US EditionClose Friend Gives 'Heartbreaking' Update on Michael Schumacher, Frequently Talks with His Wife
- In December 2013, seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher sustained severe brain injuries after a high-speed skiing mishap in Meribel, resulting in lasting health complications.
- Following Schumacher's accident, his family has maintained strict privacy about his treatment and condition, with his wife Corinna discussing only the ordeal's impact but withholding medical details.
- Flavio Briatore, a former Benetton team principal and close friend who regularly communicates with Corinna, is among the few allowed to visit Schumacher and has provided rare public updates about his condition.
- Briatore told Corriere della Sera that when he recalls Schumacher, he envisions him beaming with joy following a win, expressing his preference to remember the former racer’s vibrant spirit rather than his current state of severely limited mobility.
- Schumacher's severe condition is evident from the continued privacy and restricted visits, while honors such as Sir Jackie Stewart’s gesture of wearing a helmet bearing Schumacher’s initials during a commemorative lap in Bahrain, with the support of his wife Corinna, reflect the enduring recognition of his legacy.
