F1 Legend Michael Schumacher Makes First Public Appearance in 11 Years at Daughter's Wedding, Say Reports

However, reports in European media said that Schumacher could have been in attendance for his daughter's wedding in Mallorca, Spain, making this the first time that the Ferrari great made a public appearance in over a decade. According to German newspaper Bild, Schumacher was "quite possibly" present at the family's villa to bless the union of his daughter Gina-Maria and Iain Bethke. However, it's unlikely he would have appeared at the estate’s sprawling garden where guests apart from close family members were present.

It is further reported that the guests were asked to submit their phones so that photos may not be leaked of the event, according to multiple reports. Despite this, photos of the gathering in the garden were leaked in the media and while Schumacher's brother, former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher, could be seen among the guests, Michael himself was absent.

While the family has guarded any kind of news of Schumacher, there have been some leaks and even a few on-record statements about the former Benetton, Ferrari and Mercedes driver. Over the years, news that has come about Schumacher's health has stated that he is paralysed and in a wheelchair, cannot speak and has memory problems. Former F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, who is closer to Schumacher and the family, had revealed that he was "not doing well".
