What’s new from Schumacher
It has been 10 years since the accident of the German driver Michael Schumacher and, the truth is, little has been known about his current state of health.
There are few people close to the pilot who have been able to visit him, but at the same time there is a family code of silence, which does not allow them to talk about his health.
Nick Fry, alongside Ross Brawn, was one of the key personalities for the multiple champion of the category to return to F-1 between 2010 and 2012.
Fry referred to the seven-time world champion and left a few words about Schumacher’s health.
“It is in the hands of the best medical team in the world,” he said in an interview on the ‘Online Betting Guide’ portal.
“No one has ever received the medical care they are receiving from Schumacher. I have not heard anything about Schumacher’s condition, so I cannot confirm or deny any of the recent information that has come out about him,” he said.
And he added: “I am 100 percent sure that no human being in history has received the treatment he is receiving. The family has the resources.”
Recently, Johnny Herbert, who was with Schumacher at Benneton, said that some people point out that Michael “sits at the dinner table.”
“I’m praying and hoping that they’re making progress with Michael. If the news about him sitting at the table and getting into a car is true, I wouldn’t be surprised, because I imagine that’s the kind of thing you’d do to get your brain get going again,” Fry said.
