A heartbreaking letter from Michael Schumacher's wife has emerged, providing a rare update on the F1 star's condition.
Michael Schumacher was described as a "fighter" by his wife Corinna in a note sent to Hamburg musician Sascha Herchebach nearly five years after his ski accident in 2013.
Herchebach told German magazine Bunte he sent a song he composed a few months after the tragedy, called Born to Fight, to Corinna to offer the F1 legend's family hope.
"I had not expected to get an answer and was overwhelmed," he told Bunte.
