Michael Schumacher’s wife Corinna has been “like a PRISON” for the past 10 years, keeping his condition a secret and avoiding parties and lunches to avoid questions, claims close friend Eddie Jordan

According to Eddie Jordan, Michael Schumacher’s wife lives “like a prisoner” and avoids lunches and parties to keep his condition a secret.

Schumacher had a skiing accident in December 2013 and was placed in an induced coma. He was later transferred to the family home on Lake Geneva in September 2014, where a team of medical staff are now assisting his wife Corinna in her care.

Jordan, who is loosely linked to the Ferrari icon, revealed last year that his plans to visit the seven-time Formula One world champion had been rejected by Schumacher’s family.

“It was the scariest situation for Mick and Corinna,” Jordan told OLBG.

“It’s been almost ten years now and Corinna hasn’t been able to go to a party or lunch or this or that, she’s like a prisoner because everyone wants to talk to her about Michael if she doesn’t come every time.” you have to remember Minute.’

Schumacher once described his wife, 54, as his “guardian angel” and she is in full control of shutting out any noise surrounding his condition.

Jordan gave Schumacher his F1 breakthrough with the 1991 Jordan Grand Prix but had no visitors as access to the former Ferrari star was protected by his wife.

Corinna has been shy about talking about her husband in public, but shed some light on her struggle in a documentary about his life to be broadcast in 2022.

Michael is here. Different, but he is there and I see it gives us strength,” said Corinna.

‘We are together. We stay at home together. We do therapy. We do everything we can to make Michael feel better and comfortable. And just let him feel our family, our connection.

“And whatever happens, I will do everything I can. We all will. We try to carry on as a family, as Michael loved and still does. And we go on with our lives.

“Private is private,” as he always said. I think it is very important that he can enjoy his private life as much as possible. “Michael has always protected us, and now we protect Michael.”

One of the few to visit Schumacher is former FIA president Jean Todt, who announced in May 2021 that he would visit the German twice a month.

In a rare discussion about Schumacher, Todt claimed the German was “in the best of hands” with the team of doctors working at his home.

Todt told the German publication Bild: “I’m happy that the fans, not only in Germany, think so much of him.

“People ask so much about Michael. The fans should know he is in good hands.

“At his best, he can be surrounded by people who love him.”

Schumacher and Todt have long shared a close relationship with a successful relationship at Ferrari – where the German driver won a whopping five consecutive world titles between 2000 and 2004.

It has been revealed that the couple watch Formula 1 races together when Todt visits.

Last year, together with Corinna and her daughter Gina, Todt accepted the State Prize of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Cologne on behalf of Schumacher.

It is the highest civilian honor for those born in the region and can be awarded to anyone who has made an outstanding contribution to the world.

The ceremony took place in Cologne, about four miles from Hürth, where Schumacher and his brother Ralf were born.

North Rhine-Westphalia’s Prime Minister Hendrik Wust presented the award to a sobbing Ms Schumacher and said: “Today we honor the person above all else. A person with a big heart who has always found it important to think of others.

Michael Schumacher also thought of those who are not rich. He quietly helped them with extremely generous donations and his family continues these charitable efforts.”

Schumacher is one of the most successful F1 drivers of all time, having won seven world titles: 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004.

During his legendary racing career, he also added 71 fastest laps and 155 podiums to his name.

His son Mick is now a back-up driver for Mercedes after being sacked from Haas F1 last summer.

In 2019, the Schumacher family released an update on his 50th birthday, assuring his millions of fans that they were doing “everything humanly possible” to help him recover.

In 2020, he was rumored to undergo stem cell surgery, but it was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last September, Zurich neurologist Professor Erich Riederer said in a documentary for French TV station TMC that he doubted the racing legend would ever fully recover.

He said: ‘I think he’s in a vegetative state, which means he’s awake but unresponsive. He’s breathing, his heart is beating, he can probably sit up with help and take baby steps, but that’s all.”
