Michael Schumacher’s health remains a mystery after friend debunks recent rumors (Instagram @michaelschumacher)
The health status of Michael Schumacher, the Formula 1 legend, remains a closely guarded secret by his family since his severe ski accident in 2013.
After hitting his head on a rock in the French Alps, Schumacher suffered a catastrophic brain injury, underwent emergency surgeries, and remained in a medically induced coma for several months. Since then, he has been cared for at home, with constant medical assistance and limited visits from a select group of people. Despite recent rumors suggesting that he attended his daughter Gina-Maria’s wedding in Mallorca, Spain, close friends and specialists have denied these claims, emphasizing the severity of his condition and the difficulty he has in moving.
Johnny Herbert, a former driver and friend of Schumacher, called these rumors “fake news.” Additionally, neurosurgeon Jussi Posti reinforced that Schumacher’s alleged presence at the event was unlikely, considering he would mostly be bedridden with severely limited mobility.
While the family has kept details of his health private, rare statements have revealed that he cannot speak, is paralyzed, and relies on intensive care. His wife Corinna has committed to preserving his privacy and dignity while managing family life with resilience.
In recent years, reports have surfaced about the challenges the family faces, including blackmail attempts involving sensitive photos of Schumacher. Still, his children Mick and Gina have shared heartfelt tributes, such as social media posts celebrating their father’s birthday and recalling happy moments. Corinna highlighted in a documentary that the family strives to live as Michael would have wanted, protecting his privacy and remembering the values he cherished.
Despite the adversity, Schumacher’s impact on his family and on motorsport remains alive. However, the distancing of some family members, such as his brother Ralf, reflects the changes imposed by the circumstances. Nevertheless, moments like Gina’s wedding show that the family remains united in the face of challenges, always honoring the legacy of the seven-time world champion.
