Little is known about Michael Schumacher's health since he suffered a tragic ski accident in the French Alps in 2013.
A serious brain injury saw the F1 legend placed in a medically-induced coma for months and since then only scraps of information have come out about his condition.
Last year renowned neurosurgeon Erich Riederer said Schumacher was in a "vegetative" state while his former Ferrari boss Jean Todt gave a heartwarming update in November, revealing he visits his former colleague a couple of times a month at his home in Switzerland.
The main reason for the mystery surrounding Schumacher's state is his wife Corinna. She has barely spoken to the media about the seven-time F1 world champion
Why all the mystery?
In a rare public statement from Corinna and the couple's children, Gina and Mick, around the time of the driver's 50th birthday, the family said it was following Schumacher's wishes to maintain his privacy.
"You can be sure that he is in the very best of hands and that we are doing everything humanly possible to help him," the statement said.
"Please understand if we are following Michael's wishes and keeping such a sensitive subject as health, as it has always been, in privacy."
Corinna has been caring for Schumacher in Switzerland as he continues his lengthy rehabilitation, remaining by his side throughout the terrible ordeal.
Last year the ex-wife of Schumacher's brother Ralf — also a former F1 driver — reportedly praised Corinna for how she has handled everything.
