Formula One legend Michael Schumacher is paralysed and in a
wheelchair, according to former racing driver Philippe Streiff.
The 45-year-old seven-time champion cannot speak and has
memory problems.
Streiff, who is himself wheelchair-bound since a crash in Brazil
during pre-season tests in 1989 left him a quadriplegic, was speaking on French
radio.
The Frenchman, who is a good friend of Schumacher's, said:
'He is getting better but everything is relative.
'It's very difficult. He can't speak. Like me, he is in a
wheelchair paralysed. He has memory problems and speech problems.'
Streiff, 59, was seen visiting Schumacher when the German
was in intensive care in Grenoble Hospital, France.
Schumacher, was transferred to Lausanne Hospital,
Switzerland, in June and he is now being cared for at his home on the shores of
Lake Geneva.
Official news on Schumacher, who suffered a freak ski
accident in the French Alps on December 29 last year, which left him brain
damaged and fighting for his life, have been scant.
