A German magazine caused a scandal by publishing a made-up interview with the champion. The family of the seven-time world champion attacked the magazine.
The management of the Funke press group, to which he belongs, apologized to the Schumacher family. Two years ago, a colleague counted 400 front pages of magazines devoted to Michael Schumachers. The magazine was warming up fake photos of the pope and Donald Trump on the next page, made with the same technological tool as the one used to make the interview.
