Michael Schumacher was flown back to his family home in Switzerland for the birth of his first grandchild, according to reports.
The F1 legend, who suffered life-changing injuries in a skiing accident in 2013, became a grandfather last month when his daughter, Gina, and her husband, Iain Bethke, welcomed a new addition to the family.
According to Bild, Schumacher made the trip from his villa in Majorca back to the family’s Swiss mansion via helicopter to be present in the days leading up to the birth.
The report adds that Schumacher’s family have faith that the new addition will give him hope as he continues to battle with the after-effects of his accident, which happened on a skiing holiday more than 11 years ago.
