The passage of time does not appease Willy Weber, the former manager of Michael Schumacher. Unlike the family’s press attaché, Sabine Kehm, and unlike Jean Todt, the only outside person authorized to see the seven-time world champion, Weber is kept away from the family and his former client.
The German had already expressed his astonishment at the idea of having been removed from the circle close to Michael Schumacher following the ski accident of the former pilot, in December 2013. Since then, no news has filtered on the Schumacher’s state of health, and Weber believes that the family is lying to public opinion.
“It was a huge pain for me” Weber told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I tried hundreds of times to contact Corinna and she was not answering. I called Jean Todt to ask him if I should go to the hospital and he told me to wait, it was too soon . I called the next day and no one answered.”
“I didn’t expect such behavior and I’m still angry regarding it. They kept me away, telling me it was too soon, and following that it was too late. It’s been nine years. Maybe they should just tell it like it is.”
“I might understand the situation initially because I always did everything I might for Michael, to protect his privacy. But since then, we have only heard lies from them.”
Weber made up his mind but still suffers from this decision: “Years following the accident, I told myself that I should just take care of the family because I mightn’t change things. He was like a son to me. talk regarding.”
