includes Idris Elba.

      by

      EX-F1 engineer Rob Smedley is trying to change the future of motorsport – with a little bit of help from Hollywood star Idris Elba.Smedley, who worked at Ferrari and Williams, has launched the Global Karting League, an electric go-kart series targeted at youngsters – whose parents don’t have deep pockets.
      Rob Smedley wants to do something ‘more purpose driven’ after leaving F1

      A junior karter gets to grips with the electric kart
      The series, which kicks off in the UK, will offer kids the chance to turn up and race electric go-karts for a fraction of the price of traditional petrol karts.
      Smedley, who is also working with the Idris Elba Speed Academy, hopes Global Karting League will give young racers the opportunity to reach F1 from different demographics.
      He said: “I’ve spent all my life in Formula One and when I stopped with the teams I wanted to do something more purpose driven.
      “One of the things that really interested me was how the majority of the drivers in F1 come from privileged backgrounds.
      READ MORE TOP STORIES
      “And that only seemed to be getting more and more prevalent. I spent a lot of time looking at why and it comes down to grassroots level.
      “If you want to participate and be successful, you’ve got to have a huge budget and that’s just prohibitive. A huge barrier.
      “If you want to race at national level, you are getting into £100,000 and the next level and race in Europe, that’s £250,000 a year and it’s not open to anyone but ultra high net worth families.
      “We started with a blank sheet of paper and wanted to massively reduce the cost and complexity and that’s how the Global Karting League was born.

      “It is about nurturing talent, creating a credible pathway through karting from the very grassroots and kids who’ve never done it before, to eventual world champions.”
      Smedley says that unlike football, many potential star drivers have never had the opportunity to try their hand at racing.
      He added: “If football was costing tens of thousands of pounds, we wouldn’t have found the immense talent across the years from different corners of the Earth.
      “You wouldn’t have found Leo Messi, you wouldn’t have found David Beckham, Paul Gascoigne or George Best.
      “We also have the Idris Elba Speed Academy. He’s somebody like myself who wants to give back.
      “He wants to represent those underrepresented communities. We had 400 kids try out and we filtered that down to 12 kids with the highest potential and put them into the Global Karting League, and they are all fully-funded.”
      One junior karter on the series is Sienna Greene, 15, from Coulsdon, who has the ambition of reaching F1.
      She said: “I first tried karting at a birthday party when I was about nine and I won and a little later I joined a cadet programme at my local track.

      “Working with Idris has been fun. He’s a lovely person, and he’s really down to earth.
      “I prefer racing the electric karts to the petrol ones because if I do make a mistake, I find it easier to fix, compared to a petrol kart which takes longer to get back up to speed.” More

      She has highlighted their relationship as a reason to be grateful for the fame she found amid the Beckham scandal.
      She said: “I like the way my life has taken me.

      And following the hit new Netflix series Beckham, Rebecca has spoken out for the first time – slamming David for playing the “victim” – but also in a bid to put the suspected infidelity behind her.
      Since the scandalous era, Rebecca went on to marry Sven Christjar Skaiaa who she said is “nothing like” the footballing legend, reports the Mail on Sunday.
      Describing herself as “happily married” to the Norwegian doctor, the couple live in Norway with their two sons Magnus, 13 and Liam, ten.

      The news outlet revealed after the doc was released, Rebecca said: “The simple truth is that I am very happily married.
      “I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.”
      And speaking of her past that she regrets, Rebecca said she doesn’t keep anything from her kids.
      She added: “I’m very open about everything. They know Mummy’s been a naked model and been on the cover of Playboy….
      “They know their mummy has a naughty side!”
      Privately-educated Rebecca was appointed as an aide to Becks — 800 miles away from his wife Victoria, 49 — after his £25million move to Spain.
      Without referencing the liaison directly, Becks, 48, said in the documentary that stories about the alleged affair were “horrible” and left him “feeling sick every day”.
      But Rebecca last night hit back, claiming: “The stories were horrible, but they’re true.
      “It’s all, ‘poor me’. He needs to take responsibility.
      “I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he’s making me look like a liar.
      “If I stay silent I will be known as the liar, the one who made up stories.
      “He is indirectly suggesting that I’m the one who has made Victoria suffer…. He’s the one that’s caused the suffering.
      “He talks in the documentary about this ultimately being his private life, shutting it down.

      “I think it’s one thing to keep your private life to yourself. It’s another thing to mislead the public.”
