David Schumacher, the 22-year-old German racing driver and son of former Formula 1 star Ralf Schumacher, issued an emotional public statement via his Instagram story, addressing the ongoing feud between his parents. The statement has since been deleted but garnered significant attention due to the deeply personal nature of the message, in which David expressed his distress over the public accusations his mother, Cora Schumacher, has made against him and his father.

The public discord between David’s parents began in July, when Ralf Schumacher revealed that he was in a same-sex partnership. While Ralf received overwhelming support from the Formula 1 community, his ex-wife Cora reacted negatively, claiming in an explosive interview that she had been blindsided by the revelation. She accused Ralf of using her and robbing her of her best years. Ralf publicly refuted her claims, calling her statements lies, but the situation has escalated in the months following the interview.

Cora continued to criticize Ralf publicly, most recently accusing him of selling their shared family home in Germany, worth €4,850,000, without informing her, and leaving her unaware of their son David’s whereabouts. She claimed that David was living in the house, an allegation that Ralf had to deny once again in the media.

Faced with these mounting accusations, David chose to speak out in defense of both himself and his father. In a heartfelt and candid statement, he revealed that he was tired of the constant public scrutiny and attacks from his mother. “Normally I wouldn’t want to talk about family matters in public because these topics have no business being talked about online,” David wrote, adding that his mother seemed to feel differently. He pleaded with her to stop making accusations and allow him and his father to live their lives in peace.

David further elaborated on the troubled history between him and his mother, disclosing that she had suffered from mental health issues for as long as he could remember. He recalled a particularly difficult moment after his parents’ divorce in 2015, when his mother threatened to destroy his dream of becoming a racing driver if he didn’t choose to live with her. Due to her mental state and the constant negativity toward his father, David explained that he no longer wanted to be around her. He recounted a harrowing incident where his mother attempted to take him away from his father, leading to a violent altercation in which the police had to intervene.

David refuted the notion that his father had influenced his views on his mother, stating that Ralf had always encouraged him to maintain a good relationship with her. However, David emphasized that he had no desire to reopen old wounds and relive painful memories. He expressed his disappointment in his mother’s current behavior, calling it a disgrace.

In closing, David made it clear that this would be the only time he would speak publicly on the matter. He asked for privacy and peace, urging his mother to stop the public accusations so that he and his father could move forward with their lives.
