Schumacher might not fully recover

News that 7 times F1 World Champion and driving legend had left Grenoble, where he has been in an intensive care since his skiing accident last December, and is no longer in a coma, was met with elation all over the world.

But Britain's Telegraph newspaper cited a source close to the Schumacher's family as confirming that the 45 year old legend is "drifting in and out of consciousness".

Darcy Christen, the Head of Media for the Laussane University Hospital confirmed that Schumacher's stay wont be for days. It could be for the long haul.

"He is going in and out of consciousness but he is definitely having more moments of consciousness regularly than he had in April. He still can't talk but there is some degree of communication going on.

"His doctors and family speak to him but he gets tired very quickly and needs a lot of rest. So this is kept to a very minimum.

"It will take a few days for him to stabilize completely, after the transfer," the hospital sources was quoted as saying "Then the rehab will begin".

He said Lausanne's neurology department is headed by field leader Professor Richard Frackowiak, and is one of the best-equipped and modern hospital in the world.
