According to the latest report from The Bit Bag, four-time world F1 champion Sebastian Vettel told SID news agency, "It is a shame that he cannot be here with us now- it's difficult for us all. We know that he keeps fighting, we know that he's not well, so we wish him all the best."

According to Vettel's statement, the seven-time world champion is already being missed his colleagues in the motorsport industry.

"It is generally a difficult issue, but clearly I think almost everyone here knows him personally," Vettel added. "The bottom line is that he is a good friend, and a friend that we are missing here now."

Meanwhile, Sebastian recently dedicated his win in the Race of Champions at London's Olympic Stadium to Schumacher, FoxSports reported. Vettel is a close friend of Schumi, after the ex-racer recommended him to join the Ferrari team.
