In a rare and emotional revelation, Corinna Schumacher has broken her family's characteristic silence about the ongoing health battle of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher, marking ten years since his life-altering skiing accident.
The devoted wife shared intimate details about their family's "challenging decade" during a forthcoming Netflix documentary, offering fans the most significant update in years about the seven-time world champion's condition.
A Family's Private Battle
"We're trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does," Corinna revealed in the documentary, her words carrying the weight of years of private struggle. "We live together at home, we do therapy, we do everything we can to make Michael better and make sure he's comfortable.
"We're protecting him as much as possible," she continued, explaining their deliberate decision to maintain absolute privacy about his treatment and progress.
The Legacy Continues
The Schumacher family's resilience extends beyond Michael's care. Their son Mick has followed in his father's racing footsteps, competing in Formula 1 before becoming a reserve driver for Mercedes and McLaren.
Corinna emphasised how their shared love for winter sports remains part of their lives, despite the tragedy that occurred on the slopes. "Skiing was a big passion of Michael's, and it remains a passion for our family," she stated, demonstrating their determination not to let the accident define them.
A Decade of Silence Broken
The forthcoming documentary, scheduled for release on September 12th, represents the most comprehensive insight into the Schumacher family's life since the tragic December 2013 accident in the French Alps.
Corinna's decision to speak publicly reflects both the significance of the ten-year milestone and her desire to control the narrative surrounding her husband's legacy. "We have together found the strength to carry on," she affirmed, a testament to the family's unity during their most difficult years.
This rare glimpse into the Schumacher family's private world offers both heartbreaking honesty and inspiring resilience, reminding the racing world why Michael Schumacher's legacy extends far beyond the racetrack.
