Schumacher needs a miracle

The original source reportedly said the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver now needs "a miracle to stay alive", almost 30 months after his skiing fall in late 2013.

Todt is quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport: "We can only send best wishes to him and his family, who now have a much more important battle."
