Michael Schumacher gets award for 'life's work'

Michael Schumacher will reportedly be honoured at an award ceremony this week.

Michael Schumacher will reportedly be honoured at an award ceremony this week.

The inaugural 'Nurburgring Award' trophy will go to the German on Friday after he won at the fabled circuit a record five times, according to Bild.

As he is still recovering from his 2013 skiing fall, the award will be collected by the 48-year-old former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's manager, Sabine Kehm.

"Nobody deserves this award more than Michael," former Mercedes motor sport director Norbert Haug said.

"This award for his life's work will give him a lot of strength on his road to recovery."

Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel will star in a celebrity football game in Schumacher's honour in the days before the German Grand Prix in Hockenheim in July.
