Legendary Formula 1 racing champion Michael Schumacher continues to struggle with rehabilitation after waking up from a coma caused by a skiing accident back in December 2013. Despite the uphill challenge, however, it seems like friend and British former Formula One team principal Ross Brawn continues to hope that family, friends and fans will get to see Schumacher in the same condition as he was before the terrible accident.

In an interview with The Guardian, the resigned Formula One team principal talks about his former career in Formula One, his take on the industry and his hopes for Schumacher's recovery. Brawn reminisces the time when the Formula One teams had drivers with talent in great cars, pointing out they had a long period of success with Schumacher because of that winning formula.

The team principle believed a lot in the talent of Schumacher, saying that he "was the best of all not just for his driving ability — but his ability to be a crucial part of creating our teams at Benetton and Ferrari. He was a dream to work with — but Michael is the only driver of that calibre I've worked with and he is a friend. So I'm biased."

Brawn continues to visit Schumacher from time to time, and he hopes and prays that the racing legend would make a recovery. The team principal is very careful in making his statements, recalling that he was misquoted before.

"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," Brawn explains.

Meanwhile, in other news, Fox Sports reports that an official Instagram account has been generated for Schumacher to share the racing legends memories with fans across the globe before the start of the anniversary of the racer's very first world championship title.
