Mixed reaction to Monday's Schumacher news
News on Monday that Michael Schumacher is out of his coma and hospital met a mixed reaction.
Overwhelmingly, the response was positive, with figures like Ferrari's Fernando Alonso tweeting that he is "So happy this is going in the good direction!"
Niki Lauda told German television RTL: "I'm extremely happy. I always believed this news would come.
"Now I wish he gets through the rehab as quickly as possible and is back with us in formula one."
Not everyone is as convinced.
Former F1 doctor Gary Hartstein said the announcement Schumacher is no longer a coma is "not news", as his manager Sabine Kehm had said he was showing signs of consciousness and awakening many weeks ago.
"I cannot help but think that this is a highly cynical use of language, using the truth to convey an impression that is almost certainly false," he said on his blog.
Hartstein said Monday's media statement is telling the world "what we already know, and (we are) pretty much told to not ever expect further updates".
Monday's statement also said Schumacher had left the hospital in Grenoble, but a spokesman for another hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, confirmed to the AFP news agency that the 45-year-old had been admitted there.
"This means he is just over 30 kilometres from his home," said the German daily Bild.
The hospital spokesman told Bild: "As with any patient, we want to respect medical confidentiality."
But the newspaper claimed Schumacher's periods of awakening have been getting longer and longer since the last official statement in early April.
"Michael Schumacher can hear voices and respond to touch," said Bild. "His eyes are open. He can communicate with his environment, especially his wife Corinna and his children.
"Schumacher's condition is now considered stable enough that he no longer needs the help of the specialists in Grenoble."
Hartstein, however, said he believes it is likely Schumacher is either only "minimally conscious" or in a "vegetative state", with only "fluctuating signs of interaction with the environment".
"This all leaves a very bad taste in my mouth," he admitted. "And a huge space of sadness for Michael's family, and for you, his fans."

Doctors urge caution after Schumacher 'good news'
Doctors have urged caution following Monday's official news that Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma.
Lewis Hamilton summed up the mood of almost the entire world when he hailed the statement issued by Schumacher's management as "amazing news".
"I've been trying to keep an ear out for what's going on but not really hearing much improvement," said the Mercedes driver. "To hear this is really encouraging."
As well as saying the seven time world champion's almost six-month coma is now over, Monday's statement revealed Schumacher left the hospital in Grenoble for a "long phase of rehabilitation".
It said little else, but warned of legal consequences should the media report further, including the location of Schumacher's next destination.
But publications promptly claimed Schumacher, 45, was moved to Lausanne university hospital, a 30 minute drive from the family's home in Switzerland. The hospital confirmed the news.
The media also began to quote the opinions of medical experts, like Oxford university neurosurgery professor Dr Tipu Aziz, who told AP news agency it is clear the former Ferrari driver will suffer "long-term side effects".
"With rehabilitation, they will try to train him to cope with the disabilities that he's got to achieve as much life function as possible," he said.
"If he's had a brain injury, he may have weakness in his limbs secondary to loss of brain function. He may have problems with speech and swallowing."
Bild newspaper, claiming that Schumacher cannot yet talk, also reported that the rehabilitation "could take months if not years".
"But there are hopeful signs," British rehabilitation consultant Dr Ganesh Bavikatte is quoted by the Telegraph.
"He is physically fit, he is relatively young and I assume he did not have many pre-existing medical conditions."
Others are less optimistic. Germany neurosurgeon Dr Andreas Pingel told the Focus publication that "Only between 10 and 30 per cent" of patients in Schumacher's situation have "disabilities which are tolerable".
And Germany's society for neurology president Dr Andreas Ferbert warned that Schumacher could now be in a "waking coma", resulting in a "permanent vegetative state".
However, Bild newspaper had claimed Schumacher was communicating with his family.
"We do not know exactly what 'communication' means," Finnish neurosurgeon Dr Mika Niemela told the MTV3 broadcaster. "Eyes open does not necessarily mean communication.
"I do not want to be a pessimist," he added, "and I hope he does improve, but if the information that has been given is correct, then yes, the chance of recovery is fairly poor.
"If he has been five and a half months in ICU, the trauma was significant. Yes, he is probably in constant need of assistance."
The medical consultant for French television BFMTV, however, said Monday's news was a "real step", because earlier updates indicated Schumacher remained at least partially in coma.
"Now it is possible to do a complete neurological evaluation and know exactly what has happened," said Alain Ducardonnet.
"Based on this information, an appropriate rehabilitation will start."
Another expert, the chief of neurology at Tampere University, said that Monday's news makes the "Forecast of recovery slightly better" than before.
"But I am unable to comment on what his ability to function in the future will be," Dr Heikki Numminen told Turun Sanomat newspaper.
Professor Heinzpeter Moecke, of Hamburg hospital, agrees that it is not publicly known what level of consciousness Schumacher is currently achieving.
At any rate, he said the F1 legend will "probably have to relearn everything: swallowing, movement, walking, talking. It is a very long and tedious process with many small steps."
Asked if Schumacher can recover, he answered: "No one can say at this time. In principle, nothing is impossible. But that he will go back to before is at least unlikely."
Former F1 driver Olivier Panis told RTL television on Monday that his friend "will not be paralysed, that's for sure. He will not be disabled in a wheelchair.

