Ralf Schumacher, the younger brother of the renowned Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher, suffered an injury while participating in a jet ski event ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. The former racing driver's shoulder was dislocated when he attempted to turn the jet ski around swiftly. Schumacher recounted the incident to RTL+ as the following: "Pulling it out of the water, turning the jet ski around and dislocating your shoulder in the process – you've got to manage that first."
He added that he hopes nothing is broken and thanked his medical team for their quick response following the accident. Schumacher, who was competing in a celebrity jet ski championship hosted by TV personality Stefan Raab, finished second in the competition, ultimately losing to Rene Casselly, a circus performer and Ninja Warrior athlete.
Despite the setback, Schumacher remains optimistic about his recovery and is set to cover the upcoming Italian Grand Prix in Monza. He mentioned that the operation will be brief and that he should be back in Monza for the race.
