A life under extreme care in Gland

Michael Schumacher resides in Gland, Switzerland, in a home that has been transformed into a high-tech medical center with 24/7 care. The setup also responds to multiple extortion attempts he has faced over the years.

Communication reduced to “just a blink”

Schumacher's interaction with his family is now limited to eye movement to answer yes or no. It’s the only conscious form of communication he can manage. This was revealed by Elisabetta Gregoraci, ex-wife of Flavio Briatore, and confirmed by journalist Felix Gorner: he can no longer speak or communicate verbally.

A tight circle of selected visitors

His wife Corinna has built a protective environment around him: only a group of around twenty people, mostly medical professionals, are allowed to visit. Among those with access are Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, and Gerhard Berger, all of whom maintain a close bond with the former driver.

Stress, safety, and the reason behind isolation

The accident didn’t just paralyze his body—it also took away his privacy. The house, fully equipped with medical technology and tight security, was designed to shield him from media pressure and external threats. Corinna has opted for a therapeutic family-focused environment to keep him emotionally connected.

🕊A legacy untouched

Even with his fragile condition, Schumacher's status as one of Formula 1’s greatest remains untouchable. Eleven years after the accident, his legacy lives on. His son Mick sees him as both inspiration and challenge, and the family insists:
“Michael is here — in a different way, but he’s here.”
