F1 legend back in the seat of a Mercedes car to aid recovery
Michael Schumacher, the iconic Formula 1 driver, has reportedly been driven around in a Mercedes car to stimulate his brain and aid in his recovery almost 10 years after his tragic ski accident. The purpose of these trips is to expose Schumacher to familiar sounds of race cars and the roar of a Mercedes AMG engine.
24-hour assistance from 15 doctors and a team of masseurs
Schumacher continues to receive round-the-clock care from a team of 15 doctors and a group of masseurs since his devastating head injury while skiing in the French Alps. Alongside his medical team, Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has been by his side throughout his recovery, ensuring that his health and rehabilitation remain private.
Decade of care and rehabilitation
December 29 marks the 10-year anniversary of Schumacher's accident, in which he fell and hit his head on a rock, splitting his helmet in two. This incident left him in a coma for 250 days. German publication BILD recently revealed that Schumacher's care team includes not only doctors and masseurs but also assistants who support his rehabilitation process.
Speculation on what could have been
Timo Glock, a former F1 driver and a friend of Schumacher, shared his thoughts on what Schumacher's life might have been like had he not experienced the accident. Glock believes that Schumacher would have continued to be involved in the world of F1, potentially as a team principal, using his drive and determination for success to lead a team to victory.
Family keeping life private
Since the accident, Schumacher's family has maintained utmost privacy, with the racing legend not making any public appearances or statements. He currently resides with his wife at their Lake Geneva home, where he is carefully looked after by his medical team.
It is heartening to hear positive news about Schumacher's ongoing recovery and his exposure to familiar sounds of race cars through his trips in a Mercedes. Fans around the world continue to hope for his full recovery and return to health.
