Michael Schumacher’s close friend and former boss Jean Todt has given a rare update on the F1 legend’s condition after his horror skiing accident in 2013.

‘I see him regularly and with affection, him and his family.
‘Our bond goes beyond the past work. It is part of my life, which today is very far from Formula 1.’
The news comes after Schumacher reportedly made his first public appearance since the accident last year, when he attended his daughter Gina’s wedding.
Gina tied the knot with her partner Iain Bethke at the family’s luxury villa in Majorca, and it was claimed that Schumacher was there to witness the ceremony.
