Michael Schumacher may have regained consciousness.

Former racing driver Ralf Schumacher revealed that recent medical advances may have saved his brother, F1 legend Michael Schumacher, from a coma following an accident 10 years ago.

"I remember Michael from the past. Life is sometimes unfair. Michael had many lucky moments in his life, but then a terrible accident happened. Fortunately, modern medicine was able to do something to bring him back to life," Ralf Schumacher said in a recent interview with Bild .

Michael Schumacher, born in 1969, is a legendary Formula 1 driver who held the record for seven world championship titles. In 2013, a year after retiring, Schumacher was involved in a skiing accident in France. He suffered a brain injury and has been unconscious ever since. Currently, the former German driver is receiving intensive care at home. His family still hopes to help him regain consciousness, but they provide little information about the legend's condition.

Ralf, born in 1975, also raced in Formula 1 from 1997 to 2007. He won six races, with his highlight being a fourth-place finish in the 2001 season.

"Michael wasn't just my brother. When I was little, he was like a coach, a mentor. Michael practically taught me everything about racing. Even though we were born seven years apart, Michael was always close to me. We raced together, practiced maneuvers and everything related to the sport," Ralf recalled.

Ralf considers himself fortunate to have been mentored by his brother, whom he considers the greatest racer of his time. When asked how the Schumacher family coped with Michael's accident, Ralf replied: "It was a big experience for me, but of course, the children were affected even more. The day Michael had the accident was very unlucky. This twist of fate changed our family."

December 29, 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of Michael Schumacher's accident. His memory lives on in the hearts of many colleagues and friends. Damon Hill, a former rival of Schumacher on the racetrack, believes that the tragedy reminds everyone to cherish each day of their lives and be grateful for the luck that comes their way. "It was a terrible accident. You wouldn't want anyone to go through that. I think the Schumacher family has suffered a great deal," Hill said.
