Michael Schumacher has made a rare and moving gesture as he signed a crash helmet with the help of his wife Corinna.

It marks one of the stricken F1 legend's only public acts since his devastating ski accident in the French Alps 12 years ago.

The seven-time world champion, who has not been seen in public since, added his initials "M.S" to a helmet belonging to fellow F1 icon Sir Jackie Stewart.

The helmet will be auctioned to raise money for Stewart's charity Race Against Dementia.

“It is wonderful that Michael could sign the helmet in this worthy cause – a disease for which there is no cure,” Stewart told The Daily Mail.

“His wife helped him, and it completed the set of every single champion still with us.”
