Flavio Briatore Offers Emotional Glimpse Into Michael Schumacher’s Condition 12 Years After Accident
Twelve years after Michael Schumacher’s devastating skiing accident, his former boss Flavio Briatore has shared a rare update about the legendary Formula 1 driver. Schumacher, now 56, suffered a serious brain injury while skiing in the French Alps in December 2013, which has left him under continuous medical care ever since. Since then, his health condition has remained a closely guarded secret, with only a few trusted individuals allowed to visit him.
Schumacher is believed to be bedridden and receiving 24/7 medical support at his home near Lake Geneva, Switzerland. His wife, Corinna Schumacher, has taken on the responsibility of protecting his privacy and well-being. Over the years, she has restricted access to him to only a handful of people, maintaining strict confidentiality about his health.
Flavio Briatore, who managed Schumacher during his early racing years at Benetton — where the German won his first two Formula 1 world titles in 1994 and 1995 — remains one of those few allowed into the inner circle. In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Briatore shared a sentimental recollection rather than a medical report, choosing to focus on the emotional memory of the champion.
“If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a victory,” Briatore said, reminiscing about Schumacher’s energy and happiness during his racing career. His words reflect not only the strong bond they once shared but also the lasting impression Schumacher left on those around him.
While Briatore avoided discussing the specifics of Schumacher’s current condition, he hinted at a silent understanding between himself and Corinna during a recent interaction. He described a moment of “eye communication” with her — a powerful, wordless exchange that suggested shared strength and emotion regarding Schumacher’s situation.
Though the public remains largely in the dark about Schumacher’s exact state, the love and admiration from fans around the world continue. His legacy as one of Formula 1’s greatest drivers lives on, and moments like Briatore’s reflection offer a rare and touching connection to the man behind the legend.
The family’s commitment to privacy has only deepened the respect many feel for Corinna’s role, standing by her husband through an incredibly difficult journey. Briatore’s heartfelt remarks remind the world of the human side of Michael Schumacher — the champion, the friend, and the fighter.
