It is now more than two years since the German’s horrific skiing accident where he suffered serious head injuries after going off-piste on the French Alps in December 2013.
After spending several months in hospital, the 47-year-old returned to his home in Switzerland in September 2014, and has since been receiving intensive treatment at home, out of the public eye.
“He was a fantastic driver and only had one accident with Ferrari in 1999”.
But Di Montezemolo, who as the president of Ferrari oversaw Schumacher’s unprecedented success, has provided a bleak outlook regarding his former driver.
A quick recap of how we got here: Back in December of 2013 Schumacher crashed while skiing and was left with life-threatening brain injuries.
Schumacher’s management declined to comment when contacted by the Independent. A spokesman later added that Streiff’s comments were merely “his opinion”.
She said: “Unfortunately, we are forced by a recent press report to clarify that the assertion that Michael could move again is not true”. “Unfortunately they also give false hopes to many involved people”.

However, Di Montezemolo revealed today that things were not looking good for the seven-time Formula 1 world champion. “We must keep him fighting with the family”.
