THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Germany's Michael Schumacher is one of the best race drivers the world has ever seen. In 1996, Schumacher teamed up with Ferrari to become Formula One champion seven times. Schumacher has won the F1 Championship a total of seven times, but no one would believe the fact that he had started training in racing at the age of four.

But that is the truth. Schumacher's father, who ran a local karting circuit in Germany had a small motor car built for his son, Michael Schumacher and brother Ralph Schumacher started their early training in this car. Baby Michael not only started training at the age of four, but also won a local racing championship at the age of six with his small car.

Schumacher had a knack for bringing out the full potential of his car at the Formula One Championships. Schumacher was the prince of fast laps. It is said that the full capabilities of an driver come out on wet track. Michael excelled on such tracks. All of these abilities helped Michael greatly in gaining his place in the Formula One world. Schumacher once said that he acquired most of these skills through the training he received from his father during his youth.

Let's come to Kerala now. If Schumacher won the racing title at the age of six, the Kerala Police has registered a case against the father who coached his son at the age of six.

A case has been registered against the father of a six-year-old boy for participating in mud racing training with adults. Palakkad Town South police has registered a case against Shanavas Abdullah, a native of Kattoor, Thrissur. Scenes of a six-year-old boy dangerously jumping on his baby bike along with adults went viral on social media.

The father and relatives said the boy was training on a toy bike. However, the police said that the case was registered for training the child in a dangerous manner while the adults were training on the high speed bikes.
