Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher made his first public appearance after 11 years as he attended his daughter Gina's wedding at the family's luxury Mallorca Villa in Spain. Members who were there at the wedding had to leave their mobile phones at the door to ensure that there's no photo of Schumacher leaked.
Schumacher suffered a skiing accident in 2013 which left him with a life-threatening brain injury. He was skiing in the French Alps when he hit his head on a rock. After months in a medically induced coma, Schumacher now receives round-the-clock from his wife, Corina, and a team of medics.
"While it remains to be seen if Schumacher's presence beyond members of the family's private circle will occur again, his attendance at his daughter's wedding could be a sign that there has been a change in attitude from the family," UK Mirror reported.
Not much is known about Schumacher but some have publicly spoken about his recovery including the ex-wife of former F1 boss Flavio Briatore, Elisabetta Gregoraci. She previously revealed that Schumacher communicates 'only through his eyes'.
Former Ferrari chief Jean Todt has also spoken openly about Schumacher and his recovery in the past. He admitted that while his family have done 'wonderfully' since his accident, that his friend is no longer 'who he used to be'.
"Michael is here, so I don’t miss him. [But he] is simply not the Michael he used to be. He is different and is wonderfully guided by his wife and children who protect him. His life is different now and I have the privilege of sharing moments with him," Todt told a French Magazine late last year.
Michael Schumacher's brother Ralf has recently spoken about life after Michael's accident. "Unfortunately, sometimes life isn't fair. We have to accept it. When I see his children Gina-Maria and Mick, my heart smiles. If someone in the family is looking for my advice, I'm there. They go their own way," he said.
"I miss the Michael of the old days. Life is unfair from time to time. Michael was very lucky throughout his life. But then there was this tragic accident. Michael wasn't only my brother. When we were kids, he was also my coach and mentor. He taught me literally everything about kart racing," he said.
