Seven years ago today, the sports world was shocked by news: Michael Schumacher had a serious skiing accident.
In the French town of Méribel, the Formula 1 record world champion fell and hit his head on a stone.
He suffers a severe traumatic brain injury and is still fighting his way back into his life.
For seven years, the family sealed off the health and rehabilitation status of the seven-time Formula 1 champion.
Only Fia President Jean Todt, who as the team boss at the time won all five Ferrari drivers' titles with him (2000 to 2004), visits Schumi often at his home in Gland / Switzerland.
The French are friends of the family.
Now the then Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo (73) also commented on Michael Schumacher: “I think very, very often of Michael.
All the years since the terrible accident happened.
Especially on these days, of course. "
"The times with Michael were special times"

The ex-president had a special relationship with his star driver: “I love his family.
His wife Corinna and the children Gina and Mick used to be at my home a lot.
I often pray for Michael. "
Ferrari has won 19 world championship titles (driver and designer) under the leadership of Luca di Montezemolo (from 1991 to 2014)!
With Niki Lauda, Kimi Räikkönen and Michael Schumacher: "The times with Michael were special times."
Montezemolo has not seen Schumacher since the accident.
"Michael is always on my mind, but I also have the utmost respect for the decisions his family makes." And with very few exceptions, they have decided against visits from previous companions and friends.
