This is disgusting...

It's a German magazine trying to boost sales.

I'm sure Corrina would not approve of this so-called type of journalism. She should sue the German tabloid.

 

Good. She should take those bastards for everything she can.

 

I am not quite sure Michael Schumacher's privacy following his accident has been handled wisely by his family.
A total information embargo is unrealistic to maintain in a media-oriented world which hates opacity in any field.
This pathetic episode, to put it mildly by Die Aktuel is the result of years of frustration by the newspapers of being denied access to any news about Schumacher that were allowed to some like Jean Todt but refused to others like Eddie Jordan, Willy Webber, etc ...
One day, inevitably a tabloid was bound to break the taboo and make a scoop out of a false story.
However degrading that looks, it could have been avoided had a minimum of information delicately been filtered over the years.

 

Good on her.

Garbage, total garbage.....

 

Before AI at least they had to invent something, now they even don´t bother.

 

I disagree 100%. MS's family has made a decision to NOT report/feed the creepy. That should be respected...they owe NO ONE anything.
This is as bad as the Kobe Byant photos...
Contrary to popular belief, information of a personal nature regarding someone is NOT owed to the general public.

 

Good to hear!

Die Aktuelle Editor fired for fake Schumacher interview.

 

however, who would buy an interview with an AI? Doesn't make any sense.

For me, that Netflix documentary was Michael's goodbye to everyone. I really doubt we will hear anything anymore, unless, his passing someday.

 

I imagine if we were to see a picture of him today, we would not recognize him at all, and it would be very sad to see.
Perhaps we should just remember the good we saw?

 

A lot of admirers including myself don’t want to see a traumatic picture of course.
We just would appreciate a short statement about his current health state.
Nothing more.

 

Agree, but I'll also respect with whatever the Schumacher family decides to do. My assumption seeing the lack of any updates whatsoever is that the situation is pretty dire, and this is not actually something we want to know.

Personally I hope he's just showing improvements.

 

Don't you think if there was ANY positive news we would hear it?

I don't think the family wants to get into scheduled, weekly updates that say (or don't say) the exact same thing every week.

 

Very true,
One only can hope ..

 

I definitely do not want to see that picture at all. It's good that the family is keeping close guard on this. I prefer to remember him at how i know him all my life, in a race suit, and winning a race.

However, i do agree somehow, with some post above. A simple update will not make any difference at this stage. My guess is they do not want Michael to be remembered this way.

 

You may disagree all you want, but the fact is that the world is totally media oriented.
The newspapers think they are entitled to obtain and print the stories they want; they respect nothing.
They will eavesdrop, hack communications, spy, bug your place, pay informers and do what ever it takes to get the info they want.
It doesn't matter for them who is affected, celebrities, royalties, politicians or innocents members of the public.
They don't care if you take them to court; the trial will give them more publicity !
And if they don't obtain what they want, they will make it up and tell the story that suit them !
That's why I said the Schumacher's family handled it very badly by completely refusing to talk, for years.
A communication adviser would have shown them how to keep control of the situation by filtering information.
A total news embargo is like a red rag for the media; in this case a journo just invented an interview.
Whatever the outrage the Schumachers feel, they could have avoided that situation.

 

I agree with this.

As context, when my grandfather died, my father flew home to Dublin. After returning, we used to play golf together frequently, and out on the course one day Dad said he wished he had never seen his father lying in the coffin.

He said that since then, whenever he remembered his dad, that was the only image he had, not the strong, laughing man he knew.

When dad died some years later, I refused to see him in his coffin. I still remember my dad as outgoing, laughing, singing in the kitchen as he danced with my mom. That’s how I wanted to remember him.

Inevitably, we will lose Micheal at some point. Perhaps soon. I know how I prefer to remember him, so I really do not want to see photos of him as he is now thank you.

 

I'm an Admin in a Facebook F1 group, I had to stop people from posting all the
new Senna threads on Monday, they overwhelmed everything.
Half of our members are in Europe/Brazil...

 

The only comment I can make is that Michael and his family should be left alone to deal with his injury and condition and future. It is none of our business.
