Michael Schumacher on Facebook

Michael Schumacher’s loved ones are keeping details of Schumacher’s condition a closely-guarded secret, but according to his close friend, Ross Brawn, they are ‘extremely hopeful they’ll see him as they once knew him’.

The 47-year-old Formula 1 great is continuing to recover from serious head injuries suffered in a skiing accident in 2013.

Brawn, the former technical director at Ferrari, has already revealed there have been some ‘encouraging signs’ in the driver’s recovery. However, his current condition remains unknown to the public.

In an interview with the Guardian, Brawn said he still visited his friend.

He added: ‘We go see him and hope and pray that one day he will make a recovery. I was quoted as saying he’s improving and it was not what I really meant. 

‘The family are conducting his convalescence in private and I need to respect that. So I don’t want to comment on his condition beyond saying we’re extremely hopeful we’ll see Michael as we knew him at some point in the future.’
