The almost incandescent smile of F1 champion Michael Schumacher is something all Formula One fans would love to see again. However, according to motorsport expert Craig Scarborough's account, the former F1 driver's condition is too dire. In an interview with The Sun Scarborough stated what no F1 fan wanted to hear. "I spoke to someone who is very, very close to him and they just explained we're not going to hear any more from him."
Schumacher, though, as has been reported is currently residing in his retired holiday house in Majorca, Spain, where he is tended to by a team of up to 15 people.

The world needs to get used to never seeing Schumacher's smile again
Schumacher was known for his adept passion to sports, aside from his relentless mentality and unmatched talent in F1 racing, of course. But also for his smile, which fans got used to seeing with the German's impressively successful run of 7 world titles, 91 wins, 68 pole positions and 155 podium finishes.
"He's in a comfortable position as far as he can be with his state of health," Scarborough says, but the harsh reality is that that smile shall be seen no more by F1 fans the world-over, "the world needs to get used to not seeing Michael's beaming smile anymore."
For the British motorsport expert the impact his family has had on his well-being and the sheer will to do their absolute best for him is something highly commendable.
"I think a lot of people demand stuff from him and I think that's wrong. He is himself, and his family have a lot to contend with."
“He was a guy who enjoyed his personal time. He loved his family. He did lots of lovely things. He clearly liked a drink and he loved a big cigar. But he had lots of time to bring up his son," concluded Scarborough's account.
