Michael Schumacher latest health condition news: F1 racer still far from complete recovery; Lewis Hamilton shares story about Schumacher's secret
Rumor has it that Michael Schumacher is not getting any better, and the multi-awarded F1 racer is still far from complete recovery after his skiing accident back in 2013.
According to reports, Schumacher is already awake after being in a medically induced coma, but his health condition remains the same. Some sources from different publications also say that the F1 legend has lost a lot of weight following his head trauma and is now stick-thin. Since he reportedly lost almost 45 kilograms of body weight, doctors attending to Schumacher are said to be alarmed about his current status.
Meanwhile, reports about Schumacher being able to finally walk have already been debunked. For the uninitiated, the Schumacher family's lawyer filed a case last month against a German magazine that published a false report about Schumacher's health condition. He also clarified that the racer still couldn't walk to this day.
Since there was not much official update on Schumacher's health these past months, Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton took it upon himself to share a few anecdotes about the iconic F1 driver who used to be a part of his team. While speaking with Ellen Degeneres, he mentioned that the seven-time World Champion pees in his racing suit every time he was in his car.
"The driver that used to drive for the team, was Michael Schumacher, I don't know if anyone's heard of him, but legend racing driver, but my mechanics told me he peed every single time he was in the car," said Hamilton.
The F1 racer was in the U.S. during the interview and he shared Schumacher's story because they were talking about how extremely tiring and demanding Formula One races could be. He also mentioned that each race takes about two hours, leading the comedienne to ask about how drivers relieve themselves. "You're supposed to go in your suit," Hamilton replied, before telling Degeneres about Schumacher's habit.
