Todt visits Schumacher and expresses his hope

“He’s fighting,” the 74-year-old Frenchman, who has been a good friend of the Formula 1 record world champion and his family since their time together at Ferrari, told the British newspaper Daily Mail (Sunday). “I hope the world will be able to see him again. He and his family are working towards that.” Todt said he visited Schumacher at his adopted Swiss residence on Lake Geneva last week. He is one of the few who have access to the now 51-year-old, who has lived completely isolated from the public since his skiing accident in the French Alps at the end of 2013. Schumacher suffered a severe traumatic brain injury at the time. After a day-long battle for survival and weeks in a coma, he remains in rehabilitation. There are no details about his condition. Todt also adheres to the family's guidelines, which in this context always refers to the father of two's privacy. Sport takes a back seat The fact that Schumacher's records, which were held to be valid forever, are gradually being erased by the records of his successor at Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton, is not so important for Todt. “Does it matter whether Lewis won more after an accident like Michael’s?” asked Todt, who has been president of the International Automobile Federation since 2009. It is also impossible to say who the best driver ever is. Schumacher won a total of seven world titles and 91 races in his career. During his time at Ferrari, Todt was team boss of the Scuderia. During that time, Schumacher won the world title five times in a row (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004). Schumacher celebrated his first two World Cup triumphs with Benetton in 1994 and 1995.
