Unseen footage of Michael Schumacher aired in new documentary

A new documentary is reportedly set to feature previously-unseen footage of stricken Formula One legend Michael Schumacher.

Schumacher suffered devastating head injuries during a skiing accident in the French Alps in 2013.

Updates on his condition have been few and far between ever since, with mystery still surrounding the F1 icon's current state.

However a new documentary is set to feature rare footage of the seven-time world champion, as well as sit-down interviews with wife Corinna, son Mick, daughter Gina-Marie and father Rolf.

On Thursday it was announced that the documentary is ready, however the release date has been pushed back.

Originally slated for release in December 2019, 'Schumacher' has once again been delayed after initially being postponed until late 2020.

"The film is finished," director and producer Vanessa Nocker said.

"Corona has made the situation very difficult. In this respect, we cannot give a precise time at the moment and ask for a little patience."

Fellow producer Benjamin Seikel said: "We are thrilled to have had the trusting co-operation of Michael Schumacher's family and management.

"Without their support, this film would not have been possible."

Sabine Kehm, the Schumacher family spokesperson, said: "The film portrays Michael's impressive career, but also many of the facets of the complex man.

"The merciless and daring Formula 1 driver, the ambitious athlete, the accomplished mechanic with a unique technical flair, the reliable team player and loving family man."

In supporting for the project in 2019, Kehm said: "Michael's outstanding career deserves to be celebrated 25 years after he achieved his first out of seven World Championship titles.

"We are happy this film will be in the hands of such ambitious and sensitive professionals."
