Happy Birthday, Dad
Days like these were important to my growing passion for Motorsport, and still affect it to this day. I am grateful for all the experiences you have given me and I’m excited to be making new ones in the future. pic.twitter.com/aivNP2jlyK

While in September 2016, the family’s lawyer (Felix Damm) said Michael Schumacher had made very little progress since his skiing accident, revealing that he could not “stand up”, the Daily Mail recently claimed that “Schumi” no longer lived through pipes, implying that he was breathing alone, without medical assistance.
This is the only information on Michael Schumacher’s state of health that has been given in all this time. Apart from some news from Jean Todt, his former boss at Ferrari and family friend, nothing has ever filtered out since.
