There has been a little update regarding the present condition of the 7-time world champion, Michael Schumacher. The former Ferrari driver had a skiing accident back in 2013 while vacationing with his family. Since then, his family has mostly kept his condition under wraps.

There was so much secrecy around his health that even his former manager, Willi Weber, was not aware of his current status. Weber claims the Schumacher family may be lying about the condition of the F1 icon. The German revealed he has not been informed about Schumacher’s condition and that the family had kept out of the loop.

Weber told Gazzetta dello Sport, “I could understand the situation initially, as I always did everything I could for Michael to protect his private life. But since then, we have only heard lies from them.”

“Years after the accident, I said to myself to just look out for the family, as I couldn’t change things. He was like a son to me. Even today it hurts me to talk about it,” said Weber.

The German revealed that since the accident, he has been trying to reach the Schumacher family. But he has been unsuccessful in his attempts to know about Schumacher’s current state.

“It was a huge pain for me. I tried hundreds of times to contact [his wife] Corinna and she didn’t answer. I called Jean Todt to ask him if I should go to the hospital and he told me to wait–it’s too early.”

“I called the next day and no one answered. They kept me out, telling me it’s too early, well now it’s too late. It’s been nine years. Maybe they should just say it the way it is,” said the manager.
