Michael Schumacher will be the subject of a landmark five-part documentary released later this year. The seven-time F1 world champion has completely withdrawn from the public eye since suffering life-changing injuries in a skiing accident back in 2013.<\/p>\n
Schumacher is considered by many to be the greatest F1 driver of all time. The German won two Drivers’ Championships with Benetton in the 1990s and added five more to his tally – won in successive seasons – with Ferrari between 2000 and 2004.<\/p>\n
The 91-time Grand Prix winner took a four-year absence from the sport, but came back for three more seasons with Mercedes during the twilight of his career. Just a year after retiring, Schumacher hit his head on a rock while skiing with his family, and despite wearing a helmet, the injuries saw him placed into a medically-induced coma.<\/p>\n
Schumacher was later released from hospital to continue his recovery at home in Lake Geneva, where he is cared for by specialists and his wife Corinna to this day.<\/p>\n
