Michael Schumacher: The world awaits the Legend

Yesterday marks the 48th birthday of racing legend and all-time Formula One record holder Michael Schumacher. The German who won 7 World titles as well as 91 Grand prix wins and 155 podium finishes, with teams such as Jordan, Benetton, Ferrari and Mercedes is still in recovery.

Three years have now passed since
Schumacher was left fighting for his life following an accident sustained while skiing in the French Alps with his son. He was airlifted to a hospital and placed in a medically induced coma, having suffered a traumatic brain injury.

He was in the coma for six months before he left the hospital in Grenoble for further rehabilitation at the University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

In September 2014, Schumacher was relocated to his family home on the shores of Lake Geneva where he continues to receive medical treatment and rehabilitation privately.

Official updates on the F1 legend has been been very scarce in the following months and years, though latest reports have it that his medical bill within these years has reached approximately $25million.

The first pictures of Schumacher since the accident were touted around European media outlets for £1million earlier this month, with police launching an investigation in to how the photographs were taken from the legend's home.

Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager, said before Christmas that there are no plans to release a statement with an update on his current plight.

"Michael's health is not a public issue, and so we will continue to make no comment in that regard," Kehm said.

"We have to protect his intimate sphere. Legally seen and in the longer term, every statement related to his health would diminish the extent of his intimate sphere."

His fans across the globe are all hoping and praying to see him back on his feet, just as his family keeps caring for the legend of the race circuit.

Happy Birthday Schumi!
Get well soon!
