Mallorca, 4th September 2024: Following his life-altering skiing accident in 2013, Formula One icon Michael Schumacher’s life has transformed significantly over the years. Information regarding his health has remained private, though it has been reported that he has been living in Switzerland. Recently, European media disclosed that Schumacher made his first public appearance in over a decade at his daughter Gina’s wedding this week.

The ceremony was held at a villa in Mallorca, Spain, and guests were reportedly prohibited from taking photos of the event.

Elisabetta Gregoraci, wife of the current Alpine F1 team supervisor Flavio Briatore, shared a poignant insight into Schumacher’s means of communication. “Michael doesn’t speak; he communicates with his eyes. Only three people are permitted to visit him, and I know who they are. They moved to Spain, and his wife has established a hospital at their home,” Gregoraci revealed on the Italian reality TV show ‘Grande Fratello.’

Local media reports indicate that Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, purchased the luxury villa from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

A few months back, former world champion Sebastian Vettel, who is close to Schumacher and his family, disclosed that the F1 legend “is not doing well.”

Schumacher’s lawyer, Felix Damm, stated that the family has opted not to release his final health report due to privacy concerns. “It has always been about safeguarding private matters. We considered whether a final report on Michael’s health was appropriate,” Damm explained to the German media outlet.

He also noted that had the family shared the final health report, they would have faced pressure from the media for ongoing updates.

“However, that wouldn’t have ended the situation; it would have required continual ‘water level reports’ from them, and the family would have lost control over when the media interest in the story would cease,” he added. “The media could continually reference such a report, asking, ‘And what does it look like now?’ weeks, months, or even years later,” he continued. “If we wanted to take action against such reporting, we would then face the argument of voluntary self-disclosure,” he concluded.
