Block lost his life on Monday in a snowmobile accident. What was ironic was that it was on the same day as Schumacher’s birthday. Almost nine years ago, Schumacher was also involved in an accident while skiing in the snow.
The German hit his head on a rock and suffered severe injuries. Almost a decade later, there’s still no clarity on the medical condition of the German legend, as the family has decided to keep that private.
Meanwhile, the loss of a motorsport legend in Ken Block drew inevitable comparisons with Schumacher from fans. Here are some reactions on social media:
Michael Schumacher’s F1 successor left devastated by Ken Block’s death
Lewis Hamilton, who has collaborated with Block in the past, was left devastated by Block’s death. On a social media post, the Mercedes driver posted:
It’s safe to say that Block’s earlier demise gives a lesson that one should value each and every moment that they have, as the future is not guaranteed.
