Michael Schumacher was the most searched-for sportsman in 2014, the internet giant Google has announced.
An analysis of the more than two trillion searches on the world’s most popular search engine this year also showed that Schumacher’s skiing crash and recuperation was the ninth most popular internet news story overall.
Despite the high interest in Schumacher’s recovery, however, the Swiss news website Bluewin reports that his personal fashion sponsors Navyboot and Jet Set have terminated their deals with the 45-year-old German.
A spokesperson for the Gaydoul group, owner of the Navyboot and Jet Set brands, confirmed that its sponsorship deals with Schumacher, which were estimated at $5 million per year, have ended.
