MICHAEL Schumacher's family are continuing to fight as the F1 champion continues recover from his horror ski crash, said his close pal Jean Todt.
Todt – who was the boss at Ferrari during the F1 driver's dominance with the team – is one of the only people still allowed to see Schumacher.
Michael's health remains shrouded in mystery as he has not been seen or heard from since an accident while skiing in the Alps in December 2013.
The 53-year-old racer is feared to be never be the same again after suffering a brain injury which left him in a medically induced coma for six months.
And since being released home, there have been very few concrete updates on his health.
But his pal Todt, 76, has offered a few brief glimpse into Schuey's life as he revealed he still sees the stricken F1 legend "three times a week".
