Elisabetta Gregoraci, former spouse of Alpine’s acting team boss, Flavio Briatore, has opened up about Michael Schumacher’s condition, and according to her account, it’s even more profound than originally thought.

The Schumacher family now resides in their secluded Majorca holiday home with the seven time world champion reportedly surrounded by a team of medical staff in charge of keeping him in the best possible condition.
As reported by Diario de Mallorca, Gregoraci revealed the depth of Schumacher’s current health state, which was hinted at by the Ferrari legend’s son Mick Schumacher in the homonymous documentary released by Netflix in 2021.

Speaking about ‘Schumi’s’ condition, Gregoraci said: “Michael doesn’t speak; he only communicates with his eyes,” before adding that “only three people can visit him, and I know who they are.”
Motorsport expert Craig Scarborough also gave a rather chilling update on Schumacher’s prospects and what fans could expect in the future.
The former F1 champion recently made an appearance at his daughter Gina Schumacher’s wedding, reportedly. Should his son Mick say ‘I do’ as well, it may very well be that the German world champion is able to be seen by friends and loved ones once again.

What happened to Michael Schumacher?

The former F1 champion, following an illustrious first stint in the pinnacle of motorsport and a less successful second racing period after his first retirement, decided to walk away definitively from the sport at the end of the 2013 season.

During the holiday season he went skiing in the French Alps, and on 29 December the German champion had a terrible accident where whilst on the skis he lost control and dove head first into a rock. The impact was so severe his helmet cracked into and that in order to save his life, he had to be put in a coma for 250 days.
