Schumacher’s Condition Remains Dire 12 Years After Skiing Accident

Geneva, Switzerland – Twelve years after a devastating skiing accident in Meribel, France, Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher’s condition remains a deeply private and challenging struggle. As December 29, 2025, marks the anniversary of the accident, details, though scarce, paint a picture of a life drastically altered.

Schumacher, now 56, continues to receive round-the-clock intensive medical care at his Lake Geneva home. While his family maintains strict control over information released to the public, reports indicate that he is largely bed-bound and non-verbal.

Communication reportedly relies on eye movements, a detail revealed by Elisabetta Gregoraci, former partner of ex-F1 boss Flavio Briatore, offering a rare and unconfirmed glimpse into his state.

“Michael doesn’t speak; he communicates with his eyes,” Gregoraci claimed, adding that only a select few are permitted to visit.

Former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, one of the few allowed access, has offered somber reflections. “Michael is here, but he is simply not the Michael he used to be,” Todt stated in 2023, underscoring the profound impact of the injury.

Richard Hopkins, a former Red Bull and McLaren director, expressed a sentiment shared by many: “I don’t think we’ll ever see Michael again.” He cited the family’s understandable desire for privacy, making it difficult to comment on his condition.

The accident in 2013 left Schumacher in a medically induced coma, and his subsequent recovery has been shrouded in secrecy. A team of approximately 15 medical professionals reportedly attends to his needs constantly.

While rumors circulated about a possible public appearance at his daughter’s wedding in 2024, these claims have been disputed.

The Schumacher family continues to request respect for their privacy as the racing icon continues his long and private battle.
