When the F1 world heard about Michael Schumacher having a horrendous accident, it was a huge tremor. Along with Michael’s family, every person following the sport received a huge shock. It has been 9 years since the 7-time champion got injured badly in Meribel. In the meanwhile, his family has managed to stay positive. Michael’s son Mick Schumacher has raced in F1 for a couple of years. Though, it must have been a gut-wrenching time for them, especially Michael’s wife Corinna.

Back in 2021, Corinna Schumacher finally expressed her grief over Michael’s state. In the Netflix documentary Schumacher, Corinna said, “I miss Michael [Schumacher] every day. But it’s not just me who misses him.”

“It’s the children, the family, his father, everyone around him. Everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here – different, but here. He still shows me how strong he is every day.”

Corinna has been married to Michael since 1995. Despite having been through thick and thin with the German champion, these 9 years must have been a particularly tough time for her. Still, she mentioned how the entire family is trying to stay together and keep helping Michael.
