Three years after Michael Schumacher's tragic accident, many are still curious about what the racer's condition really is.

In 2013, Formula 1 racer Schumacher suffered a severe accident while he was on a family skiing holiday in the French alps. It was revealed that he fell and hit his head, causing him to be airlifted to a hospital. The accident brought many damages, leaving him in a medically induced coma. Now, it was reported that he has been in his Switzerland home ever since, slowly recovering from the accident.

As for recent updates, the Schumacher family has been quiet with what has been happening with the racer. It was stated that the family demanded privacy through the tragic happening. Despite this, there is still a lot of demand for information on Schumacher's condition.

This caused some controversy, as a German site decided to release false news about his current state. Upon hearing about this, the Schumacher family filed for damaged, suing the German publication. In order to correct this, the family was then forced to release an update about Schumacher's condition. Lawyer Felix Damm was able to give some news about how Schumacher is doing. He explained that Schumacher is still unable to stand without the help of his physical therapists.

However, it was also stated that he is still not fully recovered. Former boss of Schumacher, Luca di Montezemolo revealed that his heath is still not good. Aside from him, Ross Brawn was also able share some details about the racer, as he was able to pay him a visit.

Brawn said, "We go see him and hope and pray that one day he will make a recovery. I was quoted as saying he's improving and it was not what I really meant. The family are conducting his convalescence in private and I need to respect that. So I don't want to comment on his condition beyond saying we're extremely hopeful we'll see Michael as we knew him at some point in the future."
