The mystery of MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
A RECENT PHOTO HAS RACING FANS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATS
After surviving a horrific ski accident in 2013, Formula One fans have been desperate to find out just what happened to Michael Schumacher. While his exact condition remains a closely guarded secret, it’s hard to comprehend there has not been a single sighting of Michael, who turned 54 last week, since the day he hit his head on a rock while skiing in the French Alps.
But a recent family photo posted on Instagram by Michael’s 23-year-old son Mick, himself a Formula
One driver, has sparked plenty of fresh interest from fans.
On Christmas Day, Mick posted the most beautiful message, sharing a photo of he and his older sister, Ginamaria, with their mum, Corinna, at the Schumacher estate in Switzerland.
Gina, 25, who is an accomplished equestrian, also shared an older image with her brother and her boyfriend, show jumper Iain Bethke, alongside a message “The joy of Christmas is family.”
The posts come following a tweet back in November published from Michael’s official account to mark the 10-year anniversary of his retirement.
“Life is about passions. Thank you for sharing mine,” the message stated. It was followed by the hashtags #Teammichael and #Keepfighting.
According to our wellplaced insider, the fact the usually private family are ramping things up on social media could well be the biggest clue so far that they might be about to reveal more information about Michael’s condition.
With Mick’s Christmas post attracting more than 700,000 likes, fans did not hold back with their comments, begging the question “who takes the photo” – many suggested it may well be Michael himself who was behind the camera. Another fan lamented “everyone would’ve been happier to see Michael in this picture.”
“Michael’s children were very young when he had the accident – Mick was only 14 and was with his dad that day on the mountain when their world turned upside down,” the insider explains.
“Now both kids are all grown up – it might just take young Mick tying the knot with his great love Justine [Huysman], and

Gina wanting her dad to hold her hand down the aisle when she weds Iain that might finally bring him out of his reclusive life.
“Every father wants to be at his little girl’s side on such a special occasion.
“He wouldn’t expect the kids to have to hide away on the most important day of their lives – this might be the catalyst they need.”
While some conspiracy theorists believe Michael may not even be alive, it remains to be seen if fans get to pay tribute to one of the finest Formula One drivers of all time soon.
In 2021, Michael’s brave wife, Corinna, who hasn’t left his side since the accident, opened up about her husband’s devastating injuries in a Netflix documentary about the German driver’s life called Schumacher.
“Everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here – different, but here,” Corinna said. “He still shows me how strong he is every day.”
