Although the friendship between a Frenchie and German native isn't the best there is due to, ahem ahem, historical reasons, the former Scuedia Ferrari big guy declared that Michael "can lead a relatively normal life again within a short period of time."
General manager of the Ferrari Formula 1 team from 1993 to 2007, Todt was the man that orchestrated the efforts of the Scuderia's engineering and race strategy team, as well as Michael's fulminating success and those seven drivers' championship titles.
Todt was also the man that asked the then double world champion to join the Scuderia at the end of the 1995 season. That basically sums up how deep of a connection there is between the French mastermind and the German racing talent. When Michael had his unfortunate ski accident, Todt was one of the first motorsport figures to speak publicly about Michael's terrible skiing accident from December 29th, 2013.
The 68-year-old French motorsport executive returns with a new statement regarding Michael, telling Hello Magazine that "we can say he can probably never drive a Formula 1 car again. But he is fighting. His condition improved, and what is just as important is the fact that he is now at home with his family. In the past weeks and months, he has made progress in relation to the severity of his injury. But a long and hard road is in front of him. Hopefully things will improve. His family is close to him."
This bit of Schumacher news comes roughly a month after the German driver's manager declared that his condition is table, but "the road ahead remains long and difficult." While Michael continues rehabilitation at his family's home in the town of Gland, Switzerland, another F1 driver is in a similar situation to the German's. Marussia's Jules Bianchi suffered a terrible accident at the Suzuka GP last weekend. Doctors operated him and now he's "in a critical but stable condition" in a hospital from Mie Prefecture, Japan.
