A long time has passed since we last had any news on the health of Michael Schumacher. But we’re pleased to report his family brings us an update via a statement published by manager Sabine Kehm. As much as it can be, this is bloody good news:
“Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore.
“His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months.
“The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him.
“For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye.”
All the best Michael, all the best.

Read the latest blog entry from Gary Hartstein before taking the latest Sabine presser at face value. There is no news here which we didn’t get months ago, just spin.
Yes, when going back over the notes last night it was clear we’d already been given the news he was emerging from a coma.
That said, I still figured this latest news was positive and a sign that there could be better times ahead for Michael, although, personally I’m not expecting much for him, sadly.
I’ve just read Hartstein’s latest thoughts and his final para is rather sobering:
