Michael Schumacher health condition latest: Update remains undisclosed, Philippe Bianchi gives words of encouragement

Two years since F1 legend Michael Schumacher met a terrible accident while skiing in the French Alpine resort of Meribel last December 2013, his health status remains a mystery to the public. The only report confirmed is about him being under the care of 15 medical experts 24/7, while recovering in his Geneva Switzerland estate.

As requested by Schumacher's family to keep private about his health, his condition remains a mystery to the general public. In a report by The Bitbag, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm expressed support for the family, saying that the German race driver previously hinted that he wanted to disappear from the public eye. With the renowned driver's unfortunate fate, messages of encouragement poured in from fans, colleagues and concerned friends all over the world. While visiting the F1 headquarters, Pope Francis even offered a prayer for him.

As noted by Crossmap, the latest message of support for the family came from the Philippe Bianchi, the father of F1 Marussia driver Jules Bianchi. For the uninitiated, Jules Bianchi is an F1 driver who died in an accident that occurred while he is in the Japanese Grand Prix.

Somehow Bianchi relates to the family's pain at this moment, so he urged them to remain strong despite the adversity they are facing right now. "We unfortunately experienced a painful tragedy as well, and like us they (the Schumacher family) showed their strength and have never let go of Michael... For what I can say, it is to not let go. So long as Michael is still there, he fights," he said. "He is the greatest champion that formula one has known. Jules was very touched by the accident that happened to him (Schumacher) and today I pray that he can get through it, as he is still there and there is always hope," Bianchi added.
