Former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo says the latest news about the health of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher “is not good”.
It is more than two years since Schumacher sustained severe brain injuries following a skiing accident in the French Alps.
“I have news and unfortunately it is not good,” Montezemolo told reporters but did not elaborate.
“Life is strange. He was a fantastic driver and only had one accident with Ferrari in 1999.”
Last October, FIA president and close family friend Jean Todt said Schumacher “is still fighting”.
The German spent a number of months in intensive care in Grenoble hospital before regaining consciousness.
He was then moved to a hospital closer to home in Lausanne before returning home in early September 2014.
Since then, there has been little information revealed about the 46-year-old and his recovery.
The last official statement from Schumacher’s management came in September 2014and said the German faces a “long and difficult road ahead”.
