Nearly ten years after leaving his beloved sport, Michael Schumacher still enjoys watching Formula One races, according to former Ferrari CEO Jean Todt in his latest health update of 2022
The seven-time World Champion sustained a traumatic brain injury in a terrible skiing accident in the French Alps in 2013. Since the horrifying tragedy, his illness has been a closely-guarded secret because his wife Corinna prefers to care for her husband in seclusion at their Geneva, Switzerland, home. But several of his racing buddies have stayed in his close circle, including FIA President Jean Todt.
