'Final Report On Schumacher's Health…': F1 Great's Lawyer Gives Insights

admin 0

It’s been more than a decade since Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher suffered a life-threatening injury while skiing in the French ski resort of Meribel. Schumacher, a seven time former world champion, suffered severe brain injuries during the accident. The 54-year-old has been residing privately in Switzerland, and details about his health have been kept confidential. He has not made any public appearance since the accident and there remains speculations about his health. Former world champions Sebastian Vettel, who close to Schumacher and his family, recently revealed that the F1 legend “is not doing well”.

Schumacher’s lawyer, Felix Damm, however, has revealed that the former F1 driver’s family has decided not to make his final health report public due to privacy concerns.

“It was always about protecting private things. We considered whether a final report about Michael’s health could be the right way to do this,: Damm told German media outlet LTO, as quoted by SI.com.

Damm also stated that Schumacher’s family would have come under pressure from the media to release timely health updates, had they released the final health report.

“But that wouldn’t have been the end of it and there would have had to be constantly updated ‘water level reports’ and it would not have been up to the family when the media interest in the story stopped.”

“They [the media] could pick up on such a report again and again and as ‘and what does it look like now?’ one, two, three months or years after the message,” he added. “If we then wanted to take action against this reporting, we would have to deal with the argument of voluntary self-disclosure,” he added.

According to report in German outlet BILD, Schumacher has been driven in a Mercedes AMG car to stimulate the brain with familiar sounds. This was done, according to the report, because the racing great spent over two decades in Formula One or in other classes.

The report adds that Michael Schumacher receives 24-hour care, with a private infirmary situated in his former office. 15 doctors and their assistants ensure his well-being.

Schumacher won seven F1 world titles, including five on a trot with Ferrari. He returned to the F1 racing in 2010 for three years with the Mercedes team. He was replaced by Lewis Hamilton in 2013. In 2021, Hamilton matched Schumacher’s record of seven world titles.

BJP yet to announce Legislative Party Leader, suspense continues


Hyderabad: The suspense and speculation is continuing over BJP’s choice of Legislative Party leader even 28 days after the assembly poll results.

The party was supposed to select the legislative party leader before the commencing of the assembly session, but due to difference of opinion among the party senior leaders and newly elected MLAs it kept on delaying. In fact, BJP is the only party which has so far not elected its legislative party leader in the State.

Even during union Minister Amit Shah’s visit to the State, the issue could not be resolved and the matter had to be deferred.

Going by the seniority, three-time Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh should have been the natural choice for the legislative party leader post, but the problem is that the party leadership is not in favour of making him floor leader as it is not sure about his ability to present the party’s stand on various issues.

Moreover, his poor command over Telugu language is also being seen as a hurdle in making him the leader. It is also learnt that the newly-elected MLAs are not in favour of making Raja Singh their leader.

It is learnt that the State leaders are in favour of making Nirmal MLA Aleti Maheshwar Reddy the legislative party leader. However, a section of the party leaders are backing Kamareddy MLA Katipalli Venkataramana Reddy.

With the State budget session likely to take place in February first week, the BJP leadership is making efforts to resolve the issue before it.

“In the operation that the boats of the Yemeni army carried out in the Red Sea today to seize a ship, 3 boats of the Yemeni army were destroyed,” the Yemeni military spokesman confirmed. 

“Targeting [the ship] operation was carried out after the ship’s crew refused to respond to warning calls from the Yemeni Navy,” he said.

“When the naval forces of Yemen were performing their official duties in ensuring security and stability and protecting navigation, and also were performing the humanitarian and moral duty declared by Yemen to prevent the entry of Israeli ships or ships that were heading towards the ports of Occupied Palestine; The American forces attacked three boats belonging to the Yemeni Navy, which resulted in the martyrdom of ten of our naval forces,” General Saree added.

The spokesman further warned against the grave consequences of joining the US, saying that any such dangerous behavior would have a major impact on everyone.
