BERLIN (Germany) – Felix Gorner, a German journalist from the RTL channel and one of the closest to the Schumacher family, has provided updates on Michael’s condition.
Gorner reports that the seven-time F1 world champion “can no longer communicate verbally,” adding: “He is a person in need of care, dependent on those who take care of him, and can no longer express himself through language. It is a very sad situation.”
In fact, only a few people are allowed to approach the Ferrari legend: “Currently, no more than 20 people are allowed to approach Michael. I believe this is the right strategy: the family is acting in his best interest. They have always strictly protected his privacy,” Felix Gorner continues.
It has now been twelve years since Michael Schumacher’s accident, which occurred on December 29, 2013, when he hit a rock during a skiing descent in Méribel, hitting his head. For the first six months, the former Ferrari driver was in a medically induced coma, and only after that did the former Ferrari driver return home to his family’s villa on Lake Geneva, where he is cared for 24/7 by specialists and his wife Corinna: “He needs constant care and is completely dependent on his assistants.”
