For charity: Helmet of the world champions: Michael Schumacher also signed

This helmet was also particularly pleased with the initials of Michael Schumacher with a racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart. Before the Grand Prize of Bahrain, the 85-year-old Scotsman presented the head protection with the signatures of all still living world champions of Formula 1. Stewart himself had won the title three times and did not miss a round in the 1973 World Champion Tyre in the desert of Sakhir.

The collection of all champions, “who are still among us”, is complete, said Stewart, referring to Michael Schumacher’s initials “MS” of the “Daily Mail”. The helmet is to be auctioned in favor of the charity organization “Race Against Dementia”. Jackie Stewart’s wife is demented.

Schumacher has not been in public since the skiing accident

As the British newspaper “Daily Mail” and Stewart reported, wife Corinna helped the record world champion of Formula 1, who had a skiing at the end of 2013, when signing. Schumacher’s spokeswoman Sabine Kehm confirmed the “Daily Mail” report to the German press agency.

Schumacher has not appeared in public since his skiing accident in the French Alps. The now 56-year-old seven-time champion had suffered a heavy traumatic brain trauma in a fall. Details about his condition have not been known for years.

The helmet, which the former and current racing drivers signed, commemorates the head protection that Stewart wore during his own career in the 1960s and 1970s. He is white with the famous Scottish caroma pattern Royal Stewart Tartan.
