Michael Schumacher, one of the world's greatest Formula 1 ex-racers, was remembered by his fans and former contenders during the 2015 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps, Belgium. At the same time, his wife Corinna made a public appearance by attending their daughter's (Gina Schumacher) competition for FEI European Reining Championships.
Photos shared by Daily Mail about FEI European Championships show riders guiding their horses through a sequence of spins, circles, and stops. Gina emerged champion of the Juniors and Young Riders for the FEI championships competition in the early parts of the year.
Mika Hakkinen, who was part of the 2015 Belgian Grand Prix, and a double world champion recounted through a blog his great pass at Schumacher that made him win at the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix - describing the experience as the "Greatest circuit of them all."
According to NBC Sports, Hakkinen said, "I hope and pray that those positive signs will continue. Sometimes miracles happen and I greatly believe and pray that a miracle happens for Michael sometime soon. Keep fighting, my old friend."
Hakkinen as well talked about some of his good memories with Schumacher. He said, "He was a tremendously aggressive contestant, but you could say that about all the great champions. One does not easily win world championships seven times if he is soft-hearted, and Michael was never soft-hearted."
While there are no further news concerning Schumi's health condition after having an accident while skiing in French Alps in Dec. 2013, fans are optimistic that the renowned ex-racer will recuperate.
Through social media sites like Facebook, one of the fans said revealed that they are writing a book with messages of encouragement to the family as they go through this difficult time.
