"I don't miss Michael. I c𒆙an see him,” ex-Ferrari boss Todt said to German TV channel RTL. 

“But of course,ཧ what I miss is what we used to do together.

"Yes it's true - I watch the races with Michael."

“Sometimes success and money changes you. But Michael has never c🌞hanged. He's so🙈 strong.”

Schumacher won seven F1 cඣham♏pionships including five in a row alongside Todt at Ferrari.

He is now 53, living in Switzerland with his family, and his son Mick races in F1 for 𝔍Haas.

Mick had come under increasing pressure this season unti𒀰l earning his first points at Silverstone, and following it a week later by claiming more in Austria.

"I was so happy wh🅷en he finished in 𓃲the points in the last two races," added Todt. 

"There has been a lot of unfa🦩ir pressure 𝓡on him. 

“What I really wish for him is the chan𒐪ce to drive the best car. Then he will be able to win races and titles."

The legend’s former manager Willi Weber saidꦏ to Gazzetta dello Sportဣ: "It was a huge pain for me.

"I tried hundreds of times to contact [his wife] Corinna and she d😼idn’t answer. I called Jean Todt to ask him if I should go to the hospital and he told me to wait – it’s too early.

"I called the next day and no one answered. I didn’t expect behaviour like that and I’m still angry about it. They kept me out, telling me it’s too ea🍬rly, well now it’s too late. It’s been nine years. Maybe they should just say it the way it is.

"I could understand the situation initially as I always did everyth🌄ing I could for Michael to protect his private life. But since then we have only heard lies from them. Years after the accident, I said to myself to just look out for the family as I couldn’t change things. He was like a son to me. Even today it hurts me to talk about it."
