MICHAEL Schumacher’s family will auction off the German F1 great’s personal luxury watch collection in a matter of weeks.
The condition of the former racing driver remains a mystery to the public after he suffered a serious brain injury while skiing in 2013.

Schumacher’s wife Corinna, 55, is said to be the driving force behind the decision to auction off her husband’s watches.
She has previously sold other family assets including Schumacher’s private jet and his house in Norway.
The sale is expected to earn her family some $6million (£4.8million), which could be used to help care for the stricken Schumacher, 55.
Eight watches will go up for sale on May 13 in Geneva, Switzerland, according to British auction house Christie’s.
