Schumacher accepts ’Man of the Year’ award in Berlin

Michael Schumacher has accepted a German ’Man of the Year’ award in Berlin.

Organised by GQ magazine, the seven time world champion won the ’Manner des Jahres’ plaudit in the sporting category, according to German media reports.

Photographs show the 41-year-old attending the black-tie event with his wife Corinna.

Schumacher, who returned to formula one this year after a three-year retirement, accepted the trophy from his former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, who is now the president of the sport’s governing FIA.
