According to earlier reports, Schumacher was reportedly walking a little. However, it turns out that the reports were nothing but false and the family was forced to reveal that the legendary racer did not progress much.
A report back in Dec. 2016 revealed that a family friend, close to the Schumachers, reportedly smuggled and sold the racer's bedridden photos for financial gains. The said photos were sold for £1million, but no copy was every found because the German prosecutors asserted that it will be in violation of Schumacher's "personal range of life."
Schumacher's health updates have remained elusive, even though racer's fans have been clamoring for more details. The German racer's actual health status has only been shared with close family and friends.
The Family's absolute secrecy has been often criticized by publications and famous personalities, most notably the racer's former manager, Willi Weber. Schumacher's old friend and manager is reportedly upset with the clan for withholding important health facts about Schumi's recovery.
In an interview with German magazine, Bunte, Weber revealed, "It's time to pour pure wine for his millions of fans. But I'm biting on granite because for a long time my advice is no longer heard," Autoweek reported.
Schumacher family has kept Michael's health condition under tight wraps, ever since he met with that fatal ski accident back in 2013. While some believe that it is family's right to demand privacy in these testing times, others like Weber and his fans want to know how their favorite sportsperson is holding up.
Weber not only expressed his displeasure against the Schumacher family for keeping Michael's health status a secret, but also accused them of being untruthful to the fans. He believes that it is time that the family gave at least some indication about the recovery of their favorite idol, Express reported.
