Overview

• Stéfan L’Hermitt of L’Équipe said Schumacher has shown “important advances” in the last 12 months.
• He cited a helmet reportedly signed by Schumacher for a charity campaign, which would be his first clearly attributable act since the 2013 accident if confirmed.
• L’Hermitt reported that Schumacher breathes and interacts with family but apparently does not speak and has not been seen walking.
• The account contrasts with March remarks by German journalist Felix Gorner, who described Schumacher as fully dependent and nonverbal.
• Access to Schumacher remains tightly restricted at the family’s Mallorca home, and legal measures have been used to prevent publication of images and health details.
