Michael Schumacher has been out of the radar for more than four years now. Nothing has been heard from him since his tragic accident while skiing at the French Alps in December 2013. He survived but the status of his health has remained a mystery, and fans could not understand why his family is keeping it a secret.

Now, because of how his family has kept the matters regarding Michael Schumacher’s health as tightly guarded information, many started to speculate that the former Formula 1 champ may not have recovered from his serious injuries despite initial reports that he has woken up from a coma and is already undergoing physical rehabilitation. The lack of info about the car racing legend has also led to the deluge of fake news reports, but his family barely clarified the false stories.

So, what is Michael Schumacher’s real health condition now?

In the early days following his accident, it was suggested that he has been showing big signs of recovery. However, his family has stopped giving updates after that. This is apart from the bits of vague information from his manager, who sometimes speaks to the media about the racer.

As per Mirror last year, Michael was brought to a brain specialist and this offered renewed hope for him to get better. Commenting on the treatment, Dr. Mark Meeks, said "We have extensive experience with trauma patients. There is probably no clinic in Europe that handles as many cases as we do.”

Moreover, as reported by Bravo last month, and translated by The Sun, Michael Schumacher may also be flown to the U.S. as the racer’s wife Corinna and their family decided to try every care available. With such treatments that he is undergoing and will be trying in the future, many deduced that the 49-year-old is doing well. It may take a long time due to the severity of his injuries but he may be able to face his fans again one day.

Lastly, although Michael Schumacher’s family and friends are the ones who really know the exact status of his health, fans are positive that he is recovering just fine. In fact, everyone is being optimistic and believe that the retired Grand Prix legend will overcome this most difficult battle in his life.
