The Schumacher family was devastated in December of last year when Michael, who claimed 91 grands prix victories during a spectacular career, was left fighting for his life after sustaining serious brain injuries when he hit his head on rock while skiing off-piste with his son Mick in the French Alps.
The severity of the injuries left the 45-year-old German in an induced coma for six months, but earlier this month there was some encouragement for his family and army of fans after he was transferred to his family home in Lausanne, Switzerland to continue his rehabilitation.
And there was further cause for optimism over the weekend when his son Mick finished runner-up to British youngster Enaam Ahmed in the FIA's KF-Junior category at the World Championships in Essay, France.
Mick had until this year adopted the racing surname of Betsch - his mother Corinna's maiden name.
But this season he has raced under the guise of Mick Jnr and after tasting victory in four of his heats, finished six seconds adrift of Ahmed in the grand final to stand alongside the Londoner on the podium.
'Of course I am proud of such an important result,' Schumacher Jnr said before tellingly adding: 'But it is also clear that it is my goal to be world champion. This is only the beginning of my career.'
