Through it all though Corinna, wife of Michael and mum of Mick, has been the rock on which the family has continued to be a beacon of light for motorsport fans around the world.

While #KeepFightingMichael has been a rallying cry for a decade, Corinna's strength and love have also been a incredible force for good.

And on Wednesday, on International Women's Day 2023, Mick paid a touching and emotional tribute to his amazing mum.

He told internet portal Watson: “Equal rights for women are a matter of course for me, and I know many women from whom I can learn and who inspire me.

“My mother, for example, is one of the strongest women I know. She is funny, motivating, always smiling and is a real role model for me.”

Corinna has fought hard to protect Michael's privacy since that horrific accident, and she has also been a steadfast supporter of Mick's budding F1 career.

She was often on circuit in 2022 when he raced for Haas, before he left the team and became a Mercedes reserve driver for 2023.
