In January 2018, Schumacher celebrated his 49th birthday and his daughter Gina took to Instagram leaving a message to her father.

She wrote on Insta post : “Happy Birthday to the best Dad ever. We love you. #keepfighting.”

Wife Corinna, son Mick Schumacher, and daughter Gina-Maria, rarely discuss about his condition since the tragedy.

In the beginning of the 2018 F1 season, with the seven-time world champion very much in people's minds and fans, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said they were grateful for all the support from fans and friends.

She said: “What can be said is that the family really appreciates the empathy of the fans.

“The people really do see and understand (his health situation) is not to be shared in the public eye.”

Doctors described his condition as “extremely serious” after the accident, the F1 driver was put into a medically induced coma and underwent two major life-saving operations at Grenoble Hospital, France.

In April 2014 Schumacher was taken out from the coma and was moved to a hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, before he was brought home in September 2014.

Schumacher’s family has remained private about his life since the skiing accident. The German is still battling to overcome life-threatening injuries and is currently treated at a mansion owned by his wife Corinna Schumacher at Andratx, Spain.

In November, Schumacher's wife Corinna Betsch told the press: “The decision to protect his privacy from the public has been taken in Michael's interest.

“We have made it very clear that something serious has happened.”
