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.

Well wishes and prayers also flooded in for Schumacher during his birthday last month, especially those coming from former racing champions. Mercedes Team's chief Ross Brawn commended Schumacher for winning numerous races and in helping the team reach its success.
