GQ awards Man of Year title to Schumacher

Michael Schumacher has accepted a German 'Man of the Year' award in Berlin, according to Worldcarfans.com website.

Organised by GQ magazine, the seven time world champion won the 'Manner des Jahres' plaudit in the sporting category.

Photographs show the 41-year-old attending the black-tie event with his wife Corinna.

Schumacher, who returned to formula one this year after a three-year retirement, accepted the trophy from his former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, who is now the president of the sport's governing FIA.
