Schumacher daughter's Gina waxing strong






Hope indeed is not lost for formular one great Michael Schumacher, as daughter Gina Maria Schumacher continues to take the family name to greater heights. 
Gina, 20, stunned the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Friday as she took part in its novice Cavalli a Roma event in Italy claiming the first position, though  she wasn't present at the prize-giving ceremony. 
Known for her impressive horse-handling skills, Gina Maria Schumacher was seen taking the reins once more as her Formula One legend father remains unable to speak or walk.
Just four months ago she showcased her riding skills at the NRHA European Derby in Lyon, France, where she was watched by her boyfriend Iain Bethke and mother Corinna Schumacher. 
It was the same month she issued a heart-wrenching appeal to reignite hope for Michael's recovery.
The seven-time world champion, 49, has been unable to walk or speak since suffering a head injury during a life-threatening skiing accident in the Alps in December 2013.
Gina reignited hope for her father to return to health as she urged the sportsman to 'keep fighting', in an inspirational Instagram message.
The record-breaking driver was put into a medically induced coma and underwent two life-saving operations at Grenoble Hospital.
In April 2014 he was withdrawn from the coma and moved to a hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, before being brought home in September 2014.
His former boss, Luca di Montezemolo, has said she draws hope from the driver's resilience, telling Courier Dello Sport: 'As I know his strength, I dream that he will soon be among us again.'
Schumacher's record-breaking career spanned 22 years. From 1991 to 2012 he claimed seven World Championships.
The driver won 91 races and earned 151 podium finishes, bringing his career points to 1,566.
The German's first win was at the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix, with his first Championship victory coming in 1994, when he scraped first place by just one point. The Brazilian Grand Prix in 2012 was Schumacher's final race.
