A decade on from the skiing accident which resulted in life-changing injuries, the achievements of the mighty 🦂Schumacher are still legendary in F1.

Tost, who retired as AlphaTauri team p🌳rincipal at the end of last season to bring the curtain down on his own long F1 career, knew Schumacꦏher from the earliest days of the driver’s journey.

Tost was the ♒team manager of Willi Weber’s Formula 3 team which Schumacher drove for in 1989, and watched the driver go on to claim a record seveജn F1 titles.

T✃ost told the reason for Schumacher’s brilliance: “Despite all th♌e talent and vehicle control – in the end, champions are champions because they have the will to keep improving .

“And this will is fed by the head.

“This very characteristic was extr🍌emely pronounced in Michael. 

“This also meant that if he was down, he would quickly get back u🧔p and come back even stronger.”

Tost r🐲emembered hearing about Schumacher’s skiing accident in December 2013. Initially, he was not worried about his friend, until news of his condition emerged.

“I just thought: ‘How💫 impꦯortant must Michael be if a fall on skis is worth reporting?’

“I wasn’t worried because I often went skiing with M🦩ichael. 

“He was a very ♓good skier who didn't take any risks. 

“When I realised the impact of the accide♑nt, I couldn't believe it. I was stunned and shocked.

𒅌“I miss him, not only as one of the best racing drivers of all time, but especially as a person.

“You could always talk to him openly. He never pretended, always said exactly wh🎃at he thought.

“There was no politics or intrigue with him.”

Brother Ralf Schumacher added: “It was surreal.

“I have never experienced something like that.

“That's why the faღmily quickly decided that Michael's health wou𝓰ld be declared a private matter from now on. That hasn’t changed to this day.”
