It is now one decade since Michael Schumacher suffered life-changing injuries whilst skiing in France.
In a tragic twist of fate, Michael Schumacher, a legendary Formula 1 racer with 19 seasons and 306 starts under his belt, suffered life-altering injuries in a skiing accident in France in 2013. Despite escaping serious injuries throughout his racing career, Schumacher hit his head on a rock and sustained a severe head injury while skiing off-piste in Meribel on December 29th. He was placed in a medically induced coma in a hospital in Grenoble and later moved to Switzerland, where he currently receives around-the-clock care.
In 2021, Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, and their children spoke publicly about the accident for the first time in a Netflix documentary. Corinna expressed how much they miss Michael every day but emphasized that he is still with them, albeit in a different way. She discussed the ongoing therapy and efforts to make their home a comfortable and supportive environment for him. The family aims to continue as Michael would have wanted, maintaining their privacy and protecting him, just as he always protected them.
Updates on Schumacher’s condition have been scarce, with only a select few friends, like former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, being permitted to visit and share glimpses of their time together. A fake interview with Schumacher surfaced in 2023, leading to the editor responsible being dismissed. In honor of Schumacher’s charitable work, the Keep Fighting Foundation was established, while his F1 legacy has recently been surpassed by Lewis Hamilton. With multiple world championships and numerous records, Schumacher’s impact on the sport remains unparalleled.
