Michael Schumacher has left hospital in Grenoble

This is great news!

Michael will continue his rehabilitation at an undisclosed location, they said in a statement. His family thanked people who had sent messages of support, saying: "We are sure it helped him."

They also praised the "excellent job" of medical staff at the hospital in Grenoble, in south-east France.

I fear it is not great news. I fear he is simply relatively stable, in a coma, from which he will not recover.

I fear it is not great news. I fear he is simply relatively stable, in a coma, from which he will not recover.

Unfortually that was my thoughts too Vintly.I hope
I'm wrong.

He is out of the induced coma but still has a long way to go.

"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, said in a statement on behalf of his family on Monday.

"For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," she said, without specifying where Schumacher had been taken to.

Relatives have previously warned that "it was clear from the start that this will be a long and hard fight for Michael".

I have the same fear as vintly & Dare, but I hope you're right, Wizzo.

Got to stay positive for the man.

Fantastic!  All the best on his rehabilitation and recovery!  Every step up can only be positive.   

[Ian]

I'm praying for the day it's reported that Michael's woken up and is talking.

[Irisado]

Let's hope that this is the start of his recovery.

Agreed. As Mercedes had on their cars, Keep Fighting Michael!
