Emotional weekend for Schumacher

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER concedes he faces “an emotional weekend” as the San Marino Grand Prix holds significantly poignant memories for the six-times Formula One world champion.

The motor-racing world is preparing to pay its respects to a legend this weekend for it is 10 years since Ayrton Senna was killed at Imola after ploughing into a concrete wall at 137mph at the Tamburello curve.

The Brazilian's death at the age of 34, caused by a front-suspension strut breaking and piercing his helmet, sent shockwaves throughout the sport which will again be felt during the next few days.
