Michael Schumacher ‘still fighting’ as emotional tributes paid on Hall of Fame induction

"A fight is going on. Michael is someone very special, someone special for motorsport. He's special to me, he's a friend."

Michael Schumacher "would feel honoured" by his induction into the FIA Hall of Fame last night, writes Stephen Barry.

The Formula 1 governing body inaugurated its Hall of Fame by inducting all 33 of its world champions in a Paris ceremony. Nine were in attendance, although the absence of one champion in particular hung over proceedings.
