Michael Schumacher 2017 Health Update: Former Manager Blasts F1 Racer's Family For Hiding The Truth About His Health Condition
Michael Schumacher was badly injured in a skiing accident in December 2013. The seven-time Formula One World Champion suffered a head injury which left him unconscious. He was later put to medically induced coma due to traumatic brain injury.
In March 2014, doctors revealed that Michael Schumacher was in stable condition and he was slowly withdrawn from the induced coma. He later regained consciousness and transferred to new hospital for further rehabilitation. The racer was then brought home and continued his rehabilitation with private medical health practitioners.
Since then, very little is known about the progress of his recovery. His family also stayed mum on champ racer's health condition and they succeeded in keeping everything private. However, Michael Schumacher's former manager is not exactly happy with the way his family is concealing the truth about his current condition.
Willi Weber, the ex-manager, slams Michael Schumacher's family because they were keeping his fans and everyone else in the dark. In his interview with German magazine called Bunte, he revealed how the Schumachers are hiding the racer's current state.
"For some time now, I've been saying that the Michael Schumacher family is not telling the whole truth," Weber said (as translated by The Sun). "But I am biting on granite because for a long time my advice is no longer heard."
Now, more than three years since the racing driver bumped his head on a rock while skiing, facts about his health condition remained hazy. In any case, it was previously said that Michael Schumacher is recovering well and with the help of therapists, he is able to take small steps already.
This information was divulged by the F1 racer's close friend and former Ferrari Technical Director Ross Brawn. Aside from this, there were speculations that Michael Schumacher can also utter a few words now. Such news gave fans some hope that they will see their idol fully recovered soon.
Then again, despite this report, there is no way to confirm if Michael Schumacher is really recovering well. His family still won't bother to release any statement regarding these claims.
