Overview

• Stéfan L’Hermitt of L’Equipe said Schumacher may be showing limited progress, while stressing that he is still not doing well and that little is known publicly.
• This year’s charity helmet signature — seen on Sir Jackie Stewart’s helmet with the initials “M.S” — is being viewed as a rare, tentative sign of life, though it may have been assisted.
• L’Hermitt said he has no direct updates and believes Schumacher remains unable to speak, with only small interactions possible with family.
• No independent medical confirmation has been provided, reflecting the long-standing information blackout maintained by Corinna Schumacher and a tight inner circle.
• Earlier in 2025, three people were convicted in Germany for a blackmail plot involving threats to publish private material related to Schumacher.
