Today is 10 years since Michael Schumacher’s life-changing skiing accident
Every year, the Formula 1 community takes a moment to remember Michael Schumacher, widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in history, who suffered a life-changing head injury in a skiing accident a decade ago in the French Alps. Despite wearing a helmet, Schumacher sustained a major head injury and was placed in a medically induced coma. After several months, he emerged from the coma and returned to his family home in Switzerland, where he has remained out of the public eye. Schumacher’s condition has been kept private, with only a few close friends and family, like former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, allowed to visit him. His son, Mick Schumacher, has followed in his footsteps and is currently a driver for Haas in F1, while also serving as Mercedes’ third driver. As of January 2023, Michael Schumacher has turned 54 years old.
