Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher is now communicating solely with his eyes after a devastating skiing accident over a decade ago. The revered driver, who is 47 years old, suffered a catastrophic head injury while skiing in the French Alps, hitting his head on a rock 11 years ago. After spending a significant time in a medically-induced coma, Schumacher is now being cared for around the clock by his wife, Corinna, and a team of medical professionals.
The Schumacher family has been very private about his condition, with only a handful of people being fully informed about the health of the seven-time world champion. However, some have shared insights into his recovery process, including Elisabetta Gregoraci, the ex-wife of former F1 boss Flavio Briatore, who revealed that Schumacher 'communicates only through his eyes'.
