The former German pilot seriously damaged his brain while skiing in the French Alps in 2013. Since then, his family has been carefully guarding information about his health and no official reports are being made public.
Last week, fans of the famous pilot were at least a glimmer of hope by former Ferrari boss and close racer’s friend Jean Todt, who said Schumacher was still struggling to improve his condition.

However, neurosurgeon Riederer does not share much optimism in the documentary for French television TMC. “I think it’s in a vegetative state. He is awake but not responding. He breathes, his heart beats, maybe he can sit down and help himself to take a few small steps. But that’s all, nothing more, “said the doctor, who is not personally connected with Schumacher and his family.

“I think this is the maximum for him. And is there still a chance to see him as he was before the accident? No, I really don’t think so, “said Riederer.
His words came just days after the seven-time world champion visited Todt at his home.
“I visited Michael last week. He’s still fighting. God, we know how the terrible and unfortunate accident while skiing affected him and what problems he caused him. But his wonderful wife is standing by him. He has children and nurses with him and we can wish him only the best. As soon as it is possible for me to do something for him, I will do so immediately, “Todt said after the visit.
