It should be noted that very little has been known about Schumacher's condition since the injury, as his family has been extremely protective of the former German athlete's private life.

"The situation is very sad. He needs constant care and is completely dependent on his caregivers. And he can no longer express himself verbally. Currently, there's a maximum of 20 people who can approach Michael. And, in my opinion, it's the right strategy. Because the family is acting in Michael's best interests. They've always strictly protected his privacy, and that hasn't changed," Görner said.

Elisabetta Gregoraci, the ex-wife of former Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore, also mentioned that Michael cannot speak and communicates with those around him only with his eyes. She also stated that only three people are allowed to visit him.
