What Happened to Michael Schumacher?

Michael is no longer a public person so we should leave him alone and recover. He will always be a loving father and husband and a F1 legend in our hearts.

Why is it not a picture of him out there? I almost believe he is dead:( His son talk like he is dead. The same with the wife before she changed her word after that. But anyway it's not my case.

What is worst about brain damage is that it isn't immediate. Like a certain boxer, Michael was awake after the accident but slowly made less sense.

I wish micheal was around for his plan with his son.

[@archiefraser7987]

thumbnail quite disrespectful

[@Mickeysmart25]

He is and always will be The Best F1 driver ever. The day he had that accident is the day we lost the Michael Schumacher we know

[@Bannedone3ice]

What a legend, Michael Schumacher you’ll be remembered forever.

[@Otterbruce]

Michael Schumacher gave us fans so many memories and he risked his life for us fans. As a fan, I am completely ok with his family asking for privacy. They deserve that. The family must enjoy every minute with him possible. Maybe one day ther can be a behind the scenes documentary about him. However, I will always understand if there is not. Will always cherish the awesome races he gave us. Hopefully Ralf has completely recovered from his accident at Indy. I saw that one in person. I was appalled they didn't Red flag that race to allow the medical team to take their time to get him off the track.

[@rbmax33]

if Schumacher with the Mick, may be Mick also could be successful in F1 like Max

[@alanluscombe8a553]

I think about that often. Micheal’s plan was to be with mick and help him out and who knows how it would have gone but it sucks we don’t get to find out

[@patriciamonger5858]

He was my favorite F1 driver. Very sad that he was horribly injured in that skiing accident.

[@srmitch9260]

Fantastic video. Thank you.

[@tyren14]

I feel I've learnt a lot from this. No matter who you are, ones life situation can change in an instant. So savour every precious moment.

[@TheOfficialOrbitz]

Great video mate!

[@DailyFuelUp]

[@SantiusX]

#KeepFightingMichael Also, is this a re-upload? Because I'm sure this was uploaded on your channel before.

[@tohmastom]

Yee. He acknowledges it in the comments.

[@RasheedKhan-he6xx]

No mention of Ralph? Also I think the description of Schumi's personality is dead wrong. As a racer he was an ice cold professional not sentimental, not compassionate. He cared only about winning and if he never dreamt of cheating or resorting to dirty tricks to win it was because he thought it was beneath him. Two incidents I recall. One was, in a post race recap on ITV in England, they put a graphic on screen showing the racing line of each car along the track. Every other driver's trace was a scribble of lines one over the other as the race progressed. Schumi had started the race from P1 and as he so often did, he ran in first all through the race. His trace showed that for 70 laps, his racing line never deviated by a centimetre. The screen just showed one line. That is how precise he was. The second incident I recall was where on the morning of race day Michael and Ralph received the devastating news that their mother was either severely ill or had passed away (I don't exactly recall). Ralph quit the race and went home. Michael did not leave. He won the race and then went home without celebrating or doing post race interviews. When you know things like this about him you know there isn't a rock on the planet that would have the nerve to take him out. He's still fighting and I for one am sure he will win.

[@JeffKopis]

It would have been better for everyone, including Michael, if he had not survived. Then he wouldn't be suffering, and his wife could get on with the rest of her life.

[@lancearp7389]

The man is an absolute legend. If you have never watched a race in your life, you still know the names Schumacher, Petty, Andretti, and Earnhardt. Grateful for the legacy they left

[@me_dox6936]

Nothing is better than oppening youtube and seing a new video from daily fuel up even if i already watched it😅

[@duncandistortion]

Just sold his watch collection.

[@PaperBanjo64]

He did or his wife had it sold?

[@phillip8102]

It's obvious he's never going to be seen as a public figure again, brain injuries are one of the most tragic things to happen to someone. A friend of mine had an aneurysm burst, she survived but life will never be the same needing 24-hour care. I hope Michael has some sort of life whatever that is.

[@webrevolution.]

