Michael Schumacher Health News: Ex-President of Ferrari Hints at Schumacher’s Improving Health

According to Luca Di Montezemolo, former president of Ferrari, the legendary F1 driver who suffered from a ski accident more than two years ago told CNN in an interview that he is "very pleased to know that he is reacting." This news comes after Montezemolo said in February that the condition of reigning F1 champion doesn't look very good.

Even though Montezemelo doesn't explain what he means by Schumacher "reacting," it is still a good news for the fans who have been eagerly waiting for a health update from the star's family or his long time manager, Sabine Kehm. This is also the first time in several months that someone of significance has offered a comment on Michael Schumacher's health.

Former boss of the German racer added that it is Schumacher's inner strength that will help him overcome one of his biggest challenges. "I know how strong he is," Di Montezemolo said. "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."

There is no doubt in the reason why ex-President of Ferrari is still hopeful about Schumacher's recovery. Schumacher is not only a seven times F1 world champion but also one of the most important drivers of Ferrari.

"He was an important member of the family and for me it's difficult to separate Michael as a driver from Michael as a friend," Di Montezemolo explained.

Michael Schumacher underwent a ski accident in the French Alps in 2013 during his vacation. Due to fatal nature of his injuries to his head, he has been recovering at his Swiss home and is being treated by team of highly proficient doctors and caregivers.
