Michael Schumacher update features Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) President Jean Todt as he reveals that "Schumi" is showing signs of progress. Todt added that the Formula One legend might have a normal life again in a short amount of time.
The 45-year old Schumacher has not fully recovered from the accident he was involved in back in December 2013. "Schumi" was skiing with his then 14-year old son at the French Alps when he hit his head on a boulder, forcing doctors to place him in a medically induced coma soon after.
Michael Schumacher update reveals that the formula one legend was in a coma for six months, until waking up in June. Since then, he was transferred from Grenoble Hospital in France to a rehabilitation clinic in Lausanne, Switzerland, near his home.
In early September, Schumacher was released from the clinic and will be continuing the rehabilitation process in his home.
Michael Schumacher update also reveals that while the Formula One legend had been released from the medical facility, many of his close kin are not yet confident about his current condition.
"Considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months," Kehm said in an interview with The Telegraph in September. "There is still, however, a long and difficult road ahead."
FIA President and close friend Jean Todt however, revealed in a recent interview that Schumacher is showing some signs of progress as the rehabilitation process continues. But he did not ignore the fact that the road to recovery is still a long one.
"In the past weeks and months, he has made progress in relation to the severity of his injury," Todt told Motorsport.com. "But a long and hard road is in front of him."
In a separate interview, Todt also expressed his belief that there is a possibility for "Schumi" to get his life back to normalcy, but getting his in Formula One career back on track may not be possible.
"We may assume that Schumacher can live a relatively normal life within a short period of time," he said. "What we can say is that he will probably never again drive a formula one car."
