Ex-Ferrari team boss Jean Todt is one of the few people who still have direct contact with Formula 1 record world champion Michael Schumacher, who was involved in a serious skiing accident in 2013. Now the Frenchman explained: Anyone who claims to know anything about the state of health of Germans is lying.
Few people know how Michael Schumacher is doing a little more than nine years after his devastating skiing accident. The family of the Formula 1 record world champion still does not comment on the health of the 54-year-old. However, public interest is still high.
One of the few who still have direct access to the ex-driver is Jean Todt, who was once Schumi’s boss at Scuderia Ferrari. In an interview with the Italian newspaper “Corriere della Sera”, the 77-year-old asked once again to finally let the topic rest.
“Let’s take it easy and respect the wishes of Corinna and the children,” said Todt, who added: “We know that the accident had consequences.” The Frenchman did not comment further on the condition of the record world champion. But the former team boss spoke to the people who spoke several times about Schumacher’s health in the past.
“Those who claim to know something don’t know anything,” rumbled Todt, who, according to his own statement, “always visits” Michael Schumacher. The family of the seven-time Formula 1 champion is also his family, emphasized the 77-year-old, who then praised Schumacher as a person.
“Michael came across as arrogant and obnoxious to many but that attitude helped him to cover up his shyness. He was very humble and always questioned himself. He never blamed the team for example when his brakes failed at Silverstone.” , said Todt, referring to the German’s serious accident at the 1999 British Grand Prix.
