Michael Schumacher enjoys watching Formula 1 races on TV and he is 'fighting' to regain his health, his former boss at Ferrari said.

Jean Todt provided F1 fans with a rare update during an interview with Radio Monte-Carlo.

Todt, one of Schumacher's closest confidantes, said the F1 star was making 'good progress' and the pair watch races together on TV.

He added: 'I'm always careful with such statements, but it's true. I saw the race together with Michael Schumacher at his home in Switzerland.

'Michael is in the best hands and is well looked after in his house.

'He does not give up and keeps fighting.'
