Michael Schumacher's health has been the subject of many reports online, mostly due to the secrecy surrounding the F1 racer's current condition. Schumacher's family has not revealed anything related to the famous racer's health and all the news about it has been mostly comprised of rumours.

The Schumacher family has been understandably private about the situation. But Willi Weber, the racer's previous manager, wasn't too pleased when Corinna, Schumacher's wife, refused to let him visit.

As fans know, Schumacher encountered a tragic accident in the French Alps which left him with a serious head injury. He had to be taken to the hospital in Grenoble for medical help but things looked bleak. He was eventually put into a coma. Unfortunately, his brain had suffered inflammation and had to be operated on to decrease the swelling. He was placed under extensive care, and after three months, he was brought back to his Lake Geneva home.

According to reports, it takes an entire team of medical specialists to maintain his condition and the entire ordeal wasn't cheap. The Schumacher family reportedly spent millions in medical costs that were crucial to keep up his condition.

There have been accounts, however, claiming that the 47-year-old racer's health is stabilizing. Of course, the Schumacher family has not confirmed this so fans should take the news with a grain of salt. Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, previously said that progress is slow with the F1 champion's health but little progress is better than none at all.

Now, a new rumour says that Schumacher's health is failing, which is terrible news. According to the rumour, an unnamed neurosurgeon has shared his opinion on the matter and claims that only a miracle can help Schumacher's health now.

Despite all these speculations, fans remain hopeful for Schumacher's future and condition, as well as for his family. Miraculous recoveries aren't anything new after all so Schumacher could be one of those wonders.

Stay tuned for the latest news and updates.