It doesn't matter what anyone says. That's Michael!
Long time ago I was told that I'll be dead in two weeks if I don't go through another surgery. I said "No".
Yeah, I went through months without sleep and was in constant pain but here I am 8 years after.
It's all about whether you are ready to win or not. Do you think he isn't?
Be positive, people. Hard only means possible.

Hospital admits Schumacher outcome uncertain
The hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland, has admitted F1 legend Michael Schumacher could be there for the "long haul".
News that the great German had left Grenoble, where he has been in intensive care since his skiing fall in late December, and is no longer in a coma, was met with elation the world over.
But Britain's Telegraph newspaper cited a source close to the Schumacher family - who are otherwise fiercely guarding the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's privacy - as confirming the 45-year-old is 'drifting in and out of consciousness'.
And Darcy Christen, the Lausanne university hospital's head of media, confirmed that Schumacher's stay "won't be days. It could be for the long haul".
"The transfer doesn't mean that his condition improved markedly in the last few weeks. "He is still going in and out of consciousness but he is having more moments of consciousness more regularly than in April. He certainly can't talk but there is some degree of communication.
"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 minimum," he added.
Italy's La Repubblica newspaper also quoted hospital sources as revealing that Schumacher had been moved from Grenoble to be closer to his home in Switzerland, and because he no longer needs to be in intensive care.
"It will take a few days for him to stabilise completely, after the transfer," the hospital sources reportedly said. "Then the rehabilitation will begin."
The report also said Schumacher's moments of consciousness are brief, but that he is sometimes able to communicate by using his eyes.
"It will be a very long journey, and it is hard to say what will be the outcome," Christen said. "Whatever happens, it will take a lot of patience."
He said Lausanne's neurology department is headed by field leader Professor Richard Frackowiak, and is one of the best-equipped and modern in the world.
"It combines care and research in the best way," said Christen. "There is no better place for Schumacher at this time."

Schumacher's wife says 'most difficult time' now over
The "most difficult time" in Michael Schumacher's "struggle" is now over.
That is the positive message delivered by the F1 legend's wife Corinna, in a brief letter of thanks in the official 2014 German grand prix programme.
The message, in German, said the Schumacher family had been overwhelmed by the support shown by the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's supporters since his skiing accident.
"It's good to know that we have all come through the most difficult time together," Mrs Schumacher, whose 45-year-old husband is now in a Swiss rehabilitation clinic in the wake of a six-month coma, reportedly wrote.
"Now a period that is expected to take a long time has begun. We trust that in this struggle you will be Michael's allies once again, as you were for so many years in formula one," she added.

Schu might return home this summer
Michael Schumacher might soon continue his rehabilitation at home, according to the Swiss newspaper Sonntagsblick.
After six months in a coma, the seven time world champion was recently transferred from intensive care in Grenoble to a rehabilitation ward in Lausanne.
That is not far from the Schumachers' home on the shores of Lake Geneva, but Sonntagsblick claims the 45-year-old German could return home "during the course of the summer".
The report cited sources close to the Lausanne hospital.
Mark Mader, the chief doctor at a rehabilitation hospital in Basel, Switzerland, said that while home care is "difficult" for the family, "it is optimal" for patients like Schumacher.

Schumacher medical records suspect commits suicide
The Michael Schumacher camp is "stunned and shocked" as the story of the F1 legend's skiing crash and recovery took a tragic twist this week.
It emerges that a man detained in Switzerland for stealing the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's medical records in June has hung himself in jail.
"We are stunned and shocked," Schumacher's manager and spokeswoman Sabine Kehm told the German newspaper Bild.
The newspaper said the Schumacher camp did not even know that a suspect in the case, who police confirmed was arrested on Tuesday, had even been detained.
The Zurich prosecutors' office said the man who apparently committed suicide was an executive of the Swiss helicopter rescue company, Rega, who had organised Schumacher's transfer from intensive care in Grenoble to a rehabilitation clinic in Lausanne in June.
It is expected that the investigation into the attempted sale of the medical records to members of the press will now be closed.
The man reportedly denied any wrongdoing during interrogations on Tuesday but was detained in a Zurich police holding cell, where he hung himself on Wednesday before a scheduled court hearing.

