Michael Schumacher's Decade-Long Care Unveiled: New Details Emerge a Decade After Tragic Skiing Accident
Published 2 years ago on Dec 28, 2023

Ten years after his devastating skiing accident in the French Alps, new details have emerged regarding the intensive round-the-clock care provided to seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher. The December 29 anniversary marks a decade since the iconic racer suffered severe head injuries while skiing off-piste in Meribel, despite wearing a helmet.

Schumacher, now 54, fell and hit his head on a rock, leading to a prolonged period in an artificial coma and multiple surgeries. Maintaining a strict privacy policy, his family has entrusted his care to a dedicated medical team led by his wife, Corinna, at their Lake Geneva home.

In a recent revelation by German publication BILD, it was disclosed that part of Schumacher's rehabilitation involves being driven in a Mercedes AMG car. This unique approach aims to stimulate his brain with familiar sounds, considering Schumacher's extensive career in racing spanning over two decades.

Up to 15 doctors, masseurs, and assistants form a comprehensive care team, ensuring Schumacher receives optimal care around the clock. Corinna Schumacher, overseeing visitation rules, permits close friends like Jean Todt and Luca Badoer, providing insight into the Formula One legend's private life.

A five-part documentary by German broadcaster ARD, starting today, offers fans a rare glimpse into Schumacher's life. This follows a 2021 Netflix documentary where Corinna provided a rare update, stating that despite life-changing injuries, Schumacher is now 'different, but here.'

His brother Ralf, a former F1 race winner, shared his perspective on the changes, acknowledging that "things aren't as they used to be." Ralf emphasized the unpredictability of life, expressing nostalgia for the "Michael of the old days" while acknowledging the opportunities advanced medical science provides.

Corinna, described as 'getting on with life as he would have wanted,' married Schumacher in 1995, and they share two children. Son Mick, following in his father's footsteps, has become an F1 driver. Schumacher's illustrious career includes back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995 with Benetton, followed by five consecutive championships with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004. His return to the sport with Mercedes in 2010 concluded in 2012, a year before the tragic skiing accident.
