Michael Schumacher's gruelling round-the-clock care regime was laid bare in a Swiss courtroom on Tuesday, 2 June, as a lawyer described the former Formula One champion's treatment as 'extremely demanding' during a trial concerning the alleged rape of his former nurse.

Australian racing driver Joey Mawson appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting the woman, who had been part of the medical team caring for Schumacher at the family's lakeside home in Switzerland. She alleges Mawson raped her twice on the same day in 2019 while she was unconscious at the Schumacher residence. Mawson denies the charges and has previously claimed any sexual contact between them was consensual. In a separate development, the court heard that the nurse lost her job with the Schumacher family less than a year after the incident.
