Schumacher: spokeswoman promotes hard line in defense of privacy

There is still great mystery around the real conditions of Michael Schumacher. The seven-time world champion, more than a year and a half after the bad accident that occurred on the snows of Meribel, is carrying out his long rehabilitation in his villa in Gland, Switzerland. Michael Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, once again defended the hard line adopted by the family of the former Formula 1 driver, claiming the right to privacy of his client. Precisely this decision, taken by the family and in particular by the pilot's wife, Corinna, has been heavily criticized over the last 17 months.

A concept which, according to the spokeswoman, dates back well before the bad accident that sent him into a coma. Undoubtedly, however, what happened to the seven-time World Champion in Meribel has magnified All. Since Michael Schumacher returned home, the family villa has been constantly under siege by photographers who, going so far as to hide in the nearby woods, hope to steal an exclusive image depicting the former driver, far from the public sphere since 17 months now: “Michael has always kept his work separate from his private sphere, an aspect with which he has never come to terms – Kehm underlined to the German weekly Der Spiegel – There was never any discussion of strictly private and no journalist has ever had his telephone number,” he concluded.
