David Schumacher – Ralf Schumacher’s Son Comes Out To Clear The Air About Parents’ Split 

David has taken to his Instagram account to defend his father against his mother’s threat after their divorce.  Ex wife Cora and Ralf Schumacher have gone their separate ways and had several public war of words after Ralf had publicly announced that he was gay and in love with his french business manager  Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne in July this year. This bold announcement has since then caused a lot of word-fare between the ex couple which Cora termed ‘wasting the best years of her life.’ on him.

In a now deleted post on Instagram, David wrote: “normally I wouldn’t want to talk about family matters in public because these topics have no business being talked about online. Unfortunately my mother seems to be looking at this differently. It is now time to put an end to it: I just want to live my life in peace, and reach my goals without being asked about all the things my mother accuses me and my dad of.”

As if that wasn’t enough from his mother’s accusations, he mentioned his childhood memories saying his mother suffered from mental illness. “When my parents divorced in 2015, my mother threatened me that if I didn’t live with her, she would destroy my life’s dream, meaning my dream of being a racing driver would be destroyed because, due to the custody of both parents, she would no longer sign the necessary documents.”

“Since she was not in the right frame of mind to care for me and I didn’t want to grow up in an environment where the only thing that mattered all day was what a bad person my father was, I simply didn’t want to be around her anymore.”.

 He continued: “This is the first and last time I will be speaking publicly on this private issue”
