Mick Schumacher pays emotional tribute to father Michael on F1 legend's 54th birthday

The motorsport community came together on Tuesday to celebrate the 54th birthday of Michael Schumacher, and son Mick led the procession with a touching tribute.

The 23-year-old has signed on as a reserve driver for his father's final team, Mercedes, ahead of the 2023 campaign. Schumacher Jr. made his official Formula 1 debut in 2021, some seven years after his dad suffered a traumatic head injury, which would change the family forever.

The former prodigy was skiing with his father in the French Alps when seven-time world champion Schumacher suffered the blow in December 2013. The family has endeavoured to keep their affairs private since then, but Mick took to Instagram to share photos of his father, including one where he can be seen in frame as a child.
