Former F1 Ace Timo Glock Opens Up About Schumacher's Accident
It has been ten years since Michael Schumacher's ski crash, and his close friend and former F1 driver, Timo Glock, has revealed his thoughts on that fateful day. Glock admits that he never imagined the accident would be so tragic, leaving Schumacher's health hidden from the public eye.
Keeping Schumacher's Health Private
Glock, who is still in contact with the Schumacher family, commends them for their decision to keep Schumacher's life and health private. The 54-year-old racing legend has not been seen publicly since 2013 when he suffered a head injury that put him in a medically-induced coma for 250 days.
A Shocking News
Glock recalls the moment he first heard about Schumacher's accident. He was spending New Year's with a friend when they saw the news on TV. The news came as a huge shock to Glock, who always thought Schumacher would walk away from any situation. But sometimes, tragedy strikes unexpectedly.
What Could Have Been
Glock speculates on what Schumacher's life would be like today if he had fully recovered. He believes that Schumacher would have remained involved in Formula 1, possibly as a team principal. Glock praises Schumacher's drive and determination and thinks he would have excelled in that role.
Comparing Schumacher to Verstappen
Many have compared Max Verstappen's success to that of Schumacher's. However, Glock cautions against making direct comparisons, as they are drivers from different eras. He acknowledges Verstappen's impressive skills but believes each era produces its own dominant driver.
The Unbelievable Impressive Max
Glock expresses his admiration for Verstappen's performance this year. He highlights Verstappen's zero mistakes and the flawless teamwork and reliability of his racing team. Glock believes Verstappen's performance is at another level and is truly impressive.
The Secret of Schumacher's Health
Only a select few are allowed to visit Schumacher, and his wife Corinna decides who can see him. The family has chosen to maintain secrecy around Schumacher's health, and Glock respects their wishes. He assures the public that everything being done is for the good of Michael.
Could Schumacher Still Win Championships?
Glock believes that if Schumacher had not been injured, he would still be winning World Championships today. However, he envisions Schumacher achieving this success as a team principal rather than a driver, following in the footsteps of other successful drivers turned team bosses.
