Michael Schumacher continues to recover from the severe fall he suffered in 2013 while skiing in the Alps. The president of the International Automobile Federation, Jean Todt in an interview for the German newspaper ´Bild´ has spoken about the hours after the accident, and about the importance of Schumacher’s wife in his recovery.
Since the seven times world champion suffered an accident while skiing in the French Alps in 2013 the state of health of the ´Kaiser´ is unknown. Jean Todt built a friendship with the German driver when he decided to leave Ferrari in 2006, which has served to be a reliable source of information regarding the state of health of ´Schumi´.
