Todt was speaking after visiting Schumacher at the seven-times Formula One world champion’s home in Switzerland. Schumacher is recovering from life-threatening head injuries suffered in a skiing accident in December.
“We must assume that Schumacher can lead a relatively normal life again within a short period of time,” Todt told the broadcaster RTL. “We can say he can probably never drive a Formula One car again. But he is fighting. “He will probably no longer be able to drive in Formula One. Voilà, that’s what we can say,” Todt told the broadcaster RTL. When asked if Schumacher would be able to live a normal life again Todt said “we have to hope for that”.
“His condition improved, and what is just as important is the fact that he is now at home with his family.” Todt added that Schumacher should be left to recover in private. “I believe that what is important is that he is living, that his family is close to him, that we really believe that things will improve,” he said. “He needs time and then to be left in peace.”
Schumacher left hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, in September. He hit his head on a rock while skiing off-piste in France and was placed in a medically induced coma to help reduce swelling of his brain.Schumacher left hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, in September.
