The F1 community long awaited on positive updates about Michael Schumacher following his skiing accident more than a decade ago. Schumacher was bed-ridden following his accident and was suffering from Locked-in Syndrome. Thankfully, the F1 legend’s health continued to improve, with recent reports claiming that he is no longer bedridden and in a much better state than before.
Michael Schumacher‘s family kept the matter private, and the entire community honored their decisions. No false rumors came up regarding Schumacher’s health, and people close to him continued to provide positive updates on the matter. Now, the German is able to sit upright and be wheeled around by nurses, and has better senses, as he was even reported to be able to watch F1 races.
A family member close to Michael Schumacher claimed that they weren’t sure if the latter was understanding everything going on in his surrounding. Though Schumacher was certainly understanding many things, he couldn’t speak out his mind and explain what was going on.
The member still guessed that Michael Schumacher was understanding enough things to have an idea of his surroundings. For now, everyone in the community is awating for further updates, and potentially even a public appearence from the joint most successful driver in Formula 1 alongside Lewis Hamilton. The family continues to live in their residence in Gland, Switzerland, and only a select group of family, friends and staff are allowed to see Schumacher since his accident back in 2013.
You can’t be sure whether he understands everything because he cannot tell anyone, The feeling is that he understands some of the things going on around him, but probably not all of them.

Ex-Red Bull engineer claims people will ‘never see Michael Schumacher’ ever again
Former Red Bull head of operations, Richard Hopkins had some shocking things to say about Michael Schumacher and his condition. Though he accepted that he was no Jean Todt or Ross Brawn who personally visited the seven-time champion and witnessed his condition first hand. Still, Hopkins reckoned that the family deserved utter privacy during such a difficult moment.
Richard Hopkins asserted that he did not have any recent updates on the matter, all he knew was that Michael Schumacher had a personal Finnish doctor. Further, Hopkins guessed that the people might not see Schumacher out in public ever again. The former Red Bull highlighted that he was uncomfortable talking on the matter, as he wasn’t very updated on the recent happenings.
I’m not Jean Todt, I’m not Ross Brawn, I’m not Gerhard Berger, who visit Michael. I’m a long way from that.I haven’t heard anything recently. I understand he has a Finnish doctor, a personal doctor, I don’t think we’ll see Michael again. I’m slightly uncomfortable talking about his condition because of how secretive, for the right reasons, the family wants to keep it. So I can make a remark, have an opinion, but I’m not in that inner circle.
Richard Hopkins told SPORTbible.
Despite the secrecy maintained by Michael Schumacher’s family, three people, out of which one was a security guard at their residence tried to backmail the family into paying them a couple of million dollars. The criminals threatened to release over 900 images of Schumacher’s condition and medical bills if they family did not give into their demands. However, legal support helped the family come out of the trouble without risking their privacy.
