A few days ago, walking around Maranello, the town where Ferrari is based, a veteran ‘rossa’ fan and resident of the small town, highlighted the MD how sorry Ferrari fans are that Michael Schumacher can’t be the team leader or manager of the red team to create a winning team like the one in Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Michael himself since the 2000s. “Now, with the crisis in the team, everyone is saying that we will need Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn.…they’ve been missing that team ever since, but unfortunately that team will never be remade. It takes years to rebuild it,” he said. And a few days later, a close friend of Michael’s, former German F1 driver Timo glockalso made a reference to that facet that F1 missed from the 7-time champion in remarks on the ‘Bettingsites’ portal.
According to Timo Glock, due to Michael Schumacher’s character and his preferences, he does not believe that the seven-time champion will dedicate himself to being a television commentator as some of his former rivals do, such as David Coulthard or the German Nico. Rosberg. The former driver of Jordan (2004), Toyota (2008 and 2009), Virgin (2010) and Marussia (2011 and 2012) believes that if the ‘Kaiser’ had not experienced a ski accident ten years ago that changed his life, he will choose a different professional direction after retiring at the end of 2012: the team leader or member of a team. Although he considered that it was not in the early years of his retirement.
“Team manager? Maybe not in the early part of his retirement, maybe later. But he will definitely be a good person in that position because he knows what he needs,” Glock commented on Schumacher.
The friendship between Timo Glock and Schumacher
Timo Glock also referred to his friendship with Michael Schumacher and his memories of the years he shared the track and many plane trips with his compatriot to tracks around the world.
“I spent a lot of time with Schumacher on the bike and when he came back to Mercedes (after his first retirement), and I was driving for Virgin and Marussia, we played a lot of chess games. I have never played chess in the my life and Michael showed me “He taught. We both played endless games on the fly and I loved it when I managed to beat him, because Michael didn’t want to lose.”Glock said of Schumacher.
