Michael Schumacher’s former Benetton team-mate has claimed the Formula One legend’s family are ‘waiting for science’ after his devastating skiing injury. Schumacher subsequently spent several months in a medically-induced coma at Grenoble Hospital, before being released into the care of his family the following year. Johnny Herbert spent two seasons alongside Schumacher at Benetton and offered his view on Schumacher’s current condition. Herbert went on to confirm that only a select few from the world of racing have been allowed to visit Schumacher, naming Ross Brawn and Jean Todt Gerhard Berger. The 59-year-old also spoke of some of his personal memories of his time working with the German, recalling Schumacher’s sense of humour off the track. Schumacher ultimately finished first in the 1995 Formula One World Championship, claiming the second of his seven world titles with Benetton triumphing with a 25-point lead in the constructors’ standings.
