    Recovery: 2014 to present

    Updates on his recovery have been few and far between in the years since he returned home.

    He remains in rehabilitation, reportedly wheelchair-bound, and continues to receive visits from health experts.

    He has allegedly received guests, with his former manager Jean Todt telling reporters with Radio Monte-Carlo in 2019 that he had watched an F1 race with the former driver.

    F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone said he hoped the legend could eventually “answer all the questions” himself.

    How is Michael Schumacher now?

    The few official updates on Schumacher’s overall health have come from his wife, Corinna.

    In her latest discussion with the press, he said the racer is “different, but he’s here”, adding “that gives us strength”.

    She added: “He still shows me how strong he is every day. “We live together at home. We do therapy.

    “We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he’s comfortable. And to simply make him feel our family, our bond.

    “And no matter what, I will do everything I can. We all will. We’re trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does. And we are getting on with our lives.”
