The ex-leader of Ferrari, Jean Todt, has once more talked about his dear comrade Michael Schumacher. It has been approximately a decade since the legendary F1 driver was last sighted in public.

In December of 2013, Schumacher experienced a serious injury to his head while skiing in Meribel, France.

For the past ten years, the well-known champion of words has been keeping his health in secret. His spouse, Corinna, has been persistent in preserving his privacy as he gradually recuperates.

Todt was closely involved with Schumacher during his incredible five consecutive championship wins between 2000 and 2004. He has been consistently providing updates on the German driver's condition, and has even mentioned that he has watched Formula 1 races together with Schumacher. Recently, Todt spoke once again about the iconic Ferrari driver.

Todt stated this week to L'Equipe that Michael's presence was comforting and reassuring, ensuring that he did not feel his absence.

However, the Michael we see now is no longer the same as before. He has undergone a change and is now being wonderfully supported by his wife and children who take care of him.

His current lifestyle has changed and I have been lucky enough to experience events with him. There isn't much more to add.

It's a sad reality that a decade ago, Michael faced an unfortunate fate. As a result, he's not quite the same person as the one we remembered from his time in Formula 1.

Germany has recently launched a fresh documentary series called Being Michael Schumacher, featuring significant inputs from Mick, his son, Lewis Hamilton, and Fernando Alonso. Hamilton expressed his view that Schumacher was just a "complete and exceptional racer."

Jean Todt, who is on the left side, has shared information regarding Michael Schumacher's condition after his accident, which occurred almost a decade ago.

The section of the blog will be paraphrased in simplified English, using different vocabulary and syntax: The AFP via Getty Images media outlet has provided a photograph to accompany this blog post.

In October, Felix Damm, the lawyer representing the family, disclosed the reason for not releasing a conclusive report on the health of the individual who is 54 years old.

In an interview with the German publication LTO, Damm stated that their main goal was to safeguard confidential information. They deliberated whether creating a conclusive document about Michael's well-being would be the best approach for this.

However, it wouldn't be over yet and the family would need to keep providing regular updates about the water level. They wouldn't have control over when the media loses interest in the story.

Todt and the Schumacher family have a strong bond. He mentioned in the past year that there have been instances where he has met with the German three times a week. Todt also assured the public that Michael Schumacher is under the care of well-meaning individuals who have genuine care for him.

Only last July, Todt mentioned that he still views F1 races together with Schumacher, regardless of the fact that nobody knows about Schumacher's health condition.

Mick Schumacher, the son of Schumacher, was not able to keep his F1 racing position at Haas in the previous year. Currently, he holds the position of a backup driver at Mercedes, where his father was also part of the driving team from 2010 to 2012.

Corinna, the wife of Schumacher, has been adamant about maintaining her husband's privacy.

The documentary Schumacher, which was shown on Netflix in 2021, features Corinna discussing how her family has coped with the circumstances and have managed to move forward with their lives.

Corinna expressed, "Michael may be different, but his presence brings us strength."

We are a united family and cohabit under the same roof. We regularly engage in therapy sessions to support Michael's progress and ensure his wellbeing. Our ultimate goal is to strengthen our family bond and make Michael feel like an integral part of our kinship. I pledge to go above and beyond to assist him, and my family shares the same devotion.

As a family, we are endeavoring to continue living the way Michael preferred and continues to prefer. Our lives are moving forward, and we are preserving our privacy just as he always emphasized.

Maintaining Michael's privacy is of utmost importance to me. He has always shielded us, and it's our turn to return the favor by respecting his privacy.

Hamilton and Schumacher currently share the record for the most number of Formula 1 world titles, standing at a grand total of seven championships each.
