A former F1 teammate and rival of the legendary Michael Schumacher has offered a scathing response to the "appalling" fake interview with the star.
Last month, German magazine Die Aktuelle published what they hailed as "the first interview" with the seven-time world champion since his harrowing skiing accident back in December 2013. Schumacher, 54, was left with permanent brain injuries, and since September 2014 has been cared for by wife Corinna at his family home in Switzerland.
Details of his condition and rehabilitation has been kept private throughout that period, but the publication printed quotes from the German driver, attributing their exclusive to artificial intelligence. The storm that followed saw editor-in-chief Anne Hoffmann fired, with Schumacher's family now taking legal action.
