Can't wait to hear an update by Sabine Kehm! Keep fighting Michael!

Anything new?

[Lesky]

I wonder, can Michael watch the F1 races? His hearing and eyes functioning normally? I understand watching F1 is not a priority, but still....

[shamim179]

Doesn't look positive or negative. No change in his situation really.

[Greig]

No news really but Mick is getting started on his way to F1?

Thank you. Nice to read this. Hope MS will get better and watch his son progress.

You wouldn't half know! He looks a lot like Ralf too.

I just read in an article that Jean Todt was hopeful that he can live a 'normal' life again! I can provide you with a link if you want but it's all in Dutch language so it's up to youguys?

[Tifoso]

May he make a complete recovery. C'mon, Michael!

Plenty of online translators, would love to read some thoughts from Todt!

[abbottcostello]

I like what he has said. Seems to me that what google translated to "We may assume... " could be taken a couple of different ways (based on US usage of the word "may", but I'll accept either meaning or usage as a very positive message!!

[Hornet]

Thanks for all the articles posted. Always good to hear something positive.

And I wish Mick all the best. I hope he is indeed on his way to F1.

Jean Todt has delivered perhaps the most promising news about Michael Schumacher's condition since the F1 legend's fateful skiing fall last December.

The pair became close friends at Ferrari last decade as the Italian team dominated formula one.

Since then, 45-year-old Schumacher has retired and Frenchman Todt is now FIA president, but they remained close friends.

Todt has visited the Schumacher family since the seven time world champion returned to his home in Switzerland after months in hospital and rehabilitation.

Precious little is known about Schumacher's health condition, but Todt has reportedly now delivered an upbeat report to the Belgian broadcaster RTL.

"We may assume that Schumacher can live a relatively normal life within a short period of time," said the FIA president.

"What we can say is that he will probably never again drive a formula one car."

RTL said Todt, 68, visited Schumacher at his home on the shore of Lake Geneva in the week before the Japanese grand prix.

"He fights. His condition improves, which is very important," said Todt, "as is the fact that he is now home with his family."

A positive that he is improving to a normal life and that he is home with his family..... He has given me great memories from F1 x

[Suzie]

This sounds very positive. I mean, the news that he won't race again is hardly a shocker is it, so there's no point focusing on that whatsoever.

Todt: "Schumacher can lead a normal life again"

Former Ferrari team boss Jean Todt has visited Michael Schumacher last week. Todt has told during the Japanese Grand Prix to the Belgian RTL he was with his friend at his home in Switzerland.

According to the current FIA president it is going better with the seven time world champion Formula 1. Todt: "I have seen him at the beginning of last week. He is fighting and his situation is getting better, which is very important. It's also good for him to be at home with his family."

"We may assume that Schumacher could lead a relatively normal life in the near future again. He needs time to do that so he should get rest and we should leave him alone. He will probably never drive a Formula 1 car again, that is something we can say."

Oh how lovely to read some good and encouraging news. What spirit has Michael shown - his greatest World Championship status of all - find myself very moved reading these tonight and I hope for the future when we see Mick racing with dad in the paddocks cheering him on - I look forward to that day.

[Ste]

Turns out the Todt quote on Michael was a mis-translation. :(

He said: "We must hope Michael can live a normal life" rather than "we may assume". A small but critical difference.
