His son Mick also spoke about his dad in the documentary Being Michael Schumacher, saying: "I think dad and me, we would understand each other now in a different way, simply because we speak a similar language, the language of motorsport... I would give up everything just for that."
Michael’s former teammate, Luca Badoer, also explained Corinna’s decision to The Sun, saying: "Only a few people are allowed to visit. Corinna decides who is allowed to see him. The family wants to maintain a sort of secrecy about this and I respect their will. They do all this for the good of Michael."
However, the decision hasn’t been an entirely popular one, as Michael’s former manager Willi Weber has publicly shared his upset at being unable to visit him following the accident. He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "It was a huge pain for me.
"I tried hundreds of times to contact [his wife] Corinna and she didn't answer. I called Jean Todt to ask him if I should go to the hospital and he told me to wait – 'it’s too early'. I called the next day, and no one answered. I didn't expect behaviour like that and I'm still angry about it. They kept me out, telling me, 'It's too early', well, now it's too late. It's been nine years."
