Nothing is impossible with God. That seems to be the message of former F1 priest Don Sergio Mantovani when asked about the health condition of legendary Formula One racer Michael Schumacher.
Mantovani said that Schumi is one who believes in God even though he might have never been to church. But the racer’s belief in God would be crucial in helping him recover from his ordeal.
Schumacher had a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013 and has since been recuperating at his home in Lake Geneva in Switzerland, employing the services of 15 specialist doctors and medical care experts just to ensure that he recovers sooner or later.
However, the prognosis seems to indicate that it would be very difficult for Michael Schumacher to fully recover again. In fact, Gerd Kramer from F1 had recently stated that it would be nothing short of a miracle to see Schumacher fully recover again.
Mantovani knows a bit of Schumacher’s health since he has visited him not too long ago but he would not dare reveal it to the press in respect to the wishes of the Schumacher family. He also said that his visit was quite some time ago so he is no longer aware what is the most up-to-date information on the seven-time Formula One world champion, details Auto World News.
Responding well to treatment
Former Ferrari chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo is one of those privileged few who was able to personally visit Michael Schumacher in his Lake Geneva home in June and he said that the F1 racer is responding to treatment.
Montezemolo is also confident that Schumi will recover from his brain injuries, contrary to the negative connotations being aired by some, details The Telegraph of UK.
The latest statement from the former Ferrari chairman was a complete reversal from his pronouncements in February this year when he said that Michael’s health condition was not good.
Montezemolo said that Michael is immobile and is restricted to a wheelchair. He added that the seven-time F1 world champion has lost a lot of weight, approximating it to about one-fourth of his original body weight.
It is also said that the only means of communication that the racing champion can do is through crying quietly whenever he hears the voices of his wife, Corrina, and children, Gina Maria and Mick, who are also going through a difficult time especially in the financial aspect.
Fans of the German car racer are left with getting their update about Schumi from his closest friends who occasionally visits him in his home in Lake Geneva, Switzerland where he has been recuperating since the second half of 2014.
Montezemolo said that he is very pleased to know that the German car racer was reacting to treatment. He added that he knows how strong Michael is and he is sure that with the racer’s determination, he will come out of the very difficult situation in his life.
Reminding people of Michael’s achievements
Another person who is optimistic about Michael’s chances of recovery is his former manager Sabine Kehm who said that it is important to remind the people of the achievements of Michael Schumacher She said that Michael is the most successful driver in history. She said that a lot of people are missing him but they cannot change what happened.
She said that with the continued support, prayers, and patience of those who love Michael as a racer, he might come back because racing was his life and no one would have liked it to be part of major racing events than Michael himself.
The Schumacher family may have the right reasons to celebrate following the successive victories of Gina in the European equestrian competition and Mick in the ADAC Formula 4 season recently.
However, they cannot keep up with the jolly and celebratory mood since they have to deal with the uncertainties about the health condition and recovery of Michael Schumacher, who is still recuperating from his physical ordeal following his skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013.
