Michael Schumacher pal makes stance clear on public appearance amid health battle

An F1 insider who regularly mixed with Michael Schumacher would welcome seeing the seven-time world champion in public again, but only if he is making progress. The Ferrari icon suffered devastating head injuries in a skiing accident in France in December 2013 and has remained out of the spotlight ever since. Throughout his legendary racing career, Schumacher fiercely protected his and his family's privacy. That approach has been maintained by his wife, Corinna, and their tight inner circle, meaning details about his condition are largely a mystery.
