Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher is not going, he does not speak, he did not speak and watched his daughter’s wedding from a distance.
Flavio Briatore, a former team boss Michael Schumacher from Benetton, spoke openly. After years of silence, he decided to show how serious the situation was.
“When I close my eyes, I see him smiling for victory,” Corriere della Sera told the Italian newspaper. “I’d rather remind him than lying in bed. I often talk to Corinna.”
Briatore admitted that Schumacher no longer speaks in words, his only means of communication is his eyes. It is surrounded by a narrow circle of closest, no one has access from outside.
According to Italian testimony, it is stable in bed and cannot physically engage in life. It is a hard description, but at the same time realistic.
Briator’s former wife Elisabetta Gregoraci confirms this version: “Michael does not speak, communicates only with his eyes. Only three people visit him.”
The legends of his participation in the wedding of his daughter in Majorca are probably false. Reports of the presence of a star F1 were said to have created a false photo or poor interpretation. One of the veterans of Benetton, Johnny Herbert, described this information as “fake news”.
When Albert Sabbatini, an Italian journalist from autosprint, also spoke Ferrari Jean Todt, confirmed: Schumi is different, but he’s here. “It’s here, so I don’t miss it. He’s guided by her family,” Sabbatini Todta quoted. “He can’t talk, communicates with his eyes.”
In April, on the other hand, the family decided to show a little hint of improvement. Michael, assisted by Corinna, signed the helmet of Sir Jackie Stewart, who then went to the auction to help in the fight against dementia. Herbert described the moment as “emotional” and believes that it can mean some improvement.
But this single act does not constantly return to everyday life. Schumacher lives in privacy in Lake Geneva and apparently is bedding. And maybe even a wheelchair. Physiotherapy and treatment take place at a constant pace, but the family has been silent about details for years.
His home provides strict care twenty -four hours a day. The family not only protects its privacy, but also faces pressurized pressurized and blackmailers. One case from the end of February dealt with the attempt to blackmail photographs from medical facilities, which led to a sentence of three years for the main suspect.
His daughter Gina married in September and announced her pregnancy. After the birth of her daughter, Schumacher became a grandfather – a joyful moment that the family experiences privately in the circle of closest.
Biatore and Todt emphasized that the family steadily protects its dignity: “The family protects him as he protected us,” Corinna said in a document on Netflix. “He’s different, but he’s here.”
On the one hand, we have the impression of intensive closure and serious restrictions. Communication limited to eyes, visits only for selected and no public outputs. On the other hand, the family shows that he takes care of him with incredible attention and love.
The mention of the signed helmet and the birth of the grandchild brings a touch of hope.
Michael Schumacher will never be the top racer, as fans remember him. However, his condition after a ski accident of 29 December 2013 is the result of long -term efforts.
It communicates with eyes, is present only inside the family circle. No weddings, no press conferences, no return to racing circuits.
Yet his legacy remains alive – the seven -time world champion, the legendary rider, his name forever belongs to the history of Formula 1. And even though he does not speak now, his story is still inspiring.
The legendary epoch did not end. He is still present in the hearts of fans and in a family that supports him with incredible care.
