Michael Schumacher's daughter Gina has spoken publicly for the first time about the 'tragedy' of her father's condition, revealing in a new German documentary how she rebuilt her life through horses after his near-fatal skiing accident in France on 29 December 2013.
The seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael has lived in almost complete privacy since he suffered a severe head injury while skiing off-piste in Méribel, in the French Alps, striking his head on a rock. He spent months in hospital and was later moved to the family home for long-term care. In the twelve years since, his wife Corinna and a tight circle of relatives have enforced a near-total blackout on medical updates or images, turning Schumacher into one of the most famous yet least-seen figures in modern sport.
