Michael Schumacher seen in public for the first time in eleven years after a skiing accident. The reason is special – reports




Michael Schumacher is one of the F1 drivers who has transcended the sport. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion had a life-threatening skiing accident in the French Alps in 2013. Little is known about his health since then. According to reports, the 54-year-old lived privately in Switzerland and details about his health were kept confidential. However, new reports in European media suggest that the Formula 1 star was “seen in public” for the first time since the accident at the wedding of his daughter Gina to her boyfriend Iain Bethke at the family's luxury villa in Mallorca, Spain ” became.

Metro.co.uk reported that “the wedding is believed to be the first time Michael has been allowed to be in public since his accident.” The report was titled “Michael Schumacher 'seen in public for first time in 11 years'”

The German newspaper BILD also said it was “quite possible, even very likely” that Schumacher was present at the ceremony, although not in the garden, where other people besides “close guests” were also present.

Guests were reportedly asked to hand over their cellphones to prevent photos from the event from being leaked, according to multiple reports.

A few months ago, former world champion Sebastian Vettel, who is close to Schumacher and his family, recently revealed that the Formula 1 legend was “not doing well”.

However, Schumacher's lawyer Felix Damm has revealed that the former F1 driver's family has decided not to publish his final health report due to privacy concerns.

“It was always about protecting private things. “We have been thinking about whether a final report on Michael’s health could be the right path,” Damm told German media outlet LTO, as quoted by SI.com.

Damm also stated that Schumacher's family would have been pressured by the media to provide timely health updates if they had released the final health report.

“But that wouldn't have been the end and there would have had to be constant updated 'water level reports' and it wouldn't have been up to the family when media interest in the story would have stopped.”

“They (the media) could always pick up a report like this and ask, 'So what about now?' one, two, three months or years after the news,” he added. “If we then wanted to take action against this reporting, we would have to deal with the argument of voluntary disclosure,” he added.
