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

Tost, who retired as AlphaTauri tea🌳m principal at the end of last season to bring the curtain down on his own long F1 career, knew Schumacher from the earliest days 🐻of the driver’s journey.

🔥Tost was the team manager of Willi Weber’s Formula 3 team which Schumacher dro🥃ve for in 1989, and watched the driver go on to claim a record seven F1 titles.

Tost ♎told the reason 💛for Schumacher’s brilliance: “Despite all the 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 extremely pron✤ounced in Michael. 

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

Tost remembereജd hearing about Schumacher’s skiing accident in December 2013. Initially, he was not worried ab💛out his friend, until news of his condition emerged.

“I just thought: ‘How important must Michael be if a fall on skis is worth re🌼ౠporting?’

“I 🔴wasn’t wo🥂rried because I often went skiing with Michael. 

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

“When I realised the impact of the accident, I couldn't bel🦹ieve it. I was stunned and shocked.

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

“You cou🥂ld always talk to him openly. He never pretended, always said exactly what 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 family quickly decided that Michaelꦚ's h♐ealth would be declared a private matter from now on. That hasn’t changed to this day.”
