Entrepreneur Alex Hartman is now connected to Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher after the former abandoned Newzulu, the tech company he founded. Many believe that there was already a connection between the two even before the skiing accident of the racer three years ago.
Hartman's role
Reports indicated that Hartman is back to business after he walked away from the company he started. This time, he is said to be running the office of Michael Schumacher with the job title of "representative director." He is currently based in Geneva, Switzerland for his new function.
Hartman is said to be the one running Schumacher's office while the F1 racer recovers from his serious injuries which he suffered during a skiing accident in the French Alps in 2013. He went on a coma but is said to be doing better these days as he continues his recovery at his home near Lake Geneva.
Airlift photos
The relationship of the racer and the tech guru may be traced back even before Schumacher's accident. It was noted that Newzulu's success was built mostly on the sales of the racer's images as he was being airlifted from the French Alps. The photos reportedly earned $214,700.
How is Schumacher recovering?
Though there is little update on the current condition of Schumacher because the family wants to keep it private, former Ferrari technical head Ross Brawn claimed that Schumacher is making progress with his recovery. He also reiterated that the racer's family still wants to keep things to their own with regards to Schumacher's condition.
"The family have chosen to conduct Michael's convalescence in private and I must respect that," he explained but noted that there are "encouraging signs" manifested by Schumacher. He also asked supporters to continue playing for the racer.
Fans of the F1 star have long waited for an update about him as nothing definite has been announced about his condition. For more news and updates about Michael Schumacher, continue checking GameNGuide.
