Michael Schumacher's Health Update by Felix Gorner
Felix Gorner's update highlights the severity of Schumacher's condition, with the F1 icon requiring constant care and unable to express himself verbally, a stark contrast to his former life as a dominant force in Formula One, leaving his family and fans to cherish memories of his time on the track.
Renowned Formula One journalist Felix Gorner has provided a heartbreaking update on Michael Schumacher's health, 11 years after his skiing accident in France, revealing that the seven-time world champion requires constant care and is dependent on his caregivers.
Schumacher, 56, was severely injured in the 2013 incident and has been unable to verbally express himself since then. His family has kept his health status private, allowing only a restricted group of individuals, including former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, to see him. Gorner stated that Schumacher needs constant care and is dependent on his caregivers, with only 20 people allowed to approach him.
Despite his family's efforts to keep his condition private, there have been numerous updates on his health over the years. In 2023, a close friend described him as a "case without hope," and former Ferrari boss Jean Todt said he is no longer the same person. Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has also spoken about his condition, saying he is "different" but still shows her strength every day.
Former F1 driver Christian Danner, a friend of the Schumacher family, revealed that Michael's accident is never brought up in conversations with Corinna and Mick. Danner has known Corinna since she was Heinz-Harald Frentzen's girlfriend and has remained friends with the family over the years. Danner recalls Michael as a skilled but occasionally "nasty" driver who was not well-liked by his peers due to his aggressive driving style.
The updates on Michael Schumacher's health serve as a reminder of the tragic accident that changed his life and the lives of those around him. As the F1 community and fans continue to support the Schumacher family, they remain hopeful for any improvement in his condition, even as the years go by.
