The legendary driver Michael Schumacher, 51, is confined to barracks as he wages a glacial recovery following the horrific skiing accident that robbed him of his vitality nearly seven years ago.

It was left to Michael’s 21-year-old son Mick, an aspiring Formula One driver and leader of the F2 standings, to perform the rituals on behalf of a private, tight family, to hand one of his father’s old helmets to Lewis like a baton.

‘Getting to Formula One was the first step of the dream, and then it was emulating Ayrton (Senna),’ said Lewis.

‘But Michael was just so far ahead, it was beyond my wildest dreams that I could be here today having equalled this record.’
