Montezemolo: “Sad to see Schumacher like this”

It will soon be two years since the terrible accident that occurred in Schumacher on the snows of Meribel and the former President Ferrari Luca di Montezemolo he wanted to pay homage to his friend who was the protagonist of many victories with the Red.

"Michael it was fundamental for the Cavallino, for me and for my life. An extraordinary person who even in the hardest moments was able to be a team player – his words to the German RTL – It is therefore terrible to see him in the situation he is in now. In cases like this you never know what attitude to take. As for me, I try to remember the beautiful events that we were able to celebrate together. For the rest, I really admire the courage of the family who is continuing to help him and from the bottom of my heart I hope one day to hear good news."

Regarding the sporting advice that the seven-time world champion had given to the team, the current Alitalia manager said: "He was the first to appoint Hag. He told us that we should have taken him immediately because he was fast, smart and polite. At that time, however, they were looking for someone with good experience behind them and so we took Alonso. To date I believe that Sebastian has arrived at the most opportune moment and I can only wish him the best."
