Michael Schumacher's health has been a disturbing and cryptic subject for almost seven years, when the seven-time Formula 1 champion suffered a serious accident while skiing in the French Alps.
This Saturday, the person in charge of providing a pinch of information in this regard was Elisabetta Gregoraci, the ex-wife of Flavio Briatore, the former sports director of the Renault team.
Gregoraci said in an Italian television program that
Schumacher can only communicate with his eyes and that his reactions are very small
.
In addition, he assured that only three people can visit him.

In the house where the program takes place, the woman talked about the ex-pilot with another participant.
“It does not speak, it communicates with the eyes.
Only three people can visit it and I know who they are, ”he said, according to
Sport Mediaset
.
"They moved to Spain and his wife has set up a hospital in that house," he added.

The words of Gregoraci, who did not clarify the source that had provided this information, drew attention due to the discretion with which the Schumacher family has handled themselves since the accident.
A couple of weeks ago, Jean Todt, a former team boss at Ferrari, said that he had visited the German.
“I saw Michael last week.
He is fighting.
I hope the world can see it again soon.
For this, both he and his family are working, "he said.
Just a few days later, the Swiss neurosurgeon Erich Riederer questioned the possible recovery of the former Formula 1 champion.
"I think he is in a vegetative state, which means that he is awake but does not respond,"
the doctor ventured in the Monegasque signal. TMC.
Added to this was the comment that Elisabetta Gregoraci made this Saturday.

Following this triumph, Schumacher, who had also won at Monza earlier this month, leads the table with 186 points and leads Britain's Callum Ilott by 18 with only five races remaining to finish the season.
