Numerous rumors, all more or less wild, are circulating about the health condition of Michael Schumacher, who has been in a coma for several weeks following a skiing accident in the French resort of M\u00e9ribel last December. The latest official news provided by the close circle of the seven-time world champion reported a reduction in the sedatives administered to the German to begin a wake-up phase. Since then, no further official information has been released.<\/p>\n
However, during the test days in Bahrain, Felipe Massa told The Independent<\/i> that he visited his former teammate’s bedside and shared his impressions on the German’s health status: \u00ab I always try to stay optimistic. I saw him, I talked to him, I told him everything I did in Jerez with my car, the new team and all that. I asked him to wake up, several times. I remain positive. I think we have to believe in it. He is a very strong man, a very great man, and I really hope he wakes up and enjoys life again. \u00bb<\/p>\n
But despite this displayed optimism, the new Williams driver remains very cautious about Michael Schumacher’s condition: \u00ab It’s always very difficult to say because I have no experience with what the doctors say. I saw him and was very happy to be with him for a long time, to talk to him and try to give the best energy to help him. He sleeps, and that reassured me because he seemed normal. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Moreover, Massa had the impression that Schumacher was reacting to his presence, even though it’s still the opinion of a layman: \u00ab He also had some reactions with his mouth so that’s positive. But I have no experience to say anything. I am not a doctor. But when I saw him, to me, it looked very positive. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
