Michael Schumacher's signature on helmet worn by F1 champ Jackie Stewart at charity drive in Bahrain

SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) — Formula 1 champion Jackie Stewart wore a helmet bearing the signature of all living Formula 1 champions, including Michael Schumacher, as he drove one of his title-winning cars for charity ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.

Seven-time champion Schumacher has not appeared in public since he sustained severe head injuries in a 2013 skiing accident. Few details of his condition have been made public.

Stewart earlier told the Daily Mail newspaper that Schumacher had signed the helmet with help from his wife Corinna.

“It is wonderful that Michael could sign the helmet in this worthy cause — a disease for which there is no cure,” Stewart was quoted as saying Saturday.
