Since the winter of 2013 and a terrible skiing accident, one of the greatest champions in history has been plunged into a coma from which he seems unlikely to get out one day.
On September 15, Netflix will upload a long awaited documentary on the career of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher without obscuring his accident and its consequences.
Reminder of the facts: on December 29, 2013, the German pilot took a ski trip with his 14-year-old son Mick and now himself F1 pilot and a few friends.
The pilot suddenly hits a rock, loses his balance and hits a rock head-on.
His helmet saved his life but he suffered a very serious head trauma with a vital prognosis.
Transferred to the Grenoble University Hospital, Schumacher undergoes a risky neurosurgical intervention.
"It was just bad luck"
After a long stay in Lausanne, he returned to his home in Gland (Switzerland) in highly medical conditions in September 2014. He has rarely left except to undergo heavy examinations at the Pompidou Hospital in Paris in 2019. Since then, the The state of health of the former F1 pilot is the subject of a secret maintained by his family, his relatives and his press officer, Sabine Kehm.
Nothing filters.
In the documentary, his wife Corinna does not reveal any resounding secrets.
But facing the camera, she delivers her emotion reported this Wednesday by the Télé Loisirs site: "
I never blamed God for what happened.
It was just bad luck, as it could happen to anyone ”.
For almost 8 years, Corinna Schumacher has watched over her husband every day: “Of course, I miss him every day. But I'm not the only one missing. The children, the family, his father, everyone around him. Everyone misses Michael. But Michael is there. He's different, but he's there. And that gives us strength, I think. We are together, we live together at home. "
In the documentary, Corinna Schumacher continues: “Michael is in treatment. We do everything to improve his condition, to make sure he is comfortable and to make him feel our family, our bond. Whatever happens, I'll do whatever I can. We will all do it. As a family, we try to carry on as Michael would have liked and as he would still love her. Life goes on. Michael always protected us, and now we protect Michael. "
