F1 icon 'most likely' at daughter's wedding where guests were 'forced to hand over their phones'

Michael Schumacher was “very likely” to have been at his daughter’s wedding this weekend, which was shrouded in secrecy.

Gina, 27, married her partner Iain Bethke at the family villa in Majorca in a private ceremony on Saturday.

The couple met several years ago at an equestrian center in Germany and have lived on the Schumacher family estate in Texas for the past two years.

There was a pre-wedding party on Friday at Mhares Sea Club in Llucmajor before the couple tied the knot in front of friends and family the following day.

According to Bild, Schumacher’s family took preventive measures to prevent the ceremony from being leaked.

The German publication reported that guests were “forced to hand over their phones.”

It is also claimed it was “very likely” that Schumacher himself, who has not been seen in public since his near-fatal skiing accident 11 years ago, was present at the ceremony.

According to local reports, the brother of the seven-time world champion, Ralf, was present with his partner Etienne Bosque-Cassagne.

Ralf Schumacher recently came out as gay and was embroiled in a bitter public row with his ex-wife Cora.

But Schumacher’s former manager, Willi Weber, was not among the guests at this very close-knit ceremony.

The 82-year-old managed both Schumacher brothers during their F1 careers until 2012 and helped the older brother become one of the highest earners in the sport’s history.

He said: “I wasn’t invited, but I wouldn’t have attended the wedding even if I had been invited.

“My health is not good at the moment. I would not have wanted to fly to Mallorca.

“I wish her good luck. And I hope she found the right person, that’s always important.

“It’s a game after all. But I hope everything goes well and she’s happy.”

Weber also revealed that he felt unable to speak with the Schumacher family after the skiing accident in 2013.

“Michael was one of my best friends, more like a son I never had,” he added.

“No one knows exactly what’s happening to him today, so I don’t want to comment further.

“Since Michael’s accident, I didn’t want to (talk to Gina) either. I’ve suffered enough from the consequences of his accident. For three years. That’s enough.”
