Former Formula One (F1) doctor Gary Hartstein occasionally tackles Michael Schumacher's condition on his blog, but he will discontinue writing about the health condition of the seven-time world champion.

Even though Dr. Hartstein's comments on Schumacher were only based on second-hand information and own experience, fans were grateful of the doctor's cunning ingenuity to explain what the future holds for the seven-time world champion especially in the absence of media updates from Schumacher's family or representative.

Recently, Dr. Hartstein explained to his avid followers that people who remained in coma for six months are likely to remain in persistent vegetative state or to die. Schumacher has been in a medically-induced coma a little over five months now.

However, in his latest blog post, Dr. Hartstein wrote that he will stop writing about Schumacher. "I've decided that I'm going to stop writing about Michael Schumacher, about his accident, and about what his situation may or may not be."

"There's not much more really to say. It leaves me with a leaden feeling in my gut that Michael is in his sickbed, and that more words aren't going to help anybody with anything."

Dr. Hartstein also spoke in an exclusive interview with Bunte.de and it may well be the last time that he will say something about Schumacher. As always, he gave a rather pessimistic but brutally honest view on Schumacher's condition.

"I do not think anyone will ever hear his voice ever again."

What can be expected in the future by Schumacher's family and millions of fans? Here's what Dr. Hartstein has to say, 'If he would wake up from time to time and then he could say 'yes or no,' and track movements with his eyes, it would be the best that we can hope for."
