While many people are still asking questions about Michael Schumacher and his current condition, not much is known about the health status of the star racer, and many are concerned that he will never make any significant recovery, and we might never hear his voice again. At this point, it’s pretty much guaranteed that there will be some permanent consequences for the racer, but it’s not clear exactly how much the incident affected him and what his state is at the moment.
Meanwhile, Schumacher’s birthday just arrived on January 3rd, although it wasn’t met with such excitement this time. Indeed, many are still deeply struck by what happened and refuse to believe that their favorite Formula 1 racer suffered such a tragic fate. And of course, there is much speculation that the star is actually making some recovery but his family doesn’t want to draw any unnecessary attention to his condition, which is why they are keeping it a secret.
In any case, whatever the status of the racer is like behind the scenes, one thing is clear right now – he still has the support of a great deal of people and it will be a long time before his name stops being in the news and in fan discussions. In fact, Schumacher has managed to leave a permanent imprint on the world of Formula 1 racing, and he will be remembered as one of the most legendary racers of all time.
For the most part, Schumacher’s family has been silent on the issue and we haven’t really heard anything from their side, other than the denial of certain rumors related to his alleged recovery. In some cases, people were trying to spread rumors that Schumacher was getting close to making a full recovery, but this was usually refuted by his family in a brief statement.
At the same time, the family of the racer has continuously asked for privacy, and they don’t want to be bothered neither by the press, nor by fans. Which, given their situation, is completely understandable. Most fans have been respectful of these wishes, while some have been more unreasonable and have been poking around for information on a constant basis. We can certainly understand the curiosity of some people in a situation like this, but it’s also important to remember what’s appropriate and to not cross certain lines for the sake of that curiosity.
We don’t know when we will receive any updates on the condition of Schumacher, but we expect that his family won’t make any other statements unless they have more positive news to share. Or, on the other hand, unless it comes to the worst. But let’s hope that the news will never talk about such a tragic outcome of the recovery of the star, and that we will eventually be able to see his face in public yet again. When that time might come, nobody knows – and predictions are certainly very difficult to make right now.
There are also certain rumors that the tragedy has left Schumacher’s family in a difficult financial situation, as the mounting hospital bills have been taking their toll on their wellbeing. While Schumacher was quite successful and wealthy from his career, it’s been reported that the cost of his ongoing treatment is quite serious, and the finances needed for it have been running shorter and shorter, though no exact numbers have been specified yet. There are, however, certain claims about sales that have allegedly been made that have raised a few eyebrows.
