The ex-Formula 1 driver gave encouraging but to-be-confirmed news about the evolution of the state of health of the German circuit legend.

Michael Schumacher celebrated his 55th birthday on January 3 at his home in Gland, Switzerland, where he continues his long convalescence, ten years after his terrible skiing accident in Méribel. While the family wants to keep secret the evolution of the health of “Schumi” who only receives visits from a few people, Johnny Herbert has left himself to a few confidences which maintain the hope of a positive development.

Former Formula 1 driver between 1989 and 2000 but also teammate of Michael Schumacher within the Benetton team in 1995, the Briton spoke on BettingSites by reporting information that he learned about in the world of motor sports. “I heard from F1 people that he sat at the dinner table“, he said before discussing the lack of communication from the German clan regarding the seven-time world champion: “We haven’t heard much from the family and that’s understandable. It has always been part of Michael and his family’s habits to keep everything very private, very secret.»

Still the big secret around the state of health of “Schumi”

Statements to be taken with caution because Johnny Herbert is not part of the closed circle of people authorized to go to his bedside. In September 2021, Corinna Schumacher broke the silence on the evolution of care in a Netflix documentary dedicated to her husband. A few sentences dropped between great concern and slight hope of improvement. “Everyone misses Michael. But Michael is there. It’s different, but it’s there. He shows me how strong he is every day…, she confided, adding: He is undergoing treatment. We do everything to improve his condition, to ensure that he is comfortable and to make him feel our family, our connection. Whatever happens, I will do everything I can. We all will. As a family, we try to continue as Michael would have liked and as he still would. Life goes on.»

Jean Todt, considered by Corinna Schumacher in an interview with Le Figaro in 2021 as a “Member of the family», is one of the rare people who can visit the German, whom he managed at Ferrari between 1996 and 2006 and of whom he is a close friend. “He’s not the Michael from before. He is different and is beautifully mentored by his wife and children, who protect him. His life is different and I have the privilege of being able to share moments with him. That’s all there is to say. Unfortunately, fate struck him ten years ago and he is no longer the Michael we knew in F1. he confided to The Team last December 13.
