During his induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo opened up about his thoughts on Michael Schumacher's condition, Grand Prix reports.
Montezemolo humbly said in his acceptance speech, "I don't know if I would have received this award without him. It is dedicated to him, because he is trying to win his toughest race."
He went on to share how he has developed a strong friendship with the seven-time Formula One world champion, saying, "He was not only someone I worked with but above all a friend with whom I shared so much. To know that he now lies in bed for such a long time is very sad."
Inquisitr calls Schumacher the "most successful Formula One driver in the history of the sport." He has raced with Jordan, Benetton, Ferrari, Mercedes, and managed to emerge as the victor in most world championships. Most of his victories were recorded during his work with Montezemolo.
According to People, Schumacher was hospitalized after his December 29, 2013 skiing accident. He had severe head injuries after his helmet split and he crashed into huge rocks on a slope at the Meribel ski resort in the French alps.
A Grenoble hospital had to put him into a coma to decrease his brain's swelling. He was also operated to remove blood clots. Since then, very little information has been given to the public regarding the great racer's health condition. However, his family and manager, Sabine Kehm, have maintained that he is still in recovery and will "continue his long phase of rehabilitation."
Early April of last year, Kehm said in a statement that the racer has shown "moments of consciousness and awakening." Come June of 2014, Kehm released another statement, saying Schumacher has awakened from his coma and has finally left the French hospital that has treated him for some time.
Schumacher has earned the world's respect for his rather unique and sometimes "ruthless" driving skills, garnering him a total of 91 race wins. He left F1 racing in 2012, leaving the rest of the racing world an unmatched seven world titles to fill in.
