What happened to Michael Schumacher in 2013 and what all we know since then?

It has been nine years since the former F1 driver’s horrific skiing accident. In December 2013, Michael Schumacher was involved in a skiing accident in the French Alps, in which he suffered a severe head injury. He was placed in a medically induced coma and underwent several surgeries to treat his injuries.

Schumacher is a former German racing driver who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. He won a record seven Formula 1 World Championships, five of which he won consecutively.

Since the accident, there has been very little public information about Schumacher's condition or recovery. His family has maintained a high level of privacy, and they have requested that the media respect their decisions.


In the years following the accident, there have been occasional updates and reports about Schumacher's health, but most of these have been unverified or have been based on speculation and hearsay.

In 2017, Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, released a statement saying that Schumacher was receiving the best possible medical care and that his condition was not a matter for public discussion.



In 2019, it was reported that Schumacher was being treated at home in Switzerland, where he was receiving round-the-clock medical care from a team of specialists.

In December 2020, Schumacher's family released a statement on the occasion of his 50th birthday, saying that he was receiving "the best possible care" and thanking the public for their "tremendous sympathy."

Corinna accepted the North Rhine-Westphalia State Prize on Michael's behalf earlier in 2022, an award honouring his incredible F1 career. Corinna updated her audience during her speech. She said they miss Michael everyday but are grateful that he is at least with them. She further requested some privacy .
