Since the tragic accident in Meribel in December 2013, an almost impenetrable wall of silence has been built around Michael Schumacher .
At the request of the family, no official medical bulletins have ever been published and information on the former Ferrari driver's condition has always been minimal and carefully controlled.
Only a very limited circle of people has had access to the apartment where Schumacher has been receiving treatment for years.
Among them are historical names from the world of Formula 1, such as Jean Todt, Luca Badoer and his longtime manager, Sabine Kehm.
Recently, however, an unexpected name has entered this very exclusive list, creating an unusual connection between the world of Formula 1 and modern tennis.
It's about Laila Hasanovic, the Danish model and current partner of Jannik Sinner.
According to Daily Mail reports, Hasanovic is one of the few people in the world who knows the truth about Michael Schumacher's health condition.
Before her relationship with the Italian tennis champion, Laila had had a significant relationship with Mick Schumacher, the son of the Ferrari legend.
During that period, she managed to gain the full trust of the Schumacher family, especially Michael's wife, Corinna Schumacher.
This trust opened the doors to a very rare privilege: entry into the family's private home and a personal meeting with Michael Schumacher.
Although her relationship with Mick Schumacher has ended, Laila Hasanovic has continued to respect with absolute discretion the family's privacy and the secret entrusted to her, not revealing any details about the condition of the former seven-time Formula 1 world champion.
Another proof that, even after more than a decade, Michael Schumacher's name remains surrounded by mystery, respect and silence, as his family has always requested.
