Michael Schumacher is arguably one of the greatest Formula One drivers in history. We still feel his influence on the world of motorsport to this day, despite his unfortunate accident in late 2013.

During his time at the pinnacle of the sport, he won 91 races and 7 world championships. But in 2022, he will get awarded the State Prize from his home state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the highest award given by the federal state.

“There are few people in Germany who have shaped an entire sport as much as Michael Schumacher has shaped racing. He never lost his feet on the ground as a person and always kept an eye on his fellow human beings. To this day, he is one of the outstanding personalities in global sports history and remains a role model for many,” said the Prime Minister of the state. [Translated by Google]

Schumacher‘s wife Corinna, along with their children Haas F1 driver Mick Schumacher and Gina Schumacher, would be present to take the award. Former FIA President and close friend of family Jean Todt will also be present at the function.
