It is nearly five years since the racing legend fell and hit his head on a skiing holiday in Meribel in the French Alps. The most successful Formula 1 driver in history slipped into a coma before two life-saving ops enabled him to be moved to Switzerland. His family has kept updates on his condition to a minimum but the Daily Mail claims he is not "bed-ridden nor is he existing on tubes". Schumacher is believed to be receiving nursing and therapy care at an estimated cost of more than £50,000 a week. He is also living with his close family in the main body of his mansion rather than an outbuilding that had reportedly been constructed as a medical facility. According to German magazine Bravo, Schumacher is to be moved to a clinic in Dallas, Texas. Director of the magazine Mark Weeks said: "We have a lot of experience with patients who are suffering this kind of trauma. "There is probably no clinic in Europe that treats as many cases as we do."
