We have known so called Sports 'Stars' in our times. We have treated them with respect when they have won and booed them when they have lost. But rarely have we come across true Super Heroes, Sportsmen who win despite all odds. Michael Schumacher stands tall among truly great sportsmen of all time.
On 20th April Schumacher drove to perfection and won the race, hours after his mothers death. He and his brother Ralf who finished fourth, raced in honour of their mother. In Michael's own words after the race - ''My mother loved to be at the track, She loved it when we drove go-carts on the old track at home. She would have wanted to see us race today.''
To be a hero to your followers, to inspire millions by your actions, to honour your near and dear ones with your achievements, it takes rare spirit, character and courage.
Michael Schumacher may already have scaled great heights in his sport, but he continues to conquer the hearts of fans around the world.
