The greatest driver in the history of Formula 1, the German Michael Schumacher, turned 56 today, and on the occasion of the seven-time world champion’s birthday, Ferrari also announced an emotional message.
“You are always in our hearts. Happy birthday, Michael,” they wrote in a greeting on social media alongside a photo of the seven-time Formula 1 world champion at an official launch in Maranello in 1996, alongside a Ferrari F310 that was the first of many red cars that he drove in his career.
Unfortunately, a few days ago it was 11 years since the greatest driver in the history of Formula 1, the German Michael Schumacher, was seriously injured while skiing in the French Alps, and his state of health is still shrouded in mystery.
The seven-time world champion died on December 29, 2013 while skiing in the French Alps, hitting his head on a rock. Although he was wearing a ski helmet, he suffered severe head injuries.
Since then, the media has only been speculating about his health, and the family has kept quiet about everything. Schumacher’s health situation thus became one of the biggest secrets of today’s sport.
During his career, Schumacher won a record seven world championship titles and a record 91 victories. He won the first two championship titles in Benetton (1994, 1995), and from 2000 to the end of 2004, Schumacher won 5 titles in a row in a Ferrari car. He took part in 308 Grand Prix races, and 155 times he climbed to one of the steps of the podium.
The seven-time world champion in Formula 1 also has a special connection with Sarajevo. He came to the capital of BiH for the first time in 1996, and then in December of the following year.
He arrived in the organization of HOPE and UNICEF to visit war-wounded children at the Koševo hospital. The purpose of his visit was part of a UNESCO project to raise money for a specialized hospital for Sarajevo children, victims of shelling and mines.
Because of all this, The Assembly of the Sarajevo Canton has decided to rename the A transversal, in the area of the Novi Grad municipality – MZ “Dobrinja A” and “Saraj-Polje”, to the A transversal “Michael Schumacher”, thus paying tribute to everything that the legendary German done for the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Klix.ba writes.
