Seven-time "Formula 1" champion Michael Schumacher has not appeared in public for more than 12 years after falling while skiing.
According to Lent.az, meanwhile, the Daily Mail, citing several sources, reported that the former racing driver is no longer bedridden. He is now able to sit in a wheelchair and move around his home with the help of medical staff.
Previously, media outlets claimed that Michael could only lie quietly and communicate with others through his eyes. However, several witnesses have stated that this is not the case.
"It is not possible to say exactly whether he understands everything, because he cannot say it. It seems that he is aware of some of what is happening around him, but probably not everything," - one source said.
The "Daily Mail" also notes that the former racing driver has not been seen since the accident on December 23, 2013.
