Michael Schumacher pictures

[anonymous-user]

The first photograph of stricken Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher since his accident is being hawked around Europe for £1million.
An investigation is under way into who took the picture at the German driver's palatial home in Geneva, Switzerland and how they managed to smuggle it out under the nose of his manager and nursing staff.

The gentleman trying to sell the pictures is a friend "some friend"

Disappointed there was no pic,until I read OP.

So I will also go with disgraceful.

I was wondering if it was an official picture when first hearing about it but unfortunately not.

I have no idea why a "friend" would try and sell a picture knowing full well he would be exposed and the friendship lost.

Unfortunately even someone like Michael Schumacher is finding out who his real friends are.

I've been wondering how long it would take before something like this would occur. Like many it seems, I'm puzzled as to how the family (namely Mrs Schumacher) is handling the situation. They seem overly obsessed with hiding the true scenario. Yes, one can immediately argue privacy, and rightly so, but surely, if they handled things in a more pro active way , in the context of releasing periodically the status of the patient, and the longer term prognosis , then surely, this would help stem the avalanche of curiosity their secretive behaviour seems to actively help foster ?

All in all though, not a good situation.

I have thought the exact same regarding the family.

When you have made a lot of money while in the public eye it is only natural that that same public would want to have updates regarding the situation at hand.

It is a very fine line as no doubt if pictures were released some distasteful individuals would print tasteless meme's or something along that lines.

I am sure if Schumacher was looking well and like his old self the pictures would have been released well before now by the family.

Unfortunately secrecy will tend to allow people to make a quick buck if the opportunity arises.

Never had too much time for the chap after his stunt in the final race of 1994.

Found myself feeling irrationally sad when I hear what drivers of his era are doing now. Such a shame.

Cannot express how deeply flawed the character of this chance must be.

I am sure if you watch the clip again Hill could have waited and not dived alongside Michael when it was clear he was not going to make the pass.

If Hill had waited he would have won the Championship.

Error of judgement on Hill's part.

If you look over the incidents between Schumacher and Hill it is Hill who has take Michael out more.

The very best would notice that and wait

I disagree.

If you no longer go for a gap you are no longer a racing driver

For all Hill knew, that was his only chance to pass. He tried, and Schumacher intentionally hit him.

There was never going to be a gap. Not the first, or last, time that Damon made that kind of misjudgment.

I was lucky enough to meet Michael a few times when he was having his three years off and I can honestly say that off the track out of competition you could not meet a nicer guy with an immense amount of time for his fans.

On track he was ruthless, but I don't see Adelaide 1994 as anything other than instinctual. Jerez 1997 however was a different matter, but then it was against JV who is a bit of a tool so I can forgive him ;-)

I wish him all the best, but fear we may never see even a glimpse of the old Schuey again :-(
