“It’s been nearly 10 years now and Corinna has not been able to go to a party, to lunch or this or that, she’s like a prisoner because everyone would want to talk to her about Michael when she doesn’t need reminding of it every minute.”
Despite being close with Schumacher during his F1 days, Jordan has revealed that he is not one of the extremely close circle of friends and family allowed to visit the 55-year-old.
“I know her very well and a long time before Michael Schumacher,” Jordan said. “She’s a lovely girl and I knew her when she married Michael so there is a long history of good relations.
“I made an effort to go see Michael in the early days and Corinna refused, and rightfully so because too many people wanted to go see him.”

Corinna prefers to keep Schumacher’s condition private, telling the documentary Being Michael Schumacher: “We are getting on with our lives: ‘private is private’ as he always said. It’s very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible. Michael always protected us, now we are protecting Michael.”

According to the , the claim was widely denied by the Schumacher family, his manager, and a number of other F1 sources.
