Michael Schumacher ‘cries when he hears his children but is still long way from recovery’

Michael Schumacher was said to ‘cry when he heard his children’ but reports added he was still a long way from full recovery.

The news emerged as the Formula One legend celebrated his 46th birthday today, with the update on his condition coming from Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper.

‘Sometimes a tear rolls down Michael’s face,’ it claimed.

‘He cries when he hears the voice of his children or Corinna [his wife].’

The reports on his condition seemed to be confirmed by Alberto Sabbatini, editor of Autospirit, who said Schumacher appeared to now be feeling emotion and his brain was ‘working’.

In quotes attributed to him in The Times he added for the moment Schumacher may be a prisoner in his body but there were signs he was conscious.

But these new claims contradict Schumacher’s surgeon, Gérard Saillant, who said last week the former driver had not begun to recognise loved ones.

Schumacher suffered the head injury in December 2013 when he crashed while skiing.
