Cora Schumacher delivered a sly dig at her ex-husband, Ralf Schumacher, after the racer married Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne.
She offered what appeared to be a congratulations message with subtle undertones.
She told BILD: "They always say: True love finds a way... In some cases, it just takes a little longer until everyone at the racetrack really knows which way the race is headed. Nevertheless, all the best for your wedding."
The motorsport-themed comment about knowing "which way the race is headed" seemed to reference the driver's sexuality, given their 14-year marriage and their shared son, David.
The former Formula One driver 50, recently wed Frenchman Bousquet-Cassagne in Saint-Tropez, just 19 months after publicly revealing he was gay.
The couple arrived at the town hall at 5:18pm local time, dressed identically in dark blue suits paired with white shirts and pale blue ties.
Schumacher, who won six Grand Prix races during his career with Williams and Jordan, married the French businessman in what marked the start of a three-day celebration.
The couple own a property near the picturesque coastal location, which once served as Schumacher's holiday home with his former wife.

The pair first crossed paths in Monaco, where they exchanged phone numbers before beginning their relationship in 2022.
Bousquet-Cassagne recalled in the documentary he was immediately smitten, saying: "I was in love at first sight."
His husband took rather longer to come around, with Bousquet-Cassagne revealing he sent multiple messages without receiving any reply before Schumacher eventually responded months later.
Schumacher publicly announced both his relationship and his sexuality in July 2024.

The revelation of Schumacher's same-sex relationship initially sparked a bitter dispute with his ex-wife, who burned her wedding dress and publicly asked him to allow her to "heal in peace", claiming she had "wasted her best years" on him.
However, when news of the engagement emerged in February, Cora previously extended an olive branch alongside her new partner, Steven Bo Bekendam.
"Steven and I wish Ralf and Étienne all the best and much happiness," she said.
