Rumors have circulated that Michael Schumacher, the seven-time Formula One champion, attended his daughter's wedding, but these have been denied by his close friend Johnny Herbert. Schumacher has been out of public view for over a decade due to a severe brain injury.
Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher has been fiercely guarded by his loving family since his tragic skiing accident.
But now those reports have been plunged into doubt by the seven-time world champion's close friend. Ex-Formula 1 star and Le Mans winner Johnny Herbert shut down the claims and labelled the suggestions as 'fake news'. He told Flashscore : "It will always be a closed shop. The most recent rumour was he attended his daughter's wedding. Unfortunately, from what I understand that was all A1 fake news and no truth in it.
In the immediate aftermath, it was confirmed that Michael was fighting for his life and in critical condition. Another statement wasn't released until April 2014, when the family shared that Michael had shown 'moments of consciousness and awakening'. The following summer, it was confirmed that Michael was out of the coma and had been moved to a rehabilitation facility.
In September 2020, it was reported that Michael had been spending more time in Majorca, where Gina's wedding took place. And more devastating details emerged about the reality of his condition. At the time, Elisabetta Gregoraci, the ex-wife of former F1 team boss Flavio Briarote, told Spanish press: "Michael doesn't speak, he communicates with his eyes. Only three people can visit him and I know who they are.
