There has been very little in the way of updates on F1 legend Michael Schumacher\u2019s recovery since he was airlifted to hospital after a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013.<\/p>\n

The German icon suffered life-threatening injuries after he fell and hit his head on a rock – Schumacher survived the impact and was placed into a medically induced coma for weeks and unable to leave the hospital for several months.<\/p>\n

Schumacher has been taken completely out of the public eye to preserve his and his family\u2019s strict privacy, as he\u2019s not been seen publicly for almost a decade.<\/p>\n

The seven-time world champion\u2019s condition is under such strict secrecy that even the driver\u2019s friends and some members of his family have been left in the dark.<\/p>\n

Schumacher\u2019s wife Corinna, offered a small but powerful update into the 54-year-old\u2019s condition during the German\u2019s Netflix documentary in 2021, saying he\u2019s \u201cdifferent, but here.\u201d<\/p>\n

But a fresh update has emerged from one of F1\u2019s most esteemed journalists Roger Benoit, who regularly smoked cigars with Schumacher after races and was even gifted Schumacher\u2019s yellow Benetton overalls in which he won his maiden Grand Prix in Spa in 1992.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Benoit was asked by Blick if he was able to provide an update on his friend, but the 74-year-old could only give a heartbreaking answer. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNo. There is only one answer to this question and that is what his son Mick gave in one of his rare interviews in 2022: \u2018I would give anything to talk to dad\u2019. This sentence says everything about how his father has been doing for over 3500 days. A case without hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benoit was referring to an insight from Schumacher's racing son Mick, who said in an episode of the Netflix show Drive To Survive: "I think dad and me, we would understand each other in a different way. Simply because we speak a similar language \u2013 the language of motorsport.\u201d<\/p>\n
