The Formula One famous racer Michael Schumacher is showing a good recovery from his skiing accident. Only his manager Sabine Kehm is giving an update about his condition since his family declared a total blackout for their privacy reasons.

It was back in 2013 when Schumacher had a horrible accident while skiing at the French Alps. He was immediately put in a drug-induced coma that lasted for almost one year. He only woke up on April 2014, after that he was brought home to be taken care of by his lovely equestrian wife.

According to CrossMap, Schumacher is being attended and helped by 15 people to recover from his condition. His total cost of rehabilitation weekly is around $151, 695, which is difficult for the family to sustain.

"We are happy to say still he does improvement and I say this always considering the severeness of the injury he had. But of course it will take a very long time for everybody involved to fight, and we are happy to take this fight," Kehm said.

Kehm also added that although Schumacher is making progress, they still worry about the injury that impacted his head.

Meanwhile, Mika Häkkinen said in an interview that he still remember the Belgian Grand Prix 2000. He won the world championship in years 1998 and 1999.  He also enjoyed his Formula One career having rivalry with Schumacher where they respected each other, NBC Sports reported.

"I hope and pray that those encouraging signs are continuing still. No, he will never race again; no, he may never walk again; he may never talk again, for all I know. But, on the other hand, he may. Miracles sometimes occur, and I for one dearly hope that a miracle occurs for Michael some time soon. Keep fighting, my old friend."

Schumacher and Häkkinen are long time competitors as F1 racers but they are also a very good friends. As Schumacher shows a very good recovery, it is not impossible that  he may get back his Ferrari and race again.
