“He would always have been in the paddock”, Michael Schumacher turns 55

Last December 29 marked the tenth anniversary of Michael Schumacher's skiing accident. The Formula 1 legend celebrates his 55th birthday this Wednesday. In which state ? Hard to say. Since his head violently hit a rock in an off-piste area of ​​the Méribel resort, heavily damaging his brain, the German's family has kept his state of health a secret.

To fans, friends and admirers, the news only comes in trickles. The driver with 91 Grand Prix victories is “different, but he is there”, confided his wife Corinna in a Netflix documentary in 2021, one of his rare speaking engagements. “He’s not the Michael from before. He is different and is magnificently supported by his wife and children who protect him,” Jean Todt, who managed Schumacher at Ferrari between 1996 and 2006 and is one of the rare people authorized to go to his bedside, explained to L’Equipe. .

At 55, what would Michael Schumacher's life be like if it hadn't been for the accident? Former German Formula 1 driver Timo Glock, a great admirer of his illustrious predecessor, assures Bettingsites that he “would always have been in the paddock”, with the aim of “working for the sport he lived for”. And the former Toyota driver believes that he would not have been a commentator, but rather a team director. “Maybe not early in retirement, maybe later. But he certainly would have been a good person in this position because he knows exactly what he needs.”
