Considered to be one of the greatest drivers in Formula One, Michael Schumacher had been retired for only a matter of months when a horror injury changed his world forever.
The German star was skiing in the French Alps resort of Meribel in December 2013 with son Mick, then 14, when he went off-piste and hit his head on a boulder, suffering catastrophic injuries despite the fact he was wearing a helmet. His wife Corrina revealed that on the day of the accident, Schumacher had voiced concerns that the snow wasn't up to scratch and suggested aborting the trip in favour of skydiving in Dubai.
Instead, the F1 legend - who turns 54 today - ended up fighting for his life after undergoing two major surgeries and being placed in a medically induced coma.
