The German’s health status continues to remain confidential
Ten years after the skiing accident suffered by former German driver Michael Schumacher in Méribel, France, thousands of fans remain in the dark about the real health conditions of the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, who will turn 55 on the 3rd .
On that occasion Schumi suffered serious brain damage by violently hitting rocks hidden in the snow and, since then, he has been protected by a fortress of confidentiality. Very few people outside the family circle had the opportunity to see him at his residence in Gland, Switzerland.
German newspaper Bild says the former Ferrari driver continues to be monitored by dozens of medical assistants and is still undergoing various therapies.
Some of them, according to the newspaper, involve having Schumacher listen to the pit radio and driving a supercar to stimulate his brain with familiar sounds.
Very little information about German has leaked out. The former driver’s wife, Corinna Betsch, has never let anything slip, as has Schumi’s former head of the Ferrari team and close friend, Jean Todt, who often visits him.
“He’s always there, so I don’t miss him; his life is different and I’m privileged to be able to share some of those moments with him. But fate has caught up with him and he’s no longer the Michael we knew,” said the 77-year-old Frenchman. .
Ralf Schumacher, former F1 driver and brother of the seven-time champion, stressed that “nothing is the same as before”, but declared that all this is only possible “thanks to modern medical options”.
German Monsignor Georg Ganswein, former personal secretary of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, declared a few years ago that the former Ferrari driver is in a vegetative state and “only feels the people around him”. At the time the cleric even declared that the former pilot was “a little fuller”.
One of the greatest drivers of all time, Schumacher has never been seen in public since the accident and remains in his villa in Gland with his family, always under the supervision of his wife, who distills all the news about his health. .
