Jan.26 (GMM) A new report has offered rare insight into the physical condition of Michael Schumacher, following a visit by a journalist to the F1 legend’s property in Majorca.
Daily Mail journalist Jonathan McEvoy says he travelled to Majorca to investigate persistent speculation surrounding Schumacher’s health, reporting that the seven-time world champion remains wheelchair-bound and unable to communicate verbally.
Quoting an unnamed source, McEvoy wrote: “You can’t be sure whether he understands everything because he cannot tell anyone. The feeling is that he understands some of the things going on around him, but probably not all of them.”
The report says Schumacher continues to receive round-the-clock care from his wife Corinna and a medical team, and has not been seen in public since his skiing accident in December 2013.
McEvoy adds that access to Schumacher remains extremely limited, with former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt described as one of the few people outside the family permitted to visit him, while former Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn is also said to have seen Schumacher since the accident.
The report also dismisses rumours that Schumacher appeared at his daughter Gina-Maria’s wedding in 2024, describing such claims as false.
