Michael Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm says the seven-time F1 champion is showing more "small signs" of progress as he recovers from a serious head injury at the Grenoble University Hospital.

Earlier in the month, Kehm said he was showing "moments of consciousness and awakening." She elaborated further on his condition when speaking to German TV station ARD on Sunday:

There are short moments of consciousness and he is showing small signs of progress. There are moments when he is awake and moments when he is conscious. Of course I am not a doctor, but medically, there is a distinction between being awake and being conscious, the latter meaning there is an ability to interact with his surroundings. I don’t want to disclose details out of respect for the family, but we have no doubt at all in the abilities of the doctors treating Michael, they are experts in their field."

Kehm added that any interaction with Schumacher is "on a very limited basis" and added that "a medical prognosis is not possible" due to the nature of his brain injury.

We’ll bring you any new developments as they are announced.
