Michael schumacher latest: f1 driver says his hero is michael

The 22-year-old driver, who comes from F1's spiritual home Monaco, now races for Schumacher's former team Scuderia Ferrari. And he left fans in no doubt that he regards the

51-year-old German as the best driver in the history of the iconic Italian team. Answering questions from fans on an online forum, Leclerc said: “The hero for me and for many others was

Michael. "I was young when he won, but it was always very impressive. It used to be Michael that I looked at." The young racer hopes for an early start to the season despite the

current restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Leclerc is one of the hottest properties in Formula One after winning the GP3 Series championship in 2016 and the FIA Formula 2

Championship in 2017. Schumacher suffered catastrophic head injuries in a high-speed skiing accident in December 2013. His health has remained a closely guarded secret ever since and his

family have given very few updates on his condition. Schumacher lives at his family's mansion in Gland on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, where he is given round-the-clock care by a host of

medical professionals, including doctors, nurses and other employees. Fans fear he could be at an increased risk of coronavirus as a result of the medical treatment he has undergone over the

last six years. Schumacher, the most successful F1 driver of all time, was put in an induced coma for six months after the accident and has been largely housebound since, meaning his body

may struggle to fight COVID-19. _(Additional reporting by Monica Pallenberg)_
