Michael Schumacher's true condition, wife's rare TV appearance and brother 'very emotional' Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher's condition has been largely kept under wraps since he suffered lift-changing injuries in 2013 At the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, emotions ran high as tributes were paid to Michael Schumacher. The 57-year-old has long been associated with Monza, having won multiple times there in the red of Ferrari. Schumacher has not been seen publicly since 2013, when he suffered a skiing accident in the French Alps. Significant efforts have been made in the years since to protect the German's privacy, with only a select number of close friends and family believed to have seen him in that time. On Sunday, former Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel drove a lap in Schumacher's 2002 car as part of a tribute to the seven-time world champion. Others to pay tribute included the driver's younger brother Ralf, who had a significant Formula 1 career of his own.

Christian Danner, a former racing driver who competed in F1 in the 1980s, recently made reference to claims Schumacher was now living in Mallorca. This has not been officially confirmed nor denied, with other reports suggesting his time is divided between the Balearic island and his family's Swiss estate. Earlier this year, The Mail reported that Schumacher is no longer bedridden. The publication reported that he can be pushed around in a wheelchair, with wife Corinna caring for him alongside a team of dedicated medical professionals. Wife's rare TV appearance Corinna Schumacher is anticipated to make a rare appearance when a Netflix documentary about her husband airs later this year. 'Schumacher '94 – The Birth of a Legend' is due to air on October 2. The documentary takes a look at the 1994 F1 season, which brought Schumacher his first drivers' championship with Benetton. As well as delivering a breakthrough title, the season is also known for the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix. "We’re together. We live together at home. We do therapy," Corinna previously said in a 2021 documentary about her husband, saying Michael was "different, but here". She added: "We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he’s comfortable. And to simply make him feel our family, our bond. Private is private’, as he always said. "It’s very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Michael always protected us and now we are protecting Michael.”" Ralf Schumacher's emotional tribute Ralf Schumacher is six-and-a-half years younger than his brother and has spoken about idolising him while growing up. The 51-year-old enjoyed a 10-year F1 career of his own and revisited his childhood emotions when being reminded of Michael's achievements around the Monza tribute. "Well, it is very emotional," he told Sky Sports while watching a montage of his sibling's successes. "You tend to forget things because time moves on, Formula 1 moves on so rapidly, everything happens so fast. "I was always asked, 'Who was your personal idol?' And I never had one except my brother. And it's strange to say that because we are only six and a half years apart, but all I ever knew about racing, he taught me."
