F1 superstar Michael Schumacher is still in the process of recuperation after a ski incident in 2013 and the media blackout on his health status still ongoing. Meanwhile, Schumacher's 16 year-old son took second place during the MRF Challenge in Chennai.
As reported by Christian Today, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm confirmed that the former F1 racer has made progress in his health, however, she clarified that rumors claiming that he is now able to walk is not true.

Unfortunately they also give false hopes to many involved people.", Kehm stated. "We are happy to say still he does improvement and I say this always considering the severeness of the injury he had. But of course it will take a very long time for everybody involved to fight, and we are happy to take this fight," she added.
