.
But in good and bad times, the Schumacher clan was able to count on Jean Todt, faithful to the position.
“I must say that Jean is one of the few, recognizes Corinna Schumacher facing the journalist from Canal + Amandine Morhaïm.
I think what is beautiful for Michael is knowing that Jean is there for us in case of a problem.

Before continuing, on the evocation of the serious brain damage from which her husband would suffer: “He is different, but he is still there.
In my opinion, it makes us stronger.
We remain united, all together at home.

But also so that he feels the presence of his family and the bond that unites us.
No matter what, I will always do my best."
