 Michael Schumacher is GQ magazine's sporting man of the year |
Despite his seemingly disappointing return to Formula One in 2010, Michael Schumacher is still the best athlete of the year in Germany.
That is the view of GQ magazine, who awarded the seven-time world champion the title of 'Manner des Jahres' [Man of the Year] in the sporting category at an awards ceremony in Berlin.
The award may have come as something of a shock to Nico Rosberg, who has comprehensively out-qualified and out-raced his compatriot at Mercedes as well as golf’s USPGA champion and world number three Martin Kaymer and members of the German football team who reached the semi finals of the World Cup.
Schumacher, who returned to F1 this year after a three-year absence, accepted the trophy from his former Ferrari boss and current FIA President Jean Todt.
