Overview
- On the 12th anniversary of his 2013 skiing accident, Michael Schumacher remains out of public view under round-the-clock care at the family’s Lake Geneva home.
- Former McLaren figure Richard Hopkins said widespread assumptions about Schumacher’s state are likely accurate and predicted meaningful details would surface only after his death, reflecting his personal view rather than an official update.
- Jean Todt said he visits regularly and respects the family’s decision not to disclose medical details, noting Schumacher is “different” since the accident.
- Access continues to be tightly controlled by the family, with only a small circle reportedly allowed to visit, including Todt, Gerhard Berger, Ross Brawn and manager Sabine Kehm.
- In 2025, three men were convicted in a blackmail case involving threatened publication of private images and medical records; one received a three-year prison term while others got suspended sentences, and the family has lodged an appeal.
