Close friend calls for Michael Schumacher to be stripped of F1 title and downgraded to six-time world champion

Roger Benoit, a long-serving and respected F1 reporter, believes Schumacher should lose his 1994 world 🐼title and be downgraded to a six-time ℱworld champion.
An infamous crash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Damon Hill at that year’s s✅eason finale saw Schumacher controversially crowned world champion.
The German appeared to veer into Hil🌠l, causing damage that forced both drivers out of the race🧔 - leading to Schumacher claiming the crown.
But Benoit reckons Schumacher should lose what he feels is a tainted first w𒁏orld ti💞tle.
"Of 🅺course, I know that he was worl💫d champion seven times," he told German publication Bild.
"But the 1994꧅ title should actually be taken away from him because he only won it because of his foul on Damon Hill.”
Schumacher is currently tied with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton as the spor𒁃t’s only seven-time world champions and joint most successful drivers in the history of F1.
The 54-yea✱r-old has not been seen in public since suffering serious brain trauma in a skiing accident in December 2013.
Asked if he was able to provide an update about his close friend’s health, Benoit simply🎐 responded: “No.
"There is only one answer to this question♚ and that is what his son Mick gave in one of his rare interviewไs in 2022: ‘I would give anything to talk to dad’.
"This sentence says everything about how his father has been doing for over 3500ꦐ days. A case without hope.”
