In the dearth of any health updates from his family, the latest one comes from Michael Schumacher’s former Ferrari boss Jean Todt. He said, “I can only say that his family is taking good care of him and he continues to fight. His family is fighting just as much and of course, our friendship cannot be the same as it once was. Just because there’s no longer the same communication as before.”
Not only this, but Todt also revealed that Schumacher was making “good progress” and even watched an F1 race together! “I’m always careful with such statements, but it’s true. I saw the race together with Michael Schumacher at his home in Switzerland.”
