Michael Schumacher news continues to proliferate online. With the latest criticism and alleged untruthfulness of the Schumacher family, the longing of fans and former teammates endures behind the secrecy of the racer's health condition.
After suffering a serious head injury from a 2013 skiing accident, Michael Schumacher was withdrawn from the public presence. There were few news or updates being released by the family and associates of the F1 legend. Schumacher's agent, Sabin Kehm consistently defended that the so-called media blackout is being practiced to protect the privacy and personal life of the racer.
However, not everyone agrees with the current path being followed by the Schumacher's camp. Many fans and some former associates, including former manager Willi Weber seek for the truth behind the racer's health condition.
"For some time now, I've been saying that the Schumacher family is not telling the whole truth. 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," Weber told German magazine Bunte.
Another prominent personality and former associate of Schumacher also expressed his longing for the presence of his idol. F1 champ Sebastian Vettel expressed his gratitude and longing for the return of Michael Schumacher in the racing industry.
"We started this journey together, he was helping me out most the time in the beginning, and I was able to learn a lot from him. Daily Star quoted Sebastian Vettel as saying. We would have loved to have him here, and our thoughts are with him. We wish him still all the best, even though it has been a couple of years."
The conflicting interest among fans and the Schumacher's camp continues up to now. The latter sees the on-going selection and filtration of significant Michael Schumacher news as beneficial both for the racer and his family. On the other hand, some hopefuls insist on honest updates, especially after years of Schumacher's condition being shrouded with secrecy.
