Michael Schumacher's official accounts have posted for the first time after he made his first public appearance since suffering life-threatening injuries while skiing in 2013.
Since the incident in the French Alps, the details around the Formula 1 legend's condition have been kept extremely private by his family for obvious reasons.
However, there has been a significant update in recent weeks after it was confirmed the 55-year-old was reportedly seen attending the wedding of his daughter Gina-Maria and new husband Iain Bethke last month.

The 27-year-old married her partner at the family's villa in Majorca, with only select guests allowed to attend out of respect for Schumacher.
Guests also reportedly had to abide by the strict rule of handing over their mobile phones to the property's security.
This was in order to ensure that no images of the property could be taken and then potentially leaked to the press. Schumacher, nor his location, have been pictured since his accident.
Due to his incredible legacy and fanbase, Schumacher still has social media accounts such as X and Instagram but posts are extremely infrequent for obvious reasons.

However, the accounts have made their first post since back in May as they paid tribute to Schumacher's famous first championship with Ferrari back in 2000.
The post read: "Exploding emotions. F1 GP Japan, first world championship title with Scuderia Ferrari, #OTD in 2000."
Updates on Schumacher's condition are extremely rare, but his former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt, provided more information on the German last year.

Speaking to French outlet L'Equipe in December last year, Todt said: "Michael is here, so I don't miss him.
"[But he] is simply not the Michael he used to be. He is different, and is wonderfully guided by his wife and children who protect him.
"His life is different now, and I have the privilege of sharing moments with him. That's all there is to say."

Schumacher ended his F1 career with a record seven world championships, a feat that would later be equaled by Lewis Hamilton in 2020.
The seven-time champ boasts the most wins for the famous Italian manufacturer with 72 Grand Prix wins, and has the second-most total wins of all time with 91, behind Lewis Hamilton.
