Michael Schumacher: New Facebook page as a contact point for fans
Meanwhile, there is a new point of contact for fans of Michael Schumacher on the Internet, who are eagerly waiting for positive news about the health of the (almost) 51-year-old, who is celebrating his birthday on January 3, 2020 : The Kerpener has a quasi Christmas and birthday present Fan club of the cult racer on Facebook launched a new group called " KeepFightingMichael ".
The chairman Reiner Ferling says about the virtual monument: "Unfortunately, it is time again, Michael’s accident day is six years old. Six years full of hope that Michael will one day go public again. This page is a gift for Michael (...). It is open to all fans and serves to put his compassion into words and to let his emotions run wild, ”said the 67-year-old, according to Hamburger Morgenpost .

At the end of 2018, we reported on the interview with a media expert who commented on the use of social networks such as Facebook in relation to Michael Schumacher . “Such expressions of compassion enable a kind of sympathy or an expression of grief and pity for the victim. That is not a bad thing at first, although it is relatively superficial, ”Stephan Weichert of Hamburg Media School told dpa .
Michael Schumacher: message from keepfighting.ms is minted on him
On the keepfighting.ms homepage you can read the following: “Big things start with small steps. Little things are important. Many small particles can form a huge mosaic. Together you are stronger, and that is exactly how combined forces of the keep-fighting movement make it easier to encourage others. ”
Various media interpret this as a spectacular statement by his wife Corinna Schumacher, especially in France. Corinna Schumacher speaks of an "enigmatic message" both at the serious L'Équipe and at GQ . F1andcoffee.com even reads a reference to “Her husband's progress in a message of hope” in the headline. "His Corinna gives great hope with this statement" also writes a German celebrity portal.
But Corinna Schumacher's alleged statement, which now goes around the world, did not exist. The words "Big things begin with small steps" come straight from the keepfighting.ms homepage and are coined on the "Keep Fighting" initiative. According to information from the Ippen-Digital central editorial office, these are NOT from Corinna Schumacher. Obviously, a quote from the "Keep Fighting" homepage has become independent and is incorrectly attributed to Michael Schumacher's wife.
For quite some time, news and statements have been published on the Internet in connection with the hashtags #KeepFighting and #TeamMichael by fans from all over the world.
Almost longingly, fans of the Formula 1 legend are waiting for the planned Michael Schumacher documentary. However, there has been some bad news recently. There is better news about the once planned demolition of the legendary Michael Schumacher kart track in Kerpen. The China race will be canceled in April 2020 due to the corona virus *.
