Brazil football legend Pele (right) marked Schumacher's impending retirement by honouring the seven-times world champion ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Pele presented Schumacher with a silver trophy 15 minutes before the race, where the 37-year-old German was starting from 10th on the grid in the final race of his 16-season career.
The brilliant Brazilian spoke warmly of Schumacher's achievements before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
