Exactly ten years ago, on December 29, 2013, Michael Schumacher suffered a head injury while skiing, marking a true tragedy for the world of motorsports.

He was skiing at the Meribel alpine resort when he fell and hit his head on a rock. Subsequently, he was airlifted to the Grenoble hospital with a severe head injury.

"At 11:07 local time, Schumacher, descending the mountain at high speed, fell and hit his head on a rock. Despite wearing a helmet, Michael sustained a serious head injury. By 11:15, he was placed in a medical helicopter and transported to the hospital in Moutiers.

Upon the arrival of the medical team, the seven-time Formula 1 champion was conscious. At 11:53, Michael was taken to the Moutiers hospital, and by 12:45, he was transferred to the Grenoble hospital. No information about Schumacher's condition has been released so far."

In the evening, it was reported that Schumacher had a brain hemorrhage. Witnesses from the scene initially mentioned that Schumacher was conscious after the fall. Perhaps this fact hindered doctors in understanding the full extent of the tragedy. This was likely the last reliable information about Michael Schumacher's condition and situation. Subsequently, everything was kept in absolute secrecy.

In 2014, news emerged that Schumacher was undergoing rehabilitation at his home, overseen by a large team of specialists. BILD reported that Michael was taken for car rides as part of his rehabilitation, with the hope that the sounds of the engine, which he had listened to for decades, would stimulate his brain. However, this did not prove to be successful.

There is no credible and precise information about his health and condition. Mostly, there are only rumors about the well-being of the great racer Michael Schumacher.

Schumacher is a seven-time world champion and is considered one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers in history. He holds numerous Formula 1 championship records for the most fastest laps (77) and consecutive championship titles (5). Additionally, he ranks second in victories (91), podium finishes (155), and pole positions (68).

Let us remind you of what is happening to the legendary stadium in Detroit, which hosted the Super Bowl and the Pope's Mass, the Silverdome.
