The latest news on the health of seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is not good, says his former Ferrari boss.
"I get news about him constantly and unfortunately it is not good," Luca di Montezemolo told reporters.
"He was the most successful driver Ferrari ever had. He only suffered one accident in his entire career, in 1999, and it was our fault, not his," he added.
"Unfortunately, a skiing accident ruined his life." Mr di Montezemolo did not give any more details on Schumacher's condition, but defended the German over rumours he was to blame for his December 2013 accident.
"It's not true that Michael wasn't careful on his skis. When he went off piste, he was always careful," said the former Ferrari chairman.
"More than anything, on skis he was very careful." The German has been in a coma for more than two years after suffering serious head injuries in the French resort of Meribel.
The 47-year-old is being cared for at his home in Switzerland.
