Michael Schumacher, seven-time world champion F1 racer who suffered from head injury during a skiing accident in December 2013, is reportedly "reacting" to his treatment. This is according to Schumacher's former Formula One boss, Luca Di Montezemolo, in a report from Express.

"I'm very pleased to know that he is reacting," explained Di Montezamolo. "I know how strong he is. I'm sure that thanks to his determination, which will be crucial, he will come out from this very, very difficult situation. And I really hope."

Unfortunately, he did not elaborate on what he meant by "reacting" as this could refer to very small incremental improvements or major milestones that could hint Schumacher will regain full normal functionality again. 

Jean Todt, the president of the FIA, followed up on this statement and explained that Schumacher's response to the treatment is a clear example of who he was as a racer. Todt described Schumacher as a dedicated, hard-working and very talented man. Reacting to his treatment was a sign that Schumacher retained those traits despite his injuries.

Todt also explained that back during Schumacher's time as a racer the latter would constantly go back and ask for private testing, proving he was determined to win no matter what the circumstances were. This attitude now reflects with how Schumacher was dealing with his condition.

Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager, also explained in a report from TVNZ that he is still improving but the severity of his condition should be taken into consideration. She explained that it will be a long time before he can fully recover and that she and his family are all pushing forward with this fight for him to get better.

Michael Schumacher, winner of seven world titles and 91 offiical races, crashed onto a rock while skiing at the French Alps. He was placed in a medically induced coma and later on continued his treatment at the family home near Lake Geneva where he is constantly monitored and attended to by a rotating medical staff.
