Jean Todt Provides Health Update On Michael Schumacher After His Accident
Schumacher’s family has not been secretive of how he looks currently but his medical condition as well. There have hardly been any updates on the driver’s health over the time with even the recent Netflix documentary on him providing no insight into how he was at the moment.
However, there has finally been some insight into Schumacher’s plight with his close friend and one of the elusive people allowed to visit him, Jean Todt revealing how he was. Todt who visited him recently talked about Schumacher’s accident as he dwelled into how the driver was.
The FIA president and ex-Ferrari team principal had last visited Schumacher, the man he calls his second son on October 18.
“I can understand why his family and friends are protecting him because we should leave him in peace. Michael is fighting, he is fighting, and we can only hope that he will improve,” Todt said as he talked about Schumacher’s health.
‘I am happy that his son Mick is in Formula One. He is doing well. He could have a more competitive car but I am pleased he has this passion. I am happy that Gina-Maria has found her passion in horses,” he continued.
