A Spanish biker has filed a formal complaint over a traffic accident involving Michael Schumacher weeks before the F1 star’s horror ski crash.

Schumacher is accused of knocking the motorcyclist off his bike after failing to give way at a roundabout in Bormujos near Seville.

The unnamed Spaniard is claiming compensation for the broken wrist he suffered and damage to a watch, his clothes and his motorbike in the accident on November 17 last year.

A trial will only take place if insurers contest the claim and the 45-year-old German would not be obliged to attend.

Police have said in their accident report the seven-time F1 champion, who was on a private visit to Spain, failed to respect his alleged victim’s right of way.

Schumacher’s manager Sabine Kehm has said Michael is making progress.
