Former racing driver Joey Mawson has broken his silence after a court cleared him of raping Michael Schumacher's nurse at the F1 star's home.

Joey Mawson, 30, was accused of raping the nurse twice on November 23, 2019, while he was staying at a mansion owned by 57-year-old Schumacher in Gland, near Geneva.

The Australian vehemently denied the allegations and previously stated that the sex was consensual.

In a judgement on Friday, the court ruled there was 'insufficient evidence' to convict Mawson, and he was allowed to leave a free man with 'no stain on his character', the judge said.

Now, Mawson has spoken out for the first time since being cleared and has announced his return to the racetrack.
