Michael Schumacher's official Instagram account has posted for the first time in five months after the F1 icon reportedly attended his daughter's wedding.
The 55-year-old has lived a life shrouded in secrecy ever since his tragic skiing accident back in 2013.
Schumacher was on holiday with his family in the French Alps when he veered off course and struck his head on a rock.
Little is known about his condition today, with his family preferring to protect his privacy and keep any details about his life now to a minimum.

Jussi Posti - head of the neurosurgery and traumatic brain injury department at Turku University Hospital in Finland - told Iltalehti: "If a hospital has been built in his house, with everything medicalised around him, it seems that he has been in hospital most of the time'.
"Based on the information available, I don't think he leads a very active life.
"Everything points to him being unwell. As bedridden patients, most people become so frail and stiff that it is no longer possible to get them out of bed after so many years."
Posti then added: "It suggests that he has probably been in the same condition for the last decade.

"Typically, patients recover what they can recover for up to two years, and then the level of recovery is usually set."
