There is always hope for Michael Schumacher's recovery, says friend Ross Brawn

Johannesburg: One of the closest friends of Michael Schumacher has said that there is always hope for a recovery of the Formula One legend.

Schumacher, who has record seven Formula One titles and 91 race wins, was injured while skiing during a French Alps vacation and has been going through his painfully slow recovery at his Swiss lakeside home.

Ross Brawn, who was a prominent management figure throughout Schumacher's successes, revealed that he has been in continuous touch with his friend's wife Corinna who keeps him updated about his recovery.

Brawn insisted that he prays to god for his speedy recovery, Sport24 reported.

The 46-year-old German driver now weighs less than 45 kg and he cannot walk or talk and has limited consciousness.
