New Claim About Michael Schumacher: No Longer Bedridden, Able to Use a Wheelchair
After years of near-total silence surrounding the health of Michael Schumacher, new claims from the British press have drawn global attention. According to a report published by the Daily Mail, the legendary Formula 1 driver is no longer confined to his bed and is reportedly able to sit in a wheelchair and move around his homes.
Since suffering a devastating skiing accident in the French Alps in 2013, Schumacher’s medical condition has been kept under strict privacy by his family. Only vague statements describing his condition as “stable” have been shared publicly, while detailed information has remained known to only a very small inner circle.
Citing its own sources, the Daily Mail claims that the seven-time Formula 1 world champion is no longer permanently bedridden. Instead, Schumacher is said to be capable of sitting in a wheelchair and moving, under supervision, within his residences in Mallorca and near Lake Geneva. If accurate, this would represent one of the most concrete updates regarding his condition in many years.
German newspaper Bild has previously reported that only a select group of individuals are aware of Schumacher’s true medical state. This inner circle reportedly includes his wife Corinna Schumacher, his children Mick and Gina-Maria, former manager Sabine Kehm, FIA President Jean Todt, former Ferrari technical chief Ross Brawn, Gerhard Berger, Luca Badoer, and Felipe Massa. Visits from anyone outside this group are not permitted.
The report also notes that Schumacher’s daily care continues to be overseen by Corinna Schumacher, supported by a dedicated team of nurses, therapists, and medical professionals who provide round-the-clock assistance.
As has been the case for years, the Schumacher family has declined to comment on the claims published by the Daily Mail. Their long-standing commitment to privacy remains unchanged, meaning the information has not been officially confirmed. Nonetheless, the report has reignited public interest and cautious hope among fans around the world.
