Motorsport fans rejoice as Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher comes out of induced coma

Michael Schumacher

In a recent announcement, Michael Schumacher’s manager Sabine Kehm confirmed that the former Formula 1 driver is no longer in coma. What’s more, the seven-time world champion has also been discharged from the Grenoble’s University Hospital in France where he was admitted immediately after his skiing accident. 

“His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months,” read a statement.

Schumacher, who retired from Formula 1 at the end of the 2012 season, suffered major head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps last December. He went through two operations to remove life-threatening blood clots and was then placed in an induced coma. The medical team began reducing the sedation at the end of January this year. Since then announcements about his progress haven’t been very frequent. In fact, Former F1 doctor Gary Hartstein had even written on his blog that he feared the worst. 

“For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye,” concluded the statement.
