Michael Schumacher’s official Instagram account has posted for the first time in five months after the F1 icon reportedly attended his daughter’s wedding.

The 55-year-old has lived a life shrouded in secrecy ever since his tragic skiing accident back in 2013.

Schumacher was on holiday with his family in the French Alps when he veered off course and struck his head on a rock.

Little is known about his condition today, with his family preferring to protect his privacy and keep any details about his life now to a minimum.

Recently, however, it was reported that Schumacher had attended the wedding of his daughter, Gina-Maria.

It has even been described as his first ‘public’ appearance since the devastating skiing accident 11 years ago.

Now, for the first time in five months, Schumacher’s official Instagram has posted.

They shared a throwback to the F1 legend celebrating his victory at the Japan Grand Prix back in 2000.

The upload was accompanied by a caption that read: “Exploding emotions.

“@f1 GP Japan, the first world championship title with @scuderiaferrari. #OTD 2000.”

The Instagram account is believed to be controlled by the Schumacher family, rather than Michael himself.

Fans have flooded the star with supportive messages following the post, with one user saying: “F1 for me is always Schumacher! Hopefully one day I get to see him again.”

A second said: “Keep fighting Michael we all love you!”

A third wrote: “Simply the best! I miss seeing you in F1!”

And another said: “The best memories of my childhood, simply legendary, I miss you, I hope one day I can see you again! #keepfightingmichael.”

Meanwhile, a top neurosurgeon recently opened up on Schumacher and claimed the F1 icon had likely been in the same condition for a decade.

Jussi Posti – head of the neurosurgery and traumatic brain injury department at Turku University Hospital in Finland – told Iltalehti: “If a hospital has been built in his house, with everything medicalised around him, it seems that he has been in hospital most of the time’.

“Based on the information available, I don’t think he leads a very active life.

“Everything points to him being unwell. As bedridden patients, most people become so frail and stiff that it is no longer possible to get them out of bed after so many years.”

Posti then added: “It suggests that he has probably been in the same condition for the last decade.

“I doubt that anything sudden has changed at this stage.

“Typically, patients recover what they can recover for up to two years, and then the level of recovery is usually set.”
