Michael Schumacher’s wife Corinna has broken her near eight-year silence on her husband’s condition, saying he is “different, but here” during part of a new documentary on the Formula 1 legend’s life.
Schumacher, 52, was placed in a medically-induced coma for six months after suffering a head injury while skiing in the French Alps in December 2013.
The seven-time world champion is now cared for in private by his family in Geneva, Switzerland, with details around his condition remaining scarce since the accident.
But in an upcoming Netflix documentary, Corrina Schumacher, who has been married to Michael since 1995, told of how her husband is "different, but here", and that he "still shows how strong he is every day".
“Michael is here. Different, but he’s here, and that gives us strength, I find,” she says in the documentary called 'Schumacher', which is due to be released on September 15. “We’re together. 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."
Ms Schumacher and her husband have two children together, 24-year-old Gina, and 22-year-old Mick who has followed in his father's footsteps into Formula 1 with Haas.
In the documentary, which will include unseen archival footage, she also reportedly reveals how her husband expressed concerns about the snow in Meribel - a ski resort in France - shortly before the 2013 skiing accident.
Ms Schumacher emphasises the importance of privacy in protecting their family life.
“'Private is private’, as he always said. It’s very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible.
“Michael always protected us and now we are protecting Michael.”
Schumacher won a record seven world championships - two with Benetton in 1994 and 1995, and five in a row for Ferrari from 2000 to 2004.
The German originally retired in 2006 but returned three years later.
He had achieved 68 pole positions, a record beaten by Lewis Hamilton in 2017.
