Friend worries about Michael Schumacher's health condition due to lack of recent updates

Mika Häkkinen, F1 racer and a friend of Michael Schumacher, worries about his friend's condition due to the lack of recent updates about his health.

This F1 champion competed with Schumacher several times in the past, but according to him, the most memorable was the Belgian Grand Prix in 2000. He remembers the great racer to be a "terrifically combative competitor" that day. "You do not win seven world championships by being soft-hearted, and Michael was never that; but he was a superb driver, one of the best in the history of the sport in fact," he wrote on his post on the McLaren website. That is why Häkkinen is saddened to hear Schumacher's latest condition, or lack of it.

Schumacher, a German Formula One legend, had a skiing accident last December 2013, and went into a drug-induced coma soon after. In June 2014, his manager, Sabine Kehm, confirmed that he's out of the coma and went into rehabilitation in September 2014. There has been a news blackout on the racer's status after that, as requested by his family, and fans are anxiously awaiting for any recent updates about the great legend's health condition.

Last May, according to TVNZ.com.nz, Kehm told in an interview that the racing legend is showing signs of improvement, considering the severe head injury that the racer suffered. At the moment, Schumacher is being taken care of in his Swiss mansion in Geneva. A total of 15 medical workers are monitoring his health and helping his rehabilitation. According to Kehm, the weekly cost is about $154,000, which isn't too easy for Schumacher's family. "But of course it will take a very long time for everybody involved to fight, and we are happy to take this fight," she adds.

Häkkinen finally added on his post, "Keep fighting, my old friend."
