Ralf Schumacher calls his ex-wife a LIAR and leaks her WhatsApp chats cheating with Michael

Ralf Schumacher has inflamed the row between himself and his ex-wife by branding her a ‘liar’ and leaking WhatsApp messages she sent congratulating his new partner.

Cora Schumacher dropped jaws at the weekend when she claimed she had ‘wasted’ 14 years married to a man who in July came out as gay.

Former F1 driver Ralf revealed last month that he is in a relationship with his French business manager Etienne, with Cora telling Der Spiegel she had been unaware and felt ‘stabbed in the heart’.

Now Ralf has published screenshots of an alleged exchange from last year in which Cora congratulates Etienne on their union, indicating that Cora knew all along – a move she has decried as ‘pathetic’ and ‘illegal’.

In the messages, Cora appears to say ‘congrats’ and ‘so happy for you both’ as she tells Etienne that she was told he had got married to Ralf due to them wearing rings on their right hands

Dredging up old WhatsApp messages has left Cora fuming; she has hit back vilifying the move as ‘pathetic’ and ‘illegal’.

Cora, 47, a former model and racing driver herself, was married to Ralf between 2001 and 2015 and together they have a son, David, 22, who is also a motorsport racer.

Ralf 49, has been with Etienne for two years having met in Monaco, according to Carmen Geiss, an actress and close friend of the couple. He is the brother of F1 legend Michael Schumacher and his son David has previously shared his support for the relationship.
