Schumacher friend Todt: “Fights every day”

He sometimes watches Formula 1 races on television with Schumacher, FIA President Todt told the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica : “We are in daily contact with Michael and his family.” According to Todt, there is no news about the state of health of the record world champion, who has not appeared in public since his fatal skiing accident in December 2013.

“Michael fights to improve every day and we have to support him in this fight. We also have to support his wife Corinna, a wonderful person who looks after Michael and the children," said the 73-year-old Frenchman, who was team boss of the Scuderia during Schumacher's five world championship titles with Ferrari.

Todt praised the Schumacher family, who did an exemplary job of protecting the privacy of their husband and father: “We all respect Michael’s wishes. He never spoke about himself, he never showed photos of his children." It is solely the family's decision "what they want to say or don't want to say." Praise for Mick Schumacher Todt had special praise for Michael Schumacher's son Mick, who is driving in Formula 2 this season. The 20-year-old is “intelligent, well-mannered, and he doesn’t put himself in the foreground.” This is solely thanks to his parents, “who never pushed him into the spotlight. “His family name is of course a certain pressure, but with a helmet on his head he is a driver like everyone else,” said Todt.
