Ralf Schumacher said that his brother Michael will not be able to live a full life
Ralf Schumacher, the younger brother of racing driver Michael Schumacher, spoke about the condition of the seven-time Formula 1 champion. His words are quoted by Bild.
Schumacher Jr. said that the accident has changed their family a lot, and he misses the old Michael. He noted that his brother would no longer be able to live a full life.
“Life is sometimes unfair. Michael was often lucky in life, but this tragic incident occurred. Fortunately, new opportunities in medicine make it possible to do something, but still everything is not the same as before,” said Schumacher.
