JAKARTA - The latest news about the condition of former driver Michael Schumacher has been revealed by former Ferrari boss, Jean Todt. He said he still often watches F1 racing together.

Since suffering a ski accident in December 2013 the F1 world champion has not been seen in public again. As a result of the accident, Schumacher reportedly fell into a coma.

According to a medical explanation, the accident in the French Alps caused the German man to experience swelling in his brain after hitting his head on a rock. The situation left him in a coma for six months.

Since that incident, Schumacher's health condition has been kept a secret by his family. Todt admitted that he didn't really miss Schumacher, because they still often met and watched F1 races together.

"I don't miss Michael, I can see him," Todt told a German TV channel as quoted by the Daily Star.

"But of course, what I miss is what we used to do together. Yes it's true - I watched the race with Michael," said Todt.

Last year, Todt said he wasn't really missing Schumacher. The reason is, Todt and the family of the racer still maintain good communication.

"I didn't leave him alone. He, Corinna (Schumacher's wife), family, we had so many experiences together. The beauty of what we have been through is a part of who we are and the relationship continues," explains Todt.

In the nine years since Schumacher's accident, now his son Mick has stepped up to take over his father's seat in F1 racing. So far, especially in recent weeks has also been a strong season for Mick featuring for the Haas team.

Mick secured his first points at Silverstone earlier this month by finishing eighth. Then he crossed the line in sixth at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Regarding the achievements achieved by Mick, Todt said he was happy to see how this young Schumacher performed on the track.

"I was very happy when he (Mick) finished the points in the last two races. There was a lot of unfair pressure on him," he said.

"What I really expect from him is the opportunity to drive the best car. Then he will be able to win races and titles," continued Todt.

Mick himself has high hopes for the future by following in his father's footsteps. "We'll have a lot more to talk about and that's where I'm going to pour it all in, thinking it (race) would be really cool. That's it. I'll give up everything just for that (race)," said Mick.
