Ralf Schumacher published a joint photo at the weekend, in which he is his older brother Michael Schumacher with.
The sample is a treasure of the archives. Schumacher said it was from 1990.
In the picture, Ralf is preparing for a karting competition, and his older brother Michael is giving him final instructions.
– It’s been a few years since this. The best possible coach. This is a great memory from the karting years, Ralf Schumacher wrote in the caption.
Just a year later, Michael Schumacher made his F1 debut behind the wheel of Jordan. A little brother six and a half years younger followed behind. He drove his first F1 race in the 1997 season, also with Jordan.
Ralf Schumacher currently works as an F1 expert for Sky Sports.
The older brother and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was seriously injured in a skiing accident in 2013. Very little information about his health is leaked to the public.
– The worst thing is that he still can’t be anywhere near the old Michael we all remember. That’s very sad, ex-driver Johnny Herbert told Grosvenor Sport last month.
