Well I like to be optimistic so to read this is wonderful news. I hope he is making a good recovery. In much the way that the press has respected the family (on the most part) it is nice the family are also respecting the fans and well-wishers by releasing these statements.

Well, it's good news for Michael and his family that he can be in his home environment surrounded by family. I'm sure he'll have a dedicated care team on hand and all the facilities he needs to recover or find some solace.

[Jasandjules]

It sounds promising to me.

Fingers crossed he recovers well.

Sadly the man we knew probably died a long time ago.

Sad end.

I honestly doubt we'll see anything of him again.

You are correct.

Few years ago I had someone very close to me have a similar injury.

Docs said he is going to die, intensive care for 3/4 months, them specialist hospitals for a few years.
He is still alive but not the same person that he was.

Good luck to him.

I imagine his home facilities will match the best specialist hospital by now and staff.

He may not be fighting fit to do what he's done in the past, but I hope for his family and him that he can live a normal life with mobility and his mind all able.

Keep fighting.

Marussia have signed him to replace Max Chilton from Singapore onwards.

If only there was a thread about this.

That's in quite poor taste

I'm not a fan, sports wise but as a human being I wish him a full recovery though sadly this may never be the case.

Keep fighting Michael.....

How much of a recovery did your friend make? I appreciate MS will never make a full recovery, but I hope he recovers enough to have some quality of life.

Never liked him or the do anything to win approach- that Benetton for instance but terrible and from the reports of the damage/extent and repeat surgery due to bleed/swelling I doubt he'll leave that house. We all expect him to walk out one day.

I suspect this is the most likely, he will be in a largely vegetative state, which is incredibly sad.

He has two young children who deserve their dad to return to them. A true ledgend who did nothing but work hard and bring some excitement to what has become a race of androids. Keep fighting indeed michael.

Wishful thinking by Jean Todt I think.