Jean Todt says Michael Schumacher will get well within a short period of time
Although the friendship between a Frenchie and German native isn't the best there is due to, ahem ahem, historical reasons, the former Scuedia Ferrari big guy declared that Michael "can lead a relatively normal life again within a short period of time."
General manager of the Ferrari Formula 1 team from 1993 to 2007, Todt was the man that orchestrated the efforts of the Scuderia's engineering and race strategy team, as well as Michael's fulminating success and those seven drivers' championship titles.
Todt was also the man that asked the then double world champion to join the Scuderia at the end of the 1995 season. That basically sums up how deep of a connection there is between the French mastermind and the German racing talent. When Michael had his unfortunate ski accident, Todt was one of the first motorsport figures to speak publicly about Michael's terrible skiing accident from December 29th, 2013.
The 68-year-old French motorsport executive returns with a new statement regarding Michael, telling Hello Magazine that "we can say he can probably never drive a Formula 1 car again. But he is fighting. His condition improved, and what is just as important is the fact that he is now at home with his family. In the past weeks and months, he has made progress in relation to the severity of his injury. But a long and hard road is in front of him. Hopefully things will improve. His family is close to him."
This bit of Schumacher news comes roughly a month after the German driver's manager declared that his condition is table, but "the road ahead remains long and difficult." While Michael continues rehabilitation at his family's home in the town of Gland, Switzerland, another F1 driver is in a similar situation to the German's. Marussia's Jules Bianchi suffered a terrible accident at the Suzuka GP last weekend. Doctors operated him and now he's "in a critical but stable condition" in a hospital from Mie Prefecture, Japan.

What a distasteful article. To open up a story about Michael Schumacher's medical condition with a joke about the Second World War is rather strange.
I certainly don't like what he said "we can say he can probably never drive a Formula 1 car again."
Well he is over 40 years old and already had retired from F1, what would make him want to return? What a stupid comment in my opinion!!
Also maybe on the other hand you can never know about the human spirit, look at Niki Lauda, he returned to F1 after that terrible accident that almost burnt him to ashes. If Schumi gets out of this and makes a really good recovery who knows what he will want to do, depending on his own ambitions and drive he could get himself in the training seat for future F1 drivers!!!

Schumacher 'waking up slowly' at home - Moncet
Ten months after his skiing fall, Michael Schumacher is now "waking up very slowly" from his serious brain injuries.
That is the claim of the respected French F1 commentator Jean-Louis Moncet, who told Europe 1 radio he recently spoke about the seven time world champion's condition with Schumacher's kart-racing son Mick.
"I saw his son and he told me that Schumi is waking up very slowly; very slowly," said Moncet.
Recently, Schumacher left a rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland and returned home to his estate on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Moncet continued: "Although things are going at a slow pace, he (Schumacher) has a lot of time, I would say his whole life in front of him to get back on track."
Moncet, 69, also revealed more information about the way Schumacher was injured when he fell and struck a rock whilst skiing with Mick in France last late December.
"The problem for Michael was not the hit, but the mounting of the Go-Pro (camera) that he had on his helmet that injured his brain," he said.

Friend admits future unclear for Schumacher
Former F1 doctor Gary Hartstein has expressed doubt Michael Schumacher will ever recover from his ski crash brain injuries.
Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper claims the F1 legend's wife Corinna is spending $160,000 on his care at their Swiss estate, including an around-the-clock medical team and state-of-the-art equipment.
But the newspaper believes Schumacher, 45, remains in a 'minimally conscious' state, and is not yet even sitting up unaided let alone walk or talk.
Hartstein, who has been outspoken throughout the Schumacher family's ordeal in 2014, thinks it is worrying that so little is known officially about the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's progress.
"As time goes on it becomes less and less likely that Michael will emerge to any significant extent," he said, speculating that - in effect - Schumacher remains basically comatose.
"Life expectancy for a comatose patient who does not improve neurologically is measured in months to a relatively few years," said Hartstein.
The newspaper's correspondents Allan Hall and Olga Craig quoted a long-time friend of the family as agreeing that the outlook for Schumacher's future is unclear.
"Will he speak again? Will he walk again? Will he be able to feed and dress himself? The doctors don't know. No one can know," the unnamed friend said.
"The probability is that he will never be the man he was before the accident. That much is starkly clear."

Hartstein, who has been outspoken throughout the Schumacher family's ordeal in 2014, thinks it is worrying that so little is known officially about the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver's progress.
"As time goes on it becomes less and less likely that Michael will emerge to any significant extent," he said, speculating that - in effect - Schumacher remains basically comatose.
"Life expectancy for a comatose patient who does not improve neurologically is measured in months to a relatively few years," said Hartstein.
The newspaper's correspondents Allan Hall and Olga Craig quoted a long-time friend of the family as agreeing that the outlook for Schumacher's future is unclear.
"Will he speak again? Will he walk again? Will he be able to feed and dress himself? The doctors don't know. No one can know," the unnamed friend said.
"The probability is that he will never be the man he was before the accident. That much is starkly clear."
