Former Scuderia Ferrari and Formula One legend Michael Schumacher spent his recent 50th birthday at a new family home in Mallorca. That is the claim of the German publications Bunte and Bild, who recently reports that the seven-time Formula One world champion was flown to the Mediterranean island by helicopter just a few days before Christmas.
It could indicate a significant development in Michael Schumacher’s recovery from brain injuries sustained in a late 2013 skiing accident. Until now, it is believed the great German has been confined to his home in Switzerland.
Last year, it was reported that Michael Schumacher’s family, led by his wife Corinna, had bought a EUR 30 million property in Mallorca. The former Ferrari and Mercedes driver’s children Gina-Maria and Mick were reportedly also with their parents for the Christmas, New Year and birthday break. German weekly magazine Bunte added that Michael Schumacher’s nurses wore surgical masks, while the winner of a record 91 Formula One grands prix sat on the terrace wrapped in a brown blanket. The publication also notes that the choice of Mallorca was influenced by the fact that Michael Schumacher used to spend holidays on the island.
His brother, Ralf, also spends a good part of the year there.
Michael Schumacher’s family has remained private about his life since the seven-time F1 champion suffered a catastrophic brain injury while skiing in December 2013.
