Schumacher's wife issues rare message

Ahead of the sixth anniversary of Michael Schumacher's tragic accident, the F1 legend's wife has given a philosophical response to questions about her husband's health.

Schumacher's life changed forever when he suffered massive head injuries during a skiing trip in 2014.

The seven-time world champion hasn't been seen publicly since the incident with his long recovery conducted with the utmost privacy.

While he's been missing from the public eye, the German's standing with fans across the world has remained as strong as ever.

The Kerpen fan club in Germany is set to launch a new "KeepFightingMichael" social media page next week, in their bid to keep the memory of the racing icon alive.

Corinna Schumacher responded to the "KeepFightingMichael" social media page, giving her husband's supporters a sense of optimism ahead of the six-year anniversary of the accident.

"Big things start with small steps. Many small particles can form a huge mosaic," Corinna reportedly told fans.

"Together you are stronger, and that is exactly how combined forces of the KeepFighting movement make it easier to encourage others."

The chairman of the fan club, Reiner Ferling, expressed hope the F1 great will be able to be seen in public again.

"Unfortunately, the time has come again, the sixth anniversary of Michael's accident is coming around," Ferling said.

"Six years full of hope that Michael will one day go out in public again.
"We know that Michael is in good hands, that he gets love, security and confidence. Michael can count himself lucky to have such a strong family behind him.

"As a fan club, we will provide all kinds of support that we can provide."
Schumacher's wife has protected the star from the media when providing updates on her husband's recovery but did provide some insight in a recent interview.

Speaking to She's Mercedes magazine, Corinna said her husband "is in the best of hands right now.

"We are doing everything we can to help him. Try to understand that we follow Michael's desire to keep his health a secret."

Schumacher's former manager Willi Weber expressed frustration with the amount of information the family has provided about his former client's condition.

Weber told Munich newspaper TZ his requests to visit him have been knocked back by the Schumacher family.

"I know that Michael has been hit hard, but unfortunately I do not know what progress he makes," Weber said on German documentary The Michael Schumacher Tale RTL special.

"I'd like to know how he's doing and shake hands or stroke his face.
"But unfortunately, this is rejected by Corinna.

"She's probably afraid that I'll see right away what's going on and make the truth public."

Earlier this month, Schumacher's doctor revealed of the the motorsport great still has some way to go with his treatment.

Jean-Francois Payen told German publication In Touch: "There is a one-to-three year plan for the regeneration period.

"I still visit him occasionally and talk to the family about any progress I see."
Payen was the first to report Schumacher came out of his coma five years ago and paid tribute to his wife's strength.

"She sees things very clearly and will do anything to make her husband's condition better."
