In the cruelest of ironies, after surviving almost two decades in his lightning-paced profession, Formula One (F1) star Michael Schumacher was involved in a near-fatal incident right after his retirement.
In 2013, a year after hanging up his racing boots, the German F1 legend suffered a traumatic brain injury in a horrific ski accident in the French Alps.
Schumacher has not been seen in public ever since.
