Today is exactly 11 years since the greatest driver in the history of Formula 1, the German Michael Schumacher, was seriously injured while skiing in the French Alps, and his state of health is still shrouded in mystery.
The seven-time world champion died on December 29, 2013 while skiing in the French Alps, hitting his head on a rock. Although he was wearing a ski helmet, he suffered severe head injuries.
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong that day.
Schumacher knew the ski area very well, because he and his family had a house near the slopes, but no matter what, tragedy struck.
He was transferred to a hospital in Grenoble where he underwent two surgeries and was placed in an induced coma. Five months later, he was transferred from the intensive care unit to the rehabilitation unit, and in June 2014, he was transferred from Grenoble to the University Hospital of Lausanne.
In September of the same year, he arrived at his home in Gland, Switzerland, a town on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Since then, the media have only been speculating about his health, and the family has kept quiet about everything. Schumacher’s health situation thus became one of the biggest secrets of today’s sport.
In less than seven days, on January 3, Michael will turn 56 for another birthday that his family has nothing to celebrate as their lives have been turned upside down, but still with hope that his condition will at least somewhat improve.
During his career, Schumacher won a record seven world championship titles and a record 91 victories. He won the first two championship titles in Benetton (1994, 1995), and from 2000 to the end of 2004, Schumacher won 5 titles in a row in a Ferrari car. He competed in 308 Grand Prix races and climbed the podium 155 times.
Incidentally, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion also has a special connection with Sarajevo. He first came to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996, and then in December of the following year.
He arrived in an organization organized by HOPE and UNICEF to visit war-wounded children at the Koševo Hospital. The purpose of his visit was part of a UNESCO project to raise money for a specialized hospital for Sarajevo children, victims of shelling and mines.
Because of all this, the Assembly of the Sarajevo Canton has made a decision to rename the A transversal, in the area of the Novi Grad municipality – MZ “Dobrinja A” and “Saraj-Polje”, to the A transversal “Michael Schumacher” and in this way to recognize everything that has been done. what the legendary German did for the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Klix.ba writes.
