MICHAEL Schumacher suffered a horrific brain injury which left him in a medically induced coma.
Since then, very little about the Formula One driver’s recovery has been revealed. Here’s what we know.
When was the Mirabel skiing accident?
The seven-time world champion was placed in a medically-induced coma following a skiing accident on December 29 2013.
Schumacher hit his head on a rock while skiing in the exclusive French Alps resort of Mirabel, suffering a traumatic brain injury.
The sporting icon reportedly received £115k-a-week care at a special medical facility at his Lake Geneva home, costs which are now expected to have exceeded £20m.
How is Michael Schumacher doing?
Exact details about Schumacher’s condition have not been made public.
A brain injury specialist named Dr Mark Meeks is claimed to be a “new hope” for the driving legend.
Early in 2018 Professor Mark Obermann, Director of the Centre for Neurology at the Asklepios clinic said fans of the F1 great “shouldn’t (give up hope)”.
Lewis Hamilton added his support, writing on Twitter: “Praying for you and your family all the time #KeepFightingMichael #Legend”.
In October 2018 his former Ferrari boss, Jean Todt, opened up about his heartache over the F1 legend’s injuries – and revealed that he still visits the stricken star twice a month.
Todt, 72, said: “I love Michael. I see his family. I wish the situation would be different.”
What has his family said?
In November 2017, Michael’s daughter Gina-Maria posted an inspirational message urging his fans to keep their hope alive.
She wrote on Instagram: “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved #keepfighting.”
On 9 August 2018, Formula One legend Michael Schumacher’s son Mick shared memories of his dad after snapping up his first victory.
The 19-year-old Prema Theodore Racing driver had just claimed his first ever win in European Formula 3 at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium – his dad’s favourite track.
Speaking about his victory with Mobil 1 The Grid, the young racer said the track brought him many happy memories as it was often labelled “the living room of my dad”.
And later that month on 24 August reports in France emerged alleging that Michael is able to show emotion.
Touching comments allegedly from “family members” of the star suggest he weeps when he sees beautiful scenery from his window.
The two family members who “visit him often” said it was very encouraging that Schumacher still shows emotions.
The “close relatives” told magazine Paris Match: “When you put him in his wheelchair facing the beautiful panorama of the mountains overlooking the lake, Michael sometimes cries.”
What is Michael Schumacher’s net worth?
The most decorated Formula One driver in history, Michael holds the records for the most career wins, the most wins in a season and the most career pole positions.
He also holds the accolade of having the most consecutive world championships and the most consecutive race wins.
It mean that, alongside a number of high paid endorsements, Michael was once among the highest paid sportsmen in the world.
Latest figures suggest his net worth stands at just under £600 million ($780 million).
Corinna described her husband as a “fighter” in a note revealed nearly five years since his ski tragedy.
In the emotional letter, sent at an unknown time to a German musician, Corinna said: “I would like to sincerely thank you for your message and nice gift that will help us through this difficult time.
“It is good to receive so many kind wishes and other well-intentioned words – which is a great support for our family.
“We all know Michael is a fighter and will not give up.”
It was written as a reply to Hamburg bandleader Sascha Herchenbach who had sent the family a recording of a new song named Born To Fight.
He had composed the track in the months after the tragic accident
Mr Herchenbach, 38, revealed the contents of the letter in an interview with German magazine Bunte last week.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
