Married to Michael Schumacher, famous Formula 1 champion since 1995, Corinna, his partner, speaks in complete privacy about their relationship.
His life has completely changed since December 29, 2013. That day, Michael Schumacher, seven-time Formula 1 world champion, was the victim of a skiing accident. The shock, of extreme violence, left him with serious after-effects. Today, his state of health is far from reassuring. Fortunately, he can count on the support of his family. Particularly on his wife Corinna, who does not hesitate to discuss his special character in private.
Michael Schumacher, a very caring lover
In the Netflix documentary devoted to the career of Michael Schumacher, his partner spoke openly about several aspects of their life as a couple. And more particularly on what kind of husband he is away from the cameras. According to his words, the famous Formula 1 driver is a very attentive man on a daily basis: “I organized a birthday dinner for him once. He was the only one to help me do the dishes (…) He was very funny, and that's what I saw in him. I fell in love with him because he was a wonderful man. I felt he was special to me. In her story, Corinne did not forget to tell how she supported him in his career.
This little detail made his wife crack up
Still the film, Michael Schumacher's wife also revealed her secret to best optimizing her performance. “He planned everything down to the minute. Wake up at a certain time, 15 to 20 minutes in the bathroom. One evening, when we were at Suzuka, I realized that I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I I spent the night sitting on the toilet, so as not to wake him and to be sure he slept well.”she confided. A nice mark of attention that he was able to give her: “On the other hand, when we were at home, and Michael had to leave early, I never heard him. He was so discreet. He always came into bed just before leaving, stroked my arm, kissed me and said, 'I'm going.' And he was leaving. Without ever waking up. He was always very attentive to me.”she continued
Michael Schumacher's ex-bodyguard demands 15 million euros
At the moment, the athlete's family is at the heart of a legal case involving his ex-bodyguard. The latter, named Markus Fritsche, is in fact accused of having tried to extort 15 million euros, threatening to reveal compromising documents. Very close to Michael Schumacher's family for eight years, the henchman had thus gained their trust. He therefore remained close to them well after the tragedy and had access to personal information… Photos, videos and medical files. After being fired, Fritsche allegedly took nearly 1,500 photographs and 200 videos. And with his two accomplices, Yilmaz Tozturkan and Daniel Lins, he would have developed this plan to extort money in exchange for the non-disclosure of these sensitive documents.
