Overview

• Stéfan L'Hermitt told Le Grand Récit that Schumacher is "not doing well" but "might be getting better," while stressing that verified details remain unknown.
• Insiders highlighted a helmet signed this year for charity—reportedly with assistance from his wife—as a rare, tentative signal of improvement.
• An image showed "M.S" on Sir Jackie Stewart's helmet signed in April, described as Schumacher's only public act since his 2013 skiing accident.
• L'Hermitt said he has received no direct briefing on Schumacher's condition and believes the seven-time champion remains unable to speak or communicate.
• The family continues strict privacy with a very small circle of visitors, and a German court in February convicted three people over a blackmail plot involving private material.
