As Michael Schumacher makes progress recovering from his head injuries sustained from a skiing accident, the racing legend has well wishers for his full recovery from all over the world. His unlikely, bigwig backgammon partner however, has refrained from visiting the racing legend as he continues his recovery at his home in Switzerland.
The 2013 year-end news of Schumacher's skiing accident in Meribel left the public in shock and in prayers. Formula One Racing legend Michael Schumacher was skiing at the French Alps with his family when he fell and hit his head on a rock and left him with serious head injuries. The legend sustained serious head trauma 17 months ago and albeit costly, has since been reported to be making good progress on his recovery.
Media has been kept away from the private affairs of the Schumachers most especially surrounding the racing legend's accident but have been reported to be much improved. Michael Schumacher representative Sabine Kehn says the 47 year old racer is well into good albeit slow progress with his recovery considering Schumacher's severe head injuries.
Formula One Group Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone explains why he chooses to keep from visiting the F1 legend on his road to recovery in an interview with F1 Racing magazine in which fans all over the world supplied the questions. The unlikely pair was reported to have spent race weekends playing backgammon in Bernie's motorhome. The 84-year-old powerhouse tycoon simply choose to remember Schumi "as he was."
"I don't want to see Michael like that. I remember Michael as he was. That is how I want to see Michael. If he comes back, that is how I want Michael to be."
While the F1 Racing Magazine interview spans a wide range of fan questions from his influences to his regrets while running Formula One, the simple answer offers a rare glimpse of emotion behind the business magnate's powerful countenance.
