On December29th, 2013, seven-time World Champion Michael fell and hit his headon a rock whilst skiing in France, and was placed in amedically-induced coma. He was brought out of it in spring 2014 andreturned home to continue rehabilitation, although he has not beenseen in public since with the Schumacher family seldom issuingupdates on his health. Wife Corrine explained in the Netflixdocumentary Schumacher that "Michael is here, different, but here"as the German's family attempt to protect his privacy. Brother Ralf- now a regular in the F1 paddock as a pundit for Sky Germany - hasopened up a decade on from the accident. "I miss my Michael fromback then. Life is sometimes unfair," six-time Grand Prix winnerSchumacher explained to Bild. "Michael had often been lucky in hislife, but then came this tragic accident. Thank goodness we wereable to do a lot thanks to modern medical possibilities, but still,nothing is the same as before." "I can say for myself that hisaccident was also a very bad and drastic experience for me. But notonly for me, for example, but also for Michael's children: Mick, aswe all know, was there as a young teenager. "Unfortunately, life isnot always fair and there was also a lot of bad luck involved."Michael is not just my brother, he was also my coach and mentorwhen I was younger. "He taught me everything about karting. We maybe seven years apart in age, but he was always by my side backthen. "We drove karts together, practised overtaking, all thosethings that are important in motorsport. He gave me all theexperience he had gained in the previous seven years. I was simplyable to learn from the best."
