Fans continue to pray for the continuing progress of F1 legend Michael Schumacher, as his close family and friends continue to keep the health updates on the superstar private. However, if the supposed leaks are proven true, the superstar is already on the way to a continuous recovery.

It has been almost three years since Schumacher had serious injuries due to a skiing accident in December 2013. However, reports on the health progress for Schumi have been elusive and sketchy at best, as family and close friends continue to keep a news blackout on the superstar's health. However, this doesn't deter the fans, as everyone continues to pray for Schumacher's recovery and keeps interest in him circulating online with the hashtag #KeepFightingMichael.

Meanwhile, since the news blackout on the racing idol's progress continues, rumors on his health status make their rounds online. Reportedly, marked progress can already be seen in the superstar since his accident, as Schumi continues to progress toward therapy and can now reportedly walk. However, it is unclear if he can walk on his own or still with an aid.

Should the reports prove true, then Schumi's progress has come a long way since the accident. The skiing mishap over the French Alps left the racing superstar with physical injuries, but the most grave is the traumatic brain damage, leaving the racing superstar in an immediate coma.

Meanwhile, the family has yet to confirm the rumor, though Schumi's manager Sabine Kehm stated that they are still "learning to deal with it."

Accepting a lifetime achievement award on behalf of Schumacher in Germany, Kehm stated that, "I realise we would all like it if Michael himself could be here, but unfortunately that is not possible. We have to accept it and learn to deal with it. We will continue to hope and do everything so that it will be different again."
