Michael Schumacher Condition: Manager Sabine Kehm Says The 7-Time World Champion Is Making ‘Progress Appropriate To The Severity Of His Situation’

Michael Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm has provided an updated on the latest condition of the seven-time Formula One, or F1 champion. According to Khem, there is still no definitive timetable when Schumacher will be able to fully recover from the injuries he sustained in the skiing accident back in December.

In a report by The Local, Kehm was quoted saying that it would be hard to predict when the German ace can return to his normal life. "Michael is making progress appropriate to the severity of the situation," Kehm said. However, she also added that the recovery and rehabilitation process would be difficult and would take a long period of time.

Kehm also stated that Schumacher's family is thankful for the outpouring messages of support that the fans and supports had sent the F1 champion throughout this long and tough battle. She said that the "positive energy" from the thoughts and well-wishes had been great. "We appreciate the condolences from around the world."

Recently, Philippe Streiff has made some comments about Schumacher's condition. Streiff revealed that he visited the 45-year-old F1 champion and said that Schumacher is paralysed and wheelchair-bound. Streiff also claimed that Schumacher is also having speech as well as memory problems. Kehm has denied Streiff's comments.

In other news, Schumacher's fellow F1 driver Jules Bianchi is also reportedly making progress. Like Schumacher, Bianchi has sustained brain injuries after he crashed his car to a safety crane at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. Bianchi has been put in an artificial coma following the accident. The 25-year-old Frenchman stayed at the Mie Prefectural General Medical Center in Yokkaichi, Japan for more than a month.

On November 19, Bianchi's family released an official statement through his Facebook account saying that the Marussia F1 driver is no longer in artificial coma. Bianchi is breathing unaided and his vital signs are reportedly stable, enough for him to be transferred from Japan to his hometown. However, Bianchi's condition remains unconscious and in a critical condition. Currently, Bianchi stays in the intensive care unit of the Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice in France.
