The Schumacher family has released a haunting video that depicts the F1 legend speaking on his career just two months before his accident.
Posted to the Schumacher’s website, the video is the first unseen footage to emerge since the 2013 skiing accident.
In it, Schumacher reflects on his life in F1, having ended his career for a second time only a year previously after a comeback with Mercedes.
Schumacher describes his most emotional championship victory – having won a record seven in his illustrious career – as being his first with Ferrari in 2000.
The video interview is marked as being given on October 30, 2013. On December 29 that year, Schumacher suffered a serious head injury after crashing while skiing with his son on holiday in Meribel.
He hit his head on a rock, leaving him comatose and requiring two operations.
The 49-year-old continues to be treated at home in Switzerland, with official updates on his condition exceedingly rare. Only close friends and family have been allowed to visit him.
In 2016, the racers lawyer Felix Damm confirmed that Schumacher “cannot walk.”
