Claude Michy is an organizer of the French Grand Prix who had to give up in the face of the coronavirus. Certainly, the battle is not lost since there was a retreat and not capitulation. Officially, the meeting at Le Mans has been postponed. But we don't know when. The Arverne explains to us from his Gergovie plateau that he will do everything to avoid his Alésia. But he also doesn't hide the fact that it won't be easy, because he is like more than half of humanity at the moment: he is suffering the events imposed by the pandemic...
The impossible no one is bound. But impossible is not French, they say. It is between these two moods of fatality and tenacity that Claude Michy spoke in the columns of the daily The Mountain on French Grand Prix to see again later that he organizes. It was to take place from 15 at 17 may and the Gaul was forced to postpone it forever: “ the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, which was due to take place on May 1, has also been postponed.

I am an optimistic but reasonable boy, especially when you don't have a master's degree. » A pragmatism which also depicts the current situation unvarnished: “ you have to be aware of the situation, no one knows where we are going. It is the virus that is in charge, it is he who will decide. Today, we do not know exactly when global gatherings, bringing together people from several countries, will be able to be held. We cannot have a clear, precise vision of the situation. »
De there, Claude Michy warns that de-confinement will reveal a profoundly disrupted world: “theThe economy will be very affected, it will take time to get back on track at the best level. » A sentence that appeals to us all. But before taking stock of the damage, we must emerge from this ordeal: “ what matters to me is that everyone can get together and live peacefully, in good health and that the world is peaceful. We know there will be better days, but we don't know when » he finishes.
