Details About Michael Schumacher's Condition Remain Scarce Amid 'Secret Trial'

When a major injury leaves a celebrity incapacitated and fighting for his life, it is only quite natural for fans and casual bystanders to want to be updated on said celebrity's current condition. But when legendary Formula One (F1) car racer Michael Schumacher hit his head on a rock in a skiing accident about four years ago, fans and bystanders alike are left with no other choice but to respect his family's request for privacy.

But a curious mind remains curious until official news coming from the Schumachers themselves comes out. At this point, this seems very unlikely. Is the former F1 racer recovering? Is his condition improving at all? Are reports of him being able to walk true? Or is there more credibility in claims that Schumacher has been paralyzed and is in a wheelchair, unable to walk or talk, or even remember who he is?

No one knows for sure what to believe anymore — and trying to dig into the matter could only lead to a possible lawsuit. Daily Star recently reported that a secret trial was held with regards to Schumacher's health condition. It will be remembered that the Schumachers have filed a lawsuit against German magazine Bunte after they made claims that the 47-year-old F1 Legend could finally walk again. The report has been denied by the family, with Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm even calling it "irresponsible."

There is, however, one good piece of news regarding Shumacher's current condition. According to a report, a former boss, Ross Brawn, has revealed that some encouraging signs of recovery have been observed in Schumacher. He has also urged fans to keep praying for their champion's fast recovery, and continue to respect the family's request for privacy.

Despite the scarcity of significant updates, other than the usual "he's getting better" lines, fans all over the world continue to hold out for Schumacher's eventual recovery.
