Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher was in the limelight during his car racing days and has been considered as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. That and his other immeasurable achievements in the car racing world have somewhat went into despair when he met an accident. In December 2013, he and his son, Mick Schumacher went skiing at the French Alps when he unfortunately suffered a serious and traumatic head injury. Now, recent reports say that the infamous F1 driver's condition is getting better after his wife, Corrina Schumacher attended Mick's F3 debut.

Celebeat reports that FIA President Jean Todt posted on his Twitter account, confirming the wife of Michael Schumacher was at their son's F3 event. Corrina was spotted at Silverstone but kept a low profile, which fans believe that her husband must be getting better. "It's good to be at Silverstone with Corinna and Mick. It reminds us of the good times," Todt wrote.

The family of Michael Schumacher rarely shares his condition to public but Corrina's recent public appearance made fans believe that the F1 legend is getting better each day since his traumatic accident in France. It is said that the F1 driver is paralyzed but has been showing hopeful signs, which former Mercedes Chief Executive and closed friend Ross Brawn has confirmed. However, he explained that the legendary F1 driver is still in difficult stage and encourages everyone to continue to pray for his condition.

Michael Schumacher is in a wheelchair and has memory problems. Although there have been speculations that he is indeed getting better, his chance of walking again might be tough. Former F1 driver, Philippe Streiff told Daily Star Online that it might be hard for his friend to walk again given the impact of the accident. "After a neurological accident, you always have hopes," he said. "But after more than three years, it's probably more difficult."

Streiff has previously said that Michael Schumacher can still recognize those people close to him. He said that he has not seen his friend recently but hopes that the F1 legend should be out soon for his fans. Nonetheless, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm stepped out to say that Streiff is not a closed friend to the family. She went on to say that they are not providing updates on Schumacher's condition to protect his privacy with his family.
