Michael Schumacher has been flooded with support from F1 fans after it was claimed the F1 icon attended the wedding of his daughter, Gina-Maria, over the weekend.
The 55-year-old’s life has been shrouded in secrecy ever since he tragically hit his head on a rock while skiing in the French Alps back in 2013.
Little is known about the Schumacher of today, 11 years on from the devastating incident.
Over the weekend, however, reports said that the F1 icon attended the wedding of his daughter, Gina-Maria, who tied the knot with long-term boyfriend Iain Bethke.
