A scandal has erupted in the Schumacher family after former F1 driver Ralf, brother of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, posted a GBP 4 million (roughly $5 million) property for sale, prompting a furious reaction from his ex-wife Cora. The couple split in 2015, and they have been mired in scandal when Ralf revealed that he is homosexual. Ralf, Cora, and their son David used to reside in a five-bedroom home in Hallwang, 10 miles north of Salzburg, Austria. The villa was previously listed but did not sell. Cora was upset when she saw the latest listing.

‘It’s a shame to try again, (and by that, I don’t mean the media) distorting the facts and negatively painting me. The images of the house circulated on real estate websites roughly 10 years ago, when Ralf Schumacher attempted to sell it – without resorting to stealth marketing! If this had happened, these photos would not be on the internet today! So anyone seeking for who is accountable should contact my ex-husband sooner,” she remarked on her Instagram story.

Earlier in November 2023, Ralf stated that Schumacher may never fully recover from the catastrophic 2013 collision. 

Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son Mick in the French Alps in December 2013 when he slipped and collided with a rock, incurring a serious head injury despite wearing a helmet. The racing star hasn’t been seen in public since the accident, and nothing is known about his condition. Ralf Schumacher stated that “nothing is like it used to be” following the driving legend’s crash.

“I can state that his accident was a really unpleasant and extreme experience not only for myself, but also for his children. Mick, as we all know, was a mere adolescent at the time.  

Unfortunately, life isn’t always fair, and there was a lot of terrible luck here as well,” he explained at the time.

 He taught me everything about karting. Despite our seven-year age difference, he was constantly at my side. We raced together, practiced overtaking maneuvers, and everything else involved in motorsports. He imparted what he had learnt in seven years. I was honored to learn from the greatest.”
