Happy birthday, champion
Today, Michael Schumacher celebrates his 57th birthday. This milestone is inevitably special, as are all birthdays following the tragic date of December 29, 2013, when the German champion suffered his infamous skiing accident in Meribel.
As happens every year on this date, social media has been flooded with messages, thoughts, and photos dedicated to the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, once again demonstrating the immense affection the motorsport world—and beyond—still holds for the Kaiser.
Among the most ‘official’ posts were those from Ferrari and Mercedes, the two automotive brands that, in different periods and ways, marked the career of the German legend.
“The day a legend was born,” wrote Ferrari’s official social media account, posting a photo of Schumacher. “Happy birthday, Michael. A true F1 icon and an important part of our history,” echoed the official Brackley-based Mercedes team account.
Finally, a tribute also came from F1’s official channel, which remembered the Kerpen-born phenomenon with one of the most recurring images of his career: celebrating on a podium, after winning a Grand Prix, dressed in red.
Happy birthday, Schumi.
