Eleven years ago, Michael Schumacher’s life took a dramatic turn following a skiing accident. The family of the former Formula 1 champion has always remained discreet about his state of health, but now his son, Mick, recently made a statement on the subject.
It was on December 29, 2013 that former Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher was seriously injured in a skiing accident in Méribel, Savoie.
When the racing driver’s head hit the edge of a rock, the impact was so intense that the helmet broke.
Over the past eleven years, many rumors have circulated about the driver’s state of health, but the former champion’s family has chosen not to speak about it publicly.
Mick Schumacher, Michael’s son, was 14 years old when the accident occurred. He was also present on the scene.
-During an interview for the book Inside Mercedes F1: Life in the Fast LaneMick Schumacher agreed to talk about his father, saying: “He was very supportive and amusing to me, but he could also be a challenge. »
Mick Schumacher wants to follow in his father’s footsteps as a racing driver, but since his father is unable to walk and communicate with those around him, he cannot benefit from his advice: “Since the accident, well Of course, these experiences, these moments that I believe many people experience with their parents, are no longer present, or to a lesser extent. […] I think Dad and I would understand each other differently now. Quite simply because we speak a similar language, that of motorsport. »
