Formula one drivers have paid tribute to their stricken former rival Michael Schumacher.<\/p>\n
For years ahead of the Monaco grand prix, seven time world champion Schumacher captained the F1 drivers’ football team as they annually took on Prince Albert’s all-stars at the Stade Louis.<\/p>\n
But in 2014, the F1 legend was missing on Tuesday, as he continues to fight in France amid a long coma in the wake of his late December skiing fall.<\/p>\n
According to the major German daily Bild, the F1 drivers’ team – now captained by Fernando Alonso – made clear they missed Schumacher as they went against all-stars like top tennis player Novak Djokovic on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
On the electronic advertising hoardings circling the ground, a message repeatedly read: “Michael, we miss you!<\/p>\n
“We can’t wait to see you back on this grass next year.”<\/p>\n
Among those on the grass on Tuesday was Schumacher’s former teammate Felipe Massa, Sergio Perez and impressive Russian teen rookie Daniil Kvyat, who scored a goal.<\/p>\n
