There is not a day that goes by where fans and many F1 entities wish a full recovery for Michael Schumacher. The German legend suffered a horrific accident in 2013 and has not been the same and seen since. However, Michael Schumacher is not a man who would be out of mind despite being out of sight for so long. Around the 10-year anniversary of Schumacher’s life-changing tragedy, let’s appreciate the beautifully life-changing thing that happened to him. The appreciation reciprocates though as the special someone back in 2017, 21 years later, revealed the one true happiness.

We are talking about Gina Maria Schumacher, the equestrian daughter of the seven-time champion. The birth of Gina Maria, the eldest of the two offspring of Michael, was a life-changing thing. The then-Ferrari man confessed it back in 1996 in Monza. He was overjoyed but understood his life would change after the birth of his daughter.

She posted a photo that she captured on horseback of a serene lake and put her father’s remembrance in the caption.

The caption read, “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved #keepfighting.”
