Eddie Jordan on Michael Schumacher: “That love for him still lasts - he’s there but he’s not there”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher now is shiel🥂ded from the public glare by his family at their home in Switzerland, after a skiing accident nearly 10 years ago left him in a coma.
The legend was given his F1 debut by Jordan, for the team named after its owner, in 1991 before 🃏going on to set an all-time record seven world championships, which Lewis Hamilton has noꦅw equalled.
Jordan told about Schumacher’s son Mick: “It can't be൩ easy knowing that your father is not able to be part of the family, he's there buꦐt he's not there.”
Little is kno🌸wn about the health of the F1 icon aside from occasional updates from trusted c📖onfidantes.
Jordan revealed last year that he had been denied a chance to visit Schumacher because only “direct family” were allowed - since then, he claimed that then-Haas driver Mick had reache🐲d out to him.
Discussing Mick, Jordan has now🍃 said: “I have my own view that I don't want to make public but my guess is that Mick s🍰howed elating compassion and the way he spoke about his father when the season was not going particularly well for him.
“He's been dropped for somebody else, and that's a tough decision, he has another fight to come bac🌺k and to make his name, climb up that ladder again.
“I'm quite sure he♍ will do it. Maybe it was the right thing that happened, but it touched me be🔥cause I felt so much about Michael.
“I went out of my way to find him⛦, give him his first chance in Spa, didn't last very long but that love for him still lasts and will always do so while I'm able to draw breath.”
The first F1 car that Schumacher drove on his debut, for Jꦗordan's team, was recently sold ﷽at auction.
Jordan told an anecdote: “Well, there's a little story that I'm happy to share, and that is that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher isn't named after his dad lik💙e a lot o🥃f people seem to think.
“Mick Schumacher is named after a p🎃erson whose father, Michael, was in total awe of a sportsman who had won five world titles back to back with Honda and that is none other t⛦han Mick Doohan.
“As a result of that🦋, and as a mark of respect, Michael Schumacher called his son Mick. There's a lot going on there and the respect is huge.”
