After a serious head injury while skiing in the Alps in late 2013, Schumacher was transferred to home care after several hospitalizations and surgeries, during which he appeared to be trying to get at least partially back to normal life in collaboration with his family and team. medical.
However, any information about his state of health is unconfirmed speculation. Former pilot Corino’s wife imposed an embargo on news of her husband’s health.
Even Todt, who as an old close friend, was able to visit Schumacher in private even after his injury, was unwilling to divulge anything more specific.
“Just leave it alone and respect the wishes of Corina and the children,” 77-year-old Todt said in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “We all know that the accident had consequences,” he continued.
“And those who claim to know how Michael is are clueless. I visited it. His family is also my family,” he said firmly.
The only thing he has revealed about the 54-year-old former racer is his true nature. “For many, Michael was arrogant and unbearable. But this arrangement helped him hide his embarrassment. He was always very humble and questioned himself. He never, for example, blamed his team when his brakes failed at Silverstone,” he recalled, an illustrative example from the GP England, where Schumacher had a serious accident in 1999.
