His wife, Corinna Schumacher, revealed that this incident was almost avoided entirely, Insider reports. “Shortly before [the accident] happened in Méribel, he said to me, ‘The snow isn’t optimal. We could fly to Dubai and go skydiving there,’” she said. Unfortunately, Schumacher decided to stick to the original plan.
According to Yahoo Sports, Corinna Schumacher describes her husband’s condition as leaving him “different, but he’s here.” She doesn’t intend on elaborating more than that, however. “Private is private,’ as [Michael] always said. It’s very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible.’ Michael always protected us, and now we are protecting Michael.”

According to Britannica, Michael Schumacher’s motorsports success first earned him a Formula 1 spot in 1991. The very next season, he switched from Jordan to Benetton, an investment for the latter that paid off with his 1994 and 1995 drivers’ world championship wins. After that historic back-to-back success, he changed horses again, this time to the famed Ferrari team.
His Ferrari run started off poorly, with an accident that left Schumacher sidelined to nurse a broken leg. The following year, in 2000, he returned to the track better than ever. He brought Ferrari their first title since 1979. Then he did it again, repeatedly, racking up five more titles and setting the record for most Formula 1 championship wins in a single career at seven.

He retired in 2012, this time for good. He turned his focus to his personal life, preparing his son Mick Schumacher for his own racing career and his many hobbies.
