Michael Schumacher wins hearts with rare public gesture to help Sir Jackie Stewart's charity

F1 legend Michael Schumacher made a rare public gesture by signing Sir Jackie Stewart’s helmet with help from wife Corinna ahead of Bahrain Grand Prix. The signed helmet will be auctioned for Stewart’s dementia charity.

Formula 1 fans around the world were touched after F1 legend Michael Schumacher made a rare and emotional gesture. This was one of the very few public acts he has made since his tragic skiing accident 12 years ago. Schumacher is a seven-time world champion and one of the greatest drivers in F1 history.

Schumacher signed a special racing helmet belonging to another F1 legend, Sir Jackie Stewart with the help of his wife, Corinna Schumacher. He wrote his initials ‘M.S’ on the helmet, which is now even more special because it includes the signatures of all 20 living Formula 1 world champions.

This helmet will be auctioned to raise money for Jackie Stewart’s charity, Race Against Dementia, which is working hard to find a cure for the disease.
