As Michael Schumacher joined the list of F1 World Champions signing the helmet Jackie Stewart wore in Bahrain last month, Johnny Herbert called it “something emotional” and hopefully a sign that Schumacher is on “the mend”.
Last month, Stewart drove his title-winning 1973 Tyrrell 006 F1 car in a demo run at the Bahrain circuit with the triple F1 World Champion wearing a special helmet that would be auctioned to raise money for his ‘Race Against Dementia’ charity.
Maybe we’ll hopefully see him in the F1 paddock soon’
Stewart set up ‘Race Against Dementia’ when his wife Helen was diagnosed with dementia, the programming funding and sporting scientific talent by backing promising research projects to accelerate progress towards a cure and treatment.
One signature on that helmet was more poignant than the others.
12 years on from his horrific skiing accident that left him with a severe brain injury, Schumacher – with the help of his wife Corinna – signed the iconic helmet that Stewart wore when he drove the 1973 Tyrrell 006 F1 car during a demo run at the Bahrain International Circuit ahead of the 2025 Grand Prix.
Adding to the moment, the demo run was widely tipped to be the 85-year-old Stewart’s final run in a Formula 1 car.
was a wonderful moment,” Schumacher’s former team-mate told FastSlots. “We haven’t seen something emotional like this in years, and hopefully, it’s a sign.
“Hopefully, Michael is on the mend. It’s been a long, horrible journey for the family, and maybe we’ll hopefully see him in the F1 paddock soon.
“Michael Schumacher making an appearance at an F1 race weekend would be one of those special moments from one of the greatest drivers we have ever seen.
“It would be so welcomed, not just from everyone in the paddock, but everyone around the world. Considering the awful situation he found himself in, and to battle back against it, it would be amazing. I hope we continue to hear this positive news more often.”
