       The doc has not yet been released, but her comments were reported by a Race Fans journalist who has seen a preview.

       Corinna, 52, says in the film: "I have never blamed God for what happened. It was just really bad luck - all the bad luck anyone can have in life.

       "It's always terrible when you say, 'Why is this happening to Michael or us?' But then why does it happen to other people?"

       Tearful Corinna continues: "Of course, I miss Michael every day. But it's not just me who misses him.

       "It's the children, the family, his father, everyone around him.

       "I mean, everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here. Different, but he's here and that gives us strength, I find."

       In another moving clip she says: "I think that he is simply very strong mentally. Extremely strong.

       "He still shows me how strong he is every day."

       "And no matter what, I will do everything I can. We all will."

       SON'S SADNESS

       Seven-times F1 champ Shuey suffered a near-fatal head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on December 29, 2013.

       Updates on his health have been rare in the years since, but the family has reportedly spent ￡20million on round-the-clock care at their homes in Switzerland and Majorca.

       Jean Todt, a close pal and his former boss at Ferrari, said this week he will "slowly and surely improve" offering hope for his millions of fans.

       In a 2019 update, Schumacher was reported to be making "good progress" but also "struggling to communicate".

       The Netflix documentary about the life and career of the motorsports icon is set to be released on September 15.

       It features family home video and interviews with Schuey's father and grown-up kids Gina-Maria and Mick.

       Racing driver Mick, now in his debut season in F1, tells of his sadness at not being able talk about it with his dad in the preview seen by Race Fans.

       He says: “Since the accident these [family] experiences, these moments that I believe many people have with their parents are no longer present, or to a lesser extent, and in my view that is a little unfair.

       “I think dad and me, we would understand each other in a different way now simply because we speak a similar language, the language of motorsport, and that we would have much more to talk about.

       “And that’s where my head is most of the time, thinking that would be so cool. I would give up everything just for that.”

       In a trailer for the doc released last month, Schumacher himself says: "100 per cent perfection, I couldn't live with anything lower."

       In the same clip, Corinna describes her husband as "somebody special" as she talks movingly about their relationship.
