“Encouraging Signs” says Ross Brawn on a Michael Schumacher Condition Update
Michael Schumacher was injured in a skying accident back in 2013. He was in a coma at one point and that’s about the bulk of the info the public has been made aware of. Until today, where positive news came from Ross Brawn.
The medical recovery of the F1 great has been withheld, largely private by the family as well as family lawyers. That’s very understandable given the circumstances. The family likely wants fans to remember Schumacher as the legend he was to the F1 world.

“There are encouraging signs and we are all praying every day that we see more of them. So it is difficult for me to say very much and respect the family’s privacy.
