"The best forever": With these words, Gina Schumacher posted a family photo on January 3rd. It's immediately clear who she meant: her father, Michael. The motorsport legend celebrated his 57th birthday two days ago and was honored by his daughter Gina with a touching photo. "Happy birthday, Dad," the 28-year-old wrote.

Gina chose a special photo for her congratulations. It's a picture taken many years ago. Gina and her younger brother Mick (26) are still very young and beaming in the snapshot. Just like their mother Corinna and father Michael. It's a beautiful, emotional family moment that Gina has now shared with the internet – and it has garnered many loving comments. Among others, former soccer star Lukas Podolski left a heart emoji.

Michael Schumacher is a legend of motorsport; the German was a seven-time Formula One World Champion. However, at the end of December 2013, his world was turned upside down when "Schumi" suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in France. Since then, he has been undergoing medical rehabilitation, initially in a hospital, and since 2014 at home. Nothing is known about Schumacher's current state of health.

Incidentally, her daughter Gina has also had a career, namely as a Western rider. Today she is a European and World Champion and, since March 2025, also a proud mother of a little girl.
