Nicolas Todt is the son of current FIA president, Jean Todt. The Todt family has been very close to the Schumacher family. Jean Todt recently honored Michael Schumacher with the FIA President’s Special Alward at the annual FIA motor sport award ceremony.
Nicolas was recently asked about his memories of Michael. “We were very close to Michael Schumacher, the golden person: I was 19 and he lent me his cars to go on vacation. I was privileged to know him so closely,” Nicolas recalled.
Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt
Jean Todt was a boss at Peugeot Sport and Scuderia Ferrari. He was involved with Ferrari from 1993 to 2009. He was at Ferrari when Michael Schumacher and the Maranello based team dominated the Sport.
Jean has always spoken very highly of Michael and their friendship. Schumacher was involved in an unfortunate accident in 2013, just after his retirement from Formula 1. The former world champion is being treated at his home.
Jean Todt awarded Michael with the FIA President Special Award this year. He pointed out that Micheal was always ready to work towards helping society.
The FIA president is usually discreet about Michael’s condition. However, he recently provided an update on Michael’s condition. He stated that Michael is being treated and will be able to return to normal life soon.
Jean Todt is also enthusiastic about Mick Schumacher’s promotion to Formula 1. Michael’s son, Mick Schumacher will join Haas F1 team next season alongside Nikita Mazepin. The young German has won the seat through impressive championship-winning performance in Formula 2.
However, Mick Schumacher comes to Formula 1 with a legacy to follow. His father and his uncle have also raced in Formula 1. It will be interesting to see whether the young German can live up to the family name or the grid will get the better of him.
