Since then, Schumacher has been out of the public eye and details of his condition and rehabilitation have been scarce.

Innovative approaches to rehabilitation

A recent revelation by German newspaper Bild has shed light on an innovative approach to Schumacher’s care. In an attempt to stimulate his brain, Schumacher was placed in a Mercedes AMG car and driven around.

This method was chosen in the hope that the familiar sounds and environment of a racing car would have a positive effect on his brain function. This approach reflects an ongoing effort to find ways to aid Schumacher’s recovery by harnessing his deep connection to racing.
