Ten years after the skiing accident that mowed down Michael Schumacher on the slopes of Méribel, what happens to the champion? Difficult to answer, as the family has opted for discretion.
His piercing gaze has disappeared from the screens. For ten years, impossible to see Michael Schumacher. His state of health has been protected since his violent accident. On December 29, 2013, it was 11 a.m. on the slopes of Méribel (Savoie) when the 44-year-old Formula 1 champion fell on an unmarked descent. Helmeted, his head hits a rock: head trauma, then artificial coma.
The choice of discretion
One of the only ones authorized by the family to visit him is Jean Todt, his accomplice from the Ferrari team, who continues to see him today. Released from hospital after a few months, Michael Schumacher has since lived in his Swiss residence, surrounded by his loved ones. Can he express himself, walk? The family has chosen to opt for absolute discretion. “Everyone misses Michael, but Michael is there. He’s different, but he’s there“, his wife, Corinna, told Netflix. The journalists to whom the champion gave interviews were also excluded.
