Michael Schumacher health update: Information on F1 legend's recovery still vague; racer's wife a picture of strength and will power

(REUTERS/ALESSANDRO BIANCHI)There is still no news on the current health condition of Michael Schumacher as his family maintains their decision to keep mum on the matter.

As the family of Formula One racing legend Michael Schumacher has maintained their earlier stand to keep the health status of Schumacher private, various rumors and speculations have surfaced claiming this and that regarding the condition of the racing superstar. While the veracity of the claims has yet to be confirmed, one thing seems to be believable: Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has stayed strong and kept her faith that things will end up well for her husband.

According to reports, Professor Jean-Francois Payen, who is supervising Schumacher's treatment, has said that Scumacher's better half has displayed a great sense of strength and will power amid the ordeal of the family. Payen said that Corinna is pretty much aware of the long journey it will take until they finally arrive at the long-waited and prayed for full recovery of her husband and has been exerting effort in small and big ways to improve his situation.

Reports also reveal that Payen has referred to Corinna as Schumacher's guardian angel as no one has loved the racer as much as his wife does. With the love Corinna has for her husband, Payen was even quoted as saying that, in the event that Schumacher will not be lucky to survive the ordeal he is in, life for Corinna will end as well, figuratively speaking.

Schumacher figured in a skiing accident in 2013 and was under an induced comatose for six months.

Meanwhile, in another Schumacher-related news, the F1 legend's son and his namesake, Michael Jr., has just scored a victory that proves he is very much on track in his quest to follow his father's footsteps. According to reports, Michael Jr. emerged as the victor in the Formula 4 race event held in Germany last weekend. With his recent win, the teenage son of Schumacher has now bagged four wins despite having started only last year.
