Legion of Honor for Schumi

Michael Schumacher received, this Thursday in Paris, the insignia of Knight of the Legion of Honor. It was Prime Minister François Fillon, a motorsport enthusiast, who presented this distinction to the seven-time World Champion of Formula 1. " It is a truly special moment and a huge honor to be honored here with this exceptional badge., said Michael Schumacher. It is a very special moment for me because I often found myself on the other side of the ceremony, as a spectator, because my friend Jean Todt had the honor of receiving decorations. It is an honor to be decorated in this way by a Prime Minister who knows motorsport so well. Today, I am looking to the future and, now that the second chapter of my career is opening, I hope to be able to experience moments already encountered in the past. »