I don't really like people talking about him like you did at 15:28 because that's just licking the ass of someone because of how unwell they are physically and the tragedy that happened to them. What happened to him was truly tragic and nobody would ever want that for anyone, but it doesn't just magically change what kind of person he was. And he was not renown for his sportsmanship. At all. I for one will always remember him for being a prick in so many instances. Like colliding with Damon Hill in 1994 at the Australian GP. Or the time in 2004 at the San Marino GP, Mr. Schumacher didn't see Juan Pablo Montoya and pushed him wide and had the balls to come out and say he was in the right after seeing the replays. That time, Juan created a famous sentence people used to quote about Schumacher "you gotta be either blind or stupid to not see me". I honestly think he's both. Cause basically he proved being blind and stupid even before this when he turned into Jacques Villeneuve 7 years prior in 1997 at the Spain GP. Or him squeezing Barrichello in 2010 in Hungary TOTALLY off the track and almost causing a severe and potentially life threatening accident given the speeds. Also talking of Barrichello we have to remember that Schumacher is the reason why FIA banned team orders as when Barrichello was winning at the Austrian GP in 2002, Schumacher was gifted another win which he did not deserve. And so many other instances where he proved the world what an absolute piece of shit he truly is. I'm sure you can easily get a list of all the other times it occurred by just googling around. Don't get me wrong, he was objectively a very good driver. I will not deny the obvious. But as a person and mentality, absolute garbage. He's like a kamikaze of motorsport, if he couldn't win because he just wasn't the fastest or for any other reason, he'll make sure to try and take out with him whoever he's competing against for the championship. He basically took the concept of "do everything for the win" to a completely different level.

[@pamelasamazingworld711]

Just so everyone knows Michael Schumacher has just been seen in public a few days ago for the first time in 11 years attending his daughter Gina‘s wedding but no pictures were taken at the wedding because they didn’t allow cameras and also we don’t know what state he is in now but at least he was seen 🥺😢

[@sagitta98]

I understand why Mick never brings up or update about his father condition. I just hope he's fine and in stable condition. That man used to be a reason why I start watching F1 when I was a child.

[@chrisignatz1728]

We were privileged to be alive at the same time as Michael. He will always be our champion.

[@shicruisin7004]

Seeing him so well, so alive, so confident......and he had no idea that one day he would be alive, but then again, not really alive anymore. How ironic that he practiced and excelled at such a dangerous sport, which could have killed him every time he did it, only to end up being defeated by a rock on a ski slope. He loved racing/speed, and it was a race/speed that stopped him, but not the race he thought would stop him. It's like a sad bad joke. Bet he never even entertained a single thought that he might be put permanently out of action by a bit of fun, skiing. He has been bed-ridden and brain damaged for so long, I can't see him ever returning to any semblance of normality. I guess the next real update about him, will be that he's finally resting in eternal peace.

[@SR-kv1ic]

I’ve been a Schumacher fan since 93, and I’m disappointed that we don’t know what state he is in. It’s a bit selfish to not keep his loyal fans up to date, who have loved and followed him for years.

[@squadric7722]

the other way around...its selfish of the fans to not leave him in silence.

[@thiagobica4791]

What I don't understand is the why on not showing his state to the media? Why all the trouble for the hiding? It won't change his state anyways

[@afrodite01]

The first years the rumors were that they keeping it all a secret because he still has long term contracts with many companies, and so receiving huge amounts of money every year. If it was official that he is kept alive only by machines, the companies will try and probably manage to terminate that contracts. They can still do that now, but can you imagine the public downfall and PR disaster for any company that dares to do that now? "monster, cruel,greedy company hurts more the injured legend" this will be the front page everywhere. I tend to believe that rumors, it's Schumie, he's a legend, so we are talking about real real real money...

[@HugoSolvesCubes]

thank you that was a very good vid

[@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866]

Skiing is probably the most dangerous sport that the general public casually participates in

[@royavery6949]

Details are kept private to avoid ethical scrutiny of the situation. Hopefully those in charge of michael are abiding by what his wishes are or would have been.

[@noternunstoned]

A serious head or brain injury is not a death sentence, the brain can miraculously rewire itself and huge cognitive improvements can ensue. Time is the healer and Michael can regain a lot, I wouldn't bet against him.

[@mickg7299]

It would’ve been better if he’d gone out in an instant like Senna.
