Formula 1: One more victory Schumi!

I still find it hard to believe what has happend the last three days...Sunday there was the news that Michael Schumacher was in hospital after an accident during a skiing trip with his family. Nothing too serious so nothing to worry about, we thought. Monday Schumi was in coma and fighting for his life and now he still is. We, as fans, can't stop thinking about him and hoping that he will be ok. But we have faith, Michael will get his 92th victory, his most important victory ever. And we are be right here to support him, as always.

Some people find it hard to believe, but this is a very emotional time for me. I've got two major sports heroes in my life, two men I really admire. Lance Armstrong, which is pretty clear if you see most articles on this blog, and Michael Schumacher. And I can't imagine life without the two of them. Schumacher is a fantastic driver but he's also a lot more to me. He has been an example for many young racers. Sebastian Vettel is probably the most famous example, but sure isn't the only example. So many young people saw Schumacher's victories when they grew up and wanted to race as well, like their hero. I supported Schumi for years, he might have been a Mercedes driver but he was still my favourite. That makes a strong connection and when something like this happens, it's as if it's about a family member or a very close friend. That's how strong that connection is.

This is a just a horrible situation and the irony is just unbelievable. 19 years he has been racing at over 300 km/h and he has never been seriously injured, and now he's fighting for his life after a skiing trip with his family. No, Schumi, you're not gonna leave us like this. Michael has fought and won his whole life and he will win this fight as well. This is the most important race in his life and he will win and get his 92th, and most important victory ever. My thoughts go to the whole Schumacher family and friends who are staying with him during these very difficult times. I hope they can find support with each other and know that millions of people all around the world are thinking of them and praying for a happy ending. I hope they know that they don't have to go through this alone.

At the end, there is nothing else we can do but keep faith, hope and stay positive. Schumi said a couple of years ago: "Your ups and downs in sports, I think they are as normal as daily life: One day you wake up and feel great, the next day you wake up and feel maybe less great." This is just a down, but there will be an up. Once again, Michael Schumacher will do what everybody thinks is impossible. This isn't the finish line. So get well soon and see you later Champion!
