In December 2025, the tragic skiing accident of Michael Schumacher marks its twelfth anniversary. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion had a fall on December 29, 2013, in the French Alps above Méribel, hitting his head against a rock. The severe traumatic brain injury he suffered not only changed his life forever but also that of his family. Since then, "Schumi" has disappeared from the public eye - but his fans have not forgotten him. Millions of people still ask themselves today: How is he really doing?
New Hope: Small Progress for Schumacher?
According to media reports, the health condition of the former racing driver has slightly improved in recent months. A remarkable sign of this came during a charity event: When all the living Formula 1 world champions signed a helmet of the F1 legend Jackie Stewart, Michael Schumacher was among them. Under the guidance of his wife Corinna and with the support of medical personnel, the former champion was the last to put his initials "MS" on the helmet. For Jackie Stewart, this was an emotional moment. "It's wonderful that Michael could sign the helmet for this good cause - a disease for which there is no cure," he told the Daily Mail. "His wife helped him, and the collection of all champions who are still with us is now complete." This action gives hope that Schumacher is at least partially able to handle simple tasks. However, the extent to which he can influence his own life remains unclear.
Current Condition: A Long Road Back
Since his severe accident, Michael Schumacher has been cared for around the clock at his home on Lake Geneva in Switzerland by a team of doctors and nurses. His wife Corinna stands by his side and protects his privacy by all means. Outsiders rarely receive information about his condition. In the spring of 2025, Felix Görner, an RTL reporter close to the family, gave an update: "The situation is very sad," he said. "He is a person in need of care, who relies on caregivers. It is a very sad state." These words underline that Schumacher's path continues to be long and rocky. The last official details about his health condition date back to September 2014. At that time, it was said that Schumacher had "made progress in the past weeks and months according to the severity of his injury, but there is still a long and hard journey ahead of him." Since then, he has been cared for at his estate in Gland on Lake Geneva in Switzerland, surrounded by his family.
