It had been a long time since any news had filtered out on the former Formula 1 champion, Michael Schumacher, victim of a skiing accident in 2013, until the confidences of his friend Jean Todt.
Together, John Todt and Michael Schumacher broke many records, and their professional collaboration had quickly resulted in a deep friendship. While the 53-year-old Formula 1 legend no longer has a public life since his skiing accident in 2013, Jean Todt recently gave some news of his friend.
Jean Todt on Michael Schumacher “we watch Formula 1 races together”
Director of the Italian Ferrari team at the time, Jean Todt revealed in an interview on Wednesday July 20 with the German channel NTV, that he was still seeing the seven-time world champion and made a very moving revelation. “I don’t miss Michael, I can see thathe said, but of course what I miss is what we were doing together” before adding “It’s true that I watch F1 races with him.” This confirms that after having won the Grand Prix 91 times at the wheel of his Ferrari racing car,Michael Schumacher kept the passion for Formula 1despite the severe neurological damage caused by his skiing accident.
When delivering the State Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia to his wife Corinna and his daughter, representing the legendary champion, on Thursday, July 21, a standing ovation for Michael Schumacher moved the audience but also Jean Todt who was present. “If it was emotional for you, you can imagine how emotional it was for me. [de recevoir le prix]” did he react“Moving, but at the same time a great pride to be able to talk about Michael. You have people around you who are simply special. And in a way, Michael is also very special. Corinna, Mick and Gina also became special to me. They have all become family to me, to my wife and to my son.” When you have friends like that, life as complicated as it is, still remains a gift, it seems.
