Overview
- The latest claims, first reported by the Daily Mail/Mail Sport and widely republished Jan 25–27, 2026, say Schumacher can sit up and be wheeled around his residences.
- Reports state he remains unable to walk and continues to receive round-the-clock care at homes in Switzerland and on Majorca.
- Sources cited by outlets describe limited comprehension and uncertain communication, with some accounts saying he is non‑verbal and uses his eyes to respond.
- Coverage details an estimated weekly care cost in the tens of thousands and a dedicated team of roughly 15 medical professionals providing 24/7 support.
- Access is restricted to a small inner circle that includes Jean Todt, and reports refute earlier claims he attended his daughter’s 2024 wedding, a stance reinforced by 2025 extortion convictions over stolen images and files.
