FIA President Jean Todt warned that Formula 1 should be "careful" amid its deliberations about enhancing safety by covering the cockpits with a cage or canopy.
"We must be very careful," Todt is quoted by Speed Week, "because we do not want to change the special nature of the different motor sport categories. On the other hand, we must do everything possible to improve safety."
Todt said he was badly affected by the death of Jules Bianchi last year, but particularly the sad plight of his close friend Michael Schumacher.
"Coincidentally, I am seeing him (Schumacher) this very evening," Todt revealed last Friday.
As for the Bianchi and Schumacher cases, he explained: "I'm not going to compare them. Through my son [Nicolas], I felt the terrible loss of Jules, but with Michael the situation is different because he is like my family.
"When someone is a part of your family, it is very painful to see them hurt," Todt is quoted by the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti.
