Michael Schumacher's manager says the seven-time world champion is showing "small and encouraging" signs.
His family remain confident that he will "pull through" and complete the waking-up process.
Sabine Kehm said last Friday that Schumacher's condition remained unchanged. However, the latest news on the 45-year-old's condition is slightly more positive.
He has now spent almost 11 weeks in a coma at the Grenoble University Hospital and remains in the waking-up process. Schumacher suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps at the end of last year.
"We are, and remain confident, Michael will pull through and will wake up," read the statement from Kehm. "There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know this is the time to be very patient.
"Michael has suffered severe injuries. It is very hard to comprehend for all of us that Michael, who had overcome a lot of precarious situations in the past, has been hurt so terribly in such a banal situation.
"It was clear from the start this will be a long and hard fight for Michael, and we are taking this fight on together with the team of doctors, whom we fully trust.
"The length of the process is not the important part for us. It is heart-warming to see how much sympathy his family is shown and I can say the family is extremely grateful for it. However, it should not be forgotten Michael's family is dealing with an extremely intimate and fragile situation.
"And I would like to remind all of us Michael has always actively kept his family out of the public eye and consequently protected their private lives. We try to channel all the energies we have toward Michael and we firmly believe this will help him, and we believe he will also win this fight."
