It is just over nine years since Michael Schumacher suffered severe brain injuries following a skiing accident. He was taken to hospital and put into a medically induced coma until the following June in 2014. There have not been very many updates on Schumacher since his accident as the family keep everything very private.
Mick Schumacher has just parted way with the Haas F1 team where he raced from 2021-2022. Since not having his contract extended with the team, it has been confirmed that Mick has signed with Mercedes as a reserve driver for 2023.

“306 launches
“91 wins
“68 pole positions
“155 podiums
“77 Fastest laps
“7 world titles
“The legendary Michael Schumacher turns 54 today”
Another Twitter user posted with a memory of Schumacher, writing:
“Michael Schumacher telling Peter Sauber that Kimi Raikkonen would be ‘a big one’ (for the future) during that Mugello test in 2000 will never cease to amaze me!
“What he said: ‘I don’t know who was driving around in your car. But you have to take him, he will be a big one!'”
