Schumacher's Wife Tells F1 Legend Accident In Documentary

JAKARTA - Michael Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has spoken out for the first time about her husband's ski accident and their lives since then.

The seven-time Formula 1 world champion suffered a serious skiing accident in 2013 that left him in a coma for six months.

Since then, he has been treated at home. But the family gave few details about the condition or its treatment.

However, in the upcoming Netflix documentary, titled Schumacher, Corinna and the rest of the family discuss how life has been for the past eight years.

"I miss Michael every day. But I'm not the only one who misses him," Corinna said in the documentary, reported by MARCA.

"The kids, his family, his dad, everyone around him. Everyone misses Michael, but Michael is here - different, but here. He still shows me how strong he is every day."

Corinna also explained that their families live together and continue to spend time together and are all trying to help Michael. This is a difficult time for them, of course.

"We're trying to carry on as a family. We're staying at home together. We're doing therapy. We're doing everything we can to make Michael better and make sure he's comfortable," Corinna said.

"We went on with our lives: private is private as he always said. It's very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Michael has always protected us, now we are protecting Michael."

Michael and Corinna have two children, Gina (24) and Mick (22) who are now F1 drivers for Haas.

For Mick, who witnessed Michael in the crash, it was painful not being able to fully share his racing career and his first steps in F1 with his father.

"Since the accident, of course, these experiences, the moments that I believe a lot of people have with their parents, have either disappeared or been few and far between. And I don't think that's fair," Mick said.

“I think me and dad, we will understand each other in a different way now. Just because we speak the same language – the language of motor sport – and that we will have more to talk about."
