Despite the condition of Schumacher, his close friend and fellow Formula One racer, Mika Häkkinen remembered him at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.
"I hope and pray that those encouraging signs are continuing still. No, he will never race again; no, he may never walk again; he may never talk again, for all I know," Häkkinen wrote in a McLaren blog post, recalling how he and Schumacher, who he called a "terrifically combative competitor," raced hard.
"You do not win seven world championships by being soft-hearted."
Häkkinen still hopes that Michael Schumacher, together with his loved ones and his supporters remain resilient in the former formula one racer's fight to recovery, saying, "Miracles sometimes occur, and I for one dearly hope that a miracle occurs for Michael sometime soon."
Sebastin Vettel, who was mentored by Michael Schumacher recalls the times he was able to spend with him before he had the accident. He said that he was thankful to know the formula one champion as a person and not just as a racer. He became a friend who always gives him advice in life and as a racer.
"I was looking up to him and still I am in many ways," Vattel told New York Times. "But it was obviously a shift as soon as I got to know him, and you think more of the person rather than the racing driver and the success and the statistics."
It is very clear that many people are waiting for the comeback of Michael Schumacher. Fans are hoping for his speedy recovery and looking forward to see him again in the race track.
