In December 2013, Schumacher suffered a horrific skiing accident in Switzerland that severely damaged his brain. He was medically placed in a coma and kept there until June of the next year.
He lost control and hit his head on a rock while skiing off-piste with his son, Mick. Despite wearing a helmet, Michael Schumacher suffered serious injuries.

Not much information has been released since Michael’s accident. His wife Corinna has selected a group of people who are permitted to see him, and the family has decided to keep their privacy unaltered. They have, however, made a few adjustments over the years.
Schumacher is still being treated at their home in Gland, Switzerland. Following a race they had both attended, the F1 legend’s longtime Ferrari manager, Jean Todt, discussed his health in 2019.

He fights on and never gives up. He also said that their friendship cannot remain the same as it once did.
simply because communication isn’t the same as it used to be. He keeps fighting. His family is also fighting in the same manner.
The former CEO of Formula One, Bernie Ecclestone, shared his opinions on Schumacher’s growth earlier this year. “He is not with us at the moment,” he said.
“However, he will respond to any inquiries after he recovers.” Earlier in 2022, Corinna accepted the State Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia on Michael’s behalf.
This accolade was given in celebration of Michael’s remarkable Formula One career. Corinna updated her admirers during her address.
She said that Michael is missed every day. But she’s not the only one who misses him. It’s his father, the kids, his relatives, and everyone in his immediate vicinity.
Though everyone misses Michael, Michael is in this place- different, but the fact that he is here gives us power.
They make an effort to continue being a family because Michael still enjoys it. And they’re trying to move forward in their lives.
It’s crucial to Corinna that he be able to continue taking pleasure in his personal life. Michael has always kept his family safe, and it’s their turn now.
In an interview with Bild, Jean Todt provided further information and praised Corinna’s qualities.
He said that since Michael’s tragic skiing accident on December 29, 2013, he’s spent a lot of time with Corinna. She is an amazing woman and is in charge of the family.
“I’ve spent a lot of time with Corinna since Michael had his serious skiing accident on December 29, 2013. She is a great woman and runs the family.
She hadn’t expected that. It happened suddenly and she had no choice. But she does it very well. I trust her, she trusts me.
Thanks to the work of his doctors and the cooperation of Corinna, who wanted him to survive, he survived – but with consequences. And right now, you are fighting the consequences. We hope that things will slowly but surely improve.”
