Michael Schumacher was holidaying with family and friends in Meribel, France when the accident happened in December 2013. Schumacher, a very competent skier, was holidaying in France, where he owns a chalet. He was skiing with his 14-year-old son; was not skiing fast but lost control and catapulted 34 feet on to another rock. He smashed his head on the bolder. The force of the collision shattered his helmet. He underwent brain surgery at a Grenoble clinic in France and was then put in a medically induced coma. In April, his health condition improved. 254 days since smashing his head on to rocks in a freak ski accident in the Swiss Alp, he made it home making his wife Corinna, 45, and children Mick, 15, and Gina-Maria, 17, ecstatic. More than the medicine and treatment, it was faith and optimism too ....... wife Corrina and family steadfastly stood by Schumacher and is quoted to be happy at the progress he has made so far and optimistic that much more can be achieved.
Days after came reports that Corinna Schumacher had decided to sell the private jet once regularly used by them. Then came the news Schumacher selling Norwegian mountain holiday home for £2million as he continues to recover from his horrific ski injuries. The sale of the retreat, in Trysil, north of Oslo, came after it was revealed that his family was planning to build a £10million 'hospital' room for the Formula One star at their home in Switzerland. The adventure runs in the gene. Michael Schumacher's 15-year-old son was to follow his father's footsteps after he signed a deal to compete in the Formula 4 series, which nurtures young talents. Mick Schumacher was snapped up by the Netherlands' Van Amersfoort Racing team after he finished second in the world, European and German kart championships last season.

British Grand Prix at Silverstone. In a rain-hit race it was world champion
