Michael Schumacher's close friend and former Red Bull operations head, Richard Hopkins, has expressed grave concerns about the Formula 1 legend's health. Speaking to SPORTbible, Hopkins revealed that he hasn't received any updates on Schumacher's condition lately and believes it's unlikely the public will see him again. The seven-time world champion has been in a medically induced coma since a near-fatal ski accident in 2013. Since then, the Schumacher family has maintained a tight lid on his health, citing respect for their privacy. Hopkins understands this decision, having met Schumacher during his racing days and witnessing the family's dedication to keeping his condition private. In a recent interview, Hopkins stated, 'I don't think we'll see Michael again.' He emphasized that he's not part of the inner circle, unlike close friends like Jean Todt, Ross Brawn, and Gerhard Berger, who regularly visit Schumacher. The Schumacher family has faced significant challenges in protecting their privacy, including a malicious blackmail plot earlier this year. The family's efforts to safeguard their personal life have been led by Corinna Schumacher, Michael's wife, who has been instrumental in managing his care and advocating for his privacy. Hopkins' comments come as the Schumacher family continues to navigate the complexities of Michael's ongoing health struggles. While the exact nature of his condition remains unclear, one thing is certain: his family's tireless efforts to protect his privacy have been unwavering.
