Flavio Briatore, former Formula 1 team principal, opened up about the ongoing efforts by Corinna Schumacher to safeguard the legacy of her husband, Michael Schumacher, the seven-time world champion.
Speaking at the F1: The Movie premiere, Briatore shared an emotional reflection:
"If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a victory. I prefer to remember him like that rather than him just lying on a bed." This poignant statement underscores the private and quiet battle the Schumacher family faces in preserving Michael’s dignity.
Briatore also confirmed that he remains in contact with Corinna Schumacher, who continues to shield Michael’s legacy from public scrutiny, emphasizing the family's desire for privacy amid ongoing health challenges.
The revelation comes years after Briatore stirred controversy by downplaying Lewis Hamilton’s dominance, yet he openly praised Hamilton’s achievements at the same event, acknowledging the difficulty of winning even a single title.
Briatore’s comments highlight the deep respect and affection held for Schumacher within the F1 community, as well as the personal toll the sport’s greatest champion has endured. Corinna’s protective role remains crucial in maintaining Michael’s revered status while managing the realities of his condition away from the public eye.
"He remains a legend, and Corinna’s quiet fight ensures his legacy endures with dignity," Briatore noted.
This insight offers a rare glimpse into the Schumacher family’s private struggle and the enduring impact Michael has had on Formula 1 and its fans worldwide.
