Michael Schumacher's wife to sell family private jet
Corinna Schumacher to sell jet regularly used by husband Michael to attend racing events and family holidays "for obvious reasons" following his skiing accident, German media reports
Corinna Schumacher has decided to sell the private jet once regularly used by her now critically injured husband Michael as doctors attempt to get the Formula One driver fit enough to return to the family home in Switzerland, according to German media reports.
Schumacher 45, was transferred to a Swiss rehabilitation clinic in Lausanne in June after spending over five months at Grenoble university hospital where he was treated for the serious brain injury he suffered during a skiing accident in France last December.
Earlier this month the driver was reported to have emerged from a medically induced coma and to be able to communicate with his family by moving his eyelids. His wife Corinna told a German magazine that her husband was “getting better”. The Swiss media said it was hoped he could return home by the end of the month.
Germany’s mass circulation Bild newspaper reported on Friday that Corinna Schumacher had decided to sell the driver’s private jet, which the Formula One ace once used regularly to attend motor racing events and for family holidays with Corinna and their two children Gina- Maria, 17 and Mick, 15.
The aircraft is a grey Falcon 2000EX jet bearing his initials “MS “ on the tail. Bild said that at the peak of his motor racing career Schumacher flew the plane for an average of 400 hours every year. He was reported to have paid €25 million for the aircraft.
Bild said his wife had decided to offer the jet for sale for €20 million (£16m) and added: “ The reasons for the sale are obvious”.
The Schumacher family home lies 24 miles away from Lausanne. Corinna Schumacher is believed to have transformed part of the property into a treatment centre containing advanced medical equipment and accommodation for live-in carers in preparation for her husband’s return.
Schumacher is said to be in a state of paralysis but doctors hope to enable the driver to sit upright in a special wheelchair which he can control with his mouth within weeks, according to media reports.
However medical experts have cast doubt on any optimistic prognosis. The Zurich-based neurologist Dr Erich Riederer who has experience with coma patients has said that Schumacher is unlikely to make a full recovery. “He will remain an invalid all his life and will always remain dependent on the help of others,” he told the Swiss online news site 20 Minuten.
