Former manager describes Schumacher: 'Impossible to keep it brief'

Talent scout and manager Willi Weber thinks about one of his most valuable clients Michael Schumacher in conversation with the Italian media. The German still finds it difficult to talk about his fellow countryman after his accident.

Weber is a well-known manager of drivers and racing talents. The German was also the manager of top models such as Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, but his most valuable partner is Schumacher. This is evident from the conversation he has with the Italian Gazetta.it. Weber still misses the seven-time world champion. Some time after Schumacher's ski accident, contact with the family was broken off.

Weber misses Schumacher

Gazetta asks Weber to describe the living legend: "It is impossible to do so with just one word. Let's see... I would call him a brilliant person who is straightforward and a stubborn guy. He is a fantastic driver from another planet." Weber continues, "I would tell him that I will always be there for him, to fix everything. I would tell him I miss him." Three years after the accident, Weber agreed with himself not to contact the family again. The family's wish is still to be left alone as much as possible. Weber: "He was like a son to me and it still hurts me now to talk about it."
