Michael Schumacher's wife on the F1 legend: "He is in the very best of hands"

Michael Schumacher is regarded as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time. The German racer won seven World Championships, which is the most any driver has ever won. Tragically, the Formula 1 legend suffered a serious head injury whilst skiing in 2013 and for the first time since then his wife, Corinna Schumacher, has spoken about it. 

"He did everything for me. I will never forget who I have to thank. That would be my husband Michael," Corinna said to SHE magazine when asked about life before her husband's accident. 

"You can be sure that he is in the very best of hands and that we are doing everything humanly possible to help him.

"Please understand if we are following Michael's wishes and keeping such a sensitive subject as health, as it has always been, in privacy.

"At the same time, we say thank you very much for your friendship and wish you a healthy and happy year."

Schumacher's condition is still uncertain but it is thought he is suffering the effects of serious brain damage. He will be proud of how his son Mick Schumacher is performing in Formula 2 and will hope that Formula 1 success is in his blood.
