Schumacher “different, but here” – wife of the F1 legend gives an update

Details about Schumacher’s condition are closely guarded by the family and the 52-year-old has not been seen in public since his severe head injury in a skiing accident in December 2013.

However, in an upcoming Netflix documentary about Schumacher’s legendary F1 career, Corinna shared an update on her husband’s rehabilitation.

“Michael is here. Different, but he’s here, ”she says in the documentary. “That gives us strength, I think. He still shows me how strong he is every day.

“We live together at home, we do therapies. We do everything to make Michael better and to make sure that he feels comfortable and that he simply feels our family, our connection.

“‘Private is private’ as he always said. It is very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Michael has always protected us, and now we protect Michael.”
