Wife opens up on Michael Schumacher’s condition

LONDON. — Michael Schumacher’s wife, Corinna, has opened up about her husband’s condition for the first time since his near-fatal skiing accident eight years ago, saying the Formula One legend is “different’’ in his manner.

The German icon suffered a serious brain injury whilst skiing in the French resort of Meribel in December 2013, which forced him into a medically-induced coma for six months until June 2014.

Since then, Schumacher has stayed away from public life since being relocated to his home to undergo rehabilitation, with his family protecting his privacy and any details of his health for nearly eight years. Now, the Formula One legend’s spouse has revealed on the Netflix documentary “SCHUMACHER’’ that she misses her husband on a daily basis due to how different he has become since the accident. “I miss Michael every day,’’ she said on the documentary. “But Michael is here — different, but here. He still shows me how strong he is every day.’’

Corinna (52) has also rued the bad luck handed to her husband regarding the accident, after believing he was invincible after coming through his Formula One career unscathed. “We’d always made it through his races safely,’’ she added. “Which is why I was certain he had a few guardian angels that were keeping an eye out for him.

“I don’t know if it’s just a kind of protective wall that you put up yourself or if it’s because you’re in a way naive — but it simply never occurred to me that anything could ever happen to Michael. — Mailonline.
