For the millions of fans of Michael sSchumacher there is finally good news.
For years, fans of the Formula 1 legend have been asking one question: How is it going? Michael sSchumacher after his skiing accident, which is now more than six years ago? Was on December 29, 2013 Michael sSchumacher fell while skiing in Meribel, France. The tragic consequence: a traumatic brain injury.
Michael Schumacher: Finally good news
After several months in the hospital Michael sSchumacher back to his family. Since then he has been in medical rehab.
His fans would be extremely happy about good news from Schumacher. But the family of the racing icon keeps information about Michael Schumacher’s state of health strictly under lock and key.
In the meantime, there was another bad news that is closely related to Michael Schumacher: The Erftlandring, the legendary kart track of the racing driver, was to be destroyed and given way to the lignite mine.
But now the tide is turning.
Kart track remains
The go-kart track of the seven-time Formula 1 world champion in Kerpen (NRW) now remains. For a long time it looked as if the go-kart track had to give way to the RWE lignite mine. But thanks to the environmentalists who fought bitterly for the preservation of the Hambacher Forest, the kart track can also be preserved.

“Our planning provides for the remaining area of Steinheide not to be used within the current mining area,” confirmed a RWE spokesman for the “Express”: “This also corresponds to the demands of the North Rhine-Westphalian state government on RWE. We therefore assume that the go-kart track located in Steinheide can be maintained. ”
Bittersweet irony: environmentalists ensure that a go-kart track is preserved.

The Erftlandring in Kerpen
The Erftlandring is a historic go-kart track. Later Formula 1 stars such as Ayrton Senna, Mika Häkkinen or Christian Fittipaldi started kart racing there before their careers in the premier class.
For many German Formula 1 drivers like Michael Schumacher and brother Ralf as well as Sebastian Vettel, Nick Heidfeld or Heinz-Harald Frentzen, the Erftlandring was once its own “home circuit”.

Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel discovered at the Erftlandring
The Erftlandring was also the place where Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel were discovered. Carpet and wallpaper dealer Gerhard Noack has reported several times that he discovered “Schumi” and bought the first kart that the young Schumacher used to heat the kart track in Kerpen
For a long time, it seemed that Vettel could follow in the footsteps of the Formula 1 legend. Heppenheimer became the youngest Formula 1 world champion of all time at the age of 23 in 2010, won the title four times and then switched to Ferrari – the racing team that “Schumi” shaped like no other.

But at Scuderia, Michael Schumacher’s footsteps seem too big for Vettel. So far, the success story has not continued, in five years the Italian racing team did not win a world title – most recently, even teammate Charles Leclerc outpaced the German. It remains to be seen how the current German Formula 1 hope will continue in the coming season.
One thing is certain: If there is no contract extension, it will be Sebastian Vettel’s last season at Ferrari. The contract is about to expire, and at the moment both parties seem to have at least doubts as to whether the previously only moderately successful cooperation should continue. Rumors even linked current series world champion Lewis Hamilton to the Scuderia. Should the Englishman take over the cockpit from Vettel, it would be like a slap in the face for the Heppenheimer given the years of rivalry between the two drivers.
Michael Schumacher’s son Mick is also on the way to Formula 1. The 20-year-old is still driving in Formula 2 but is expected to advance to the premier class in a few years. Mick Schumacher is also part of the Ferrari Driver Academy and could therefore follow in his father’s footsteps. (DHE)
