The former boss of Ferrari explained that he considers Schumacher not only as a friend but an important member of the Ferrari family. He says that it is difficult for him to separate Michael as a driver and as his good friend.
Back in April 2014, five months after his accident, news broke out that Michael Schumacher was showing moments of consciousness and was gradually withdrawn from the medically-induced coma.
Some three months later, Schumacher was finally moved from an intensive care unit to a rehabilitation ward.
Since then, Michael Schumacher has been continuing his extensive and costly medical rehabilitation at a custom-built and state-of-the-art suite in his Geneva home in Switzerland. He is reportedly getting round-the-clock care by 15 medical experts under the leadership of Professor Jean-Francois Payen.
Sometime in May, Sabine Kehm accepted a Nurburgring Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of Michael and during her acceptance speech, she said that the honor is an acknowledgment of Michael’s great will power, his motivation, his talent, his discipline, and his work ethic.
Schumacher has piled 91 Grand Prix victories and seven world championships in his career. It could have been more by this time if not for that unfortunate skiing accident in the French Alps.
Sabine added that she knows that everyone wanted Michael to be there to accept the award himself but that is obviously not possible.
