Schumacher suffered a huge head injury in 2013 after he met a fatal accident while skiing during his holidays in the Alps. His family has been secretive about his day-to-day updates and kept him away from any media attention.

However, a few months ago, it was revealed that Schumacher might go through a stem cell surgery. But a source close to the family told that it was an unlikely treatment, for now at least, given the restrictions caused by the Coronavirus outbreak.

When asked whether Schumacher is the best ever F1 driver, Todt said, “I love Michael but it is impossible to say who is the best ever. There is Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna, and Michael. You can only think in terms of who is the best in a certain generation.”
