Michael Schumacher Health Status News and Rumors: Former Ferrari President Confident For F1 Champion's Recovery

German-born and F1 racing champion Michael Shumacher is reportedly on the path of gradual medical recovery from the severe injuries he sustained from skiing accident while on a winter holiday in the Swiss Alps. For quite some time, fans have scarce access to trustworthy update regarding his health. However, former Ferrari President Luca Di Montezemolo has broken the silence and expressed confidence in Shumacher's recovery.

The former Ferrari exec has recently given hopeful Schumacher fans a comforting albeit limited update regarding the racing champ's current heath condition. He said that the F1 superstar has been reacting although di Montezemolo did not elaborate what 'reacting' exactly meant.

The family of the seven-time Formula One champion has been extremely private over Shumacher's real condition as manifested by media blackout to prevent any leaks from getting out without the family's overt permission.

"I'm very pleased to know that he is reacting. I know how strong he is. I'm sure that thanks to his determination - which will be crucial - he will come out from this very, very difficult situation... And I really hope," the former F1 boss said as quoted by CNN in a recent interview.

Due to scarcity of reliable information, a plethora of rumors and plenty of hearsays cannot be ignored although fans should still take everything with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, an update from Sports Rageous seems to coincide di Montezemolo's recent statement on the champ's progress. The report suggests that the world renowned car racer has already come out from medically-induced coma and is currently in a wheelchair with his recovery still hanging in the balance.

Despite being fearful of Shumacher's condition, avid fans continue to express their moral support by launching a social media campaign such as the now viral hashtag #KeepFightingMichael

As of this time, Schumacher is reportedly continuing his extensive and costly medical rehabilitation at a custom-built and state-of-the-art suite in his Geneva home in Switzerland with 24/7 care by 15 medical experts under Professor Jean-Francois Payen's charge, Parent Herald reported.
