Michael Schumacher's manager has released a new statement on the seven-time Formula 1 world champion's condition.
He is showing "moments of consciousness and awakening", according to the latest update released by Sabine Kehm.
Doctors at the Grenoble University Hospital in France have been working to bring the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver out of a medically-induced coma.
He suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps on December 29th last year.
It is the first official update to be released by his manager since March 12th, where it was announced that he was showing "small and encouraging" signs.
The statement released today (Friday 4th April) said: "Michael is making progress on his way. He shows moments of consciousness and awakening.
"We are on his side during his long and difficult fight, together with the team of the hospital in Grenoble, and we keep remaining confident.
"We would like to thank you all for the continuous sympathies. At the same time we again ask for understanding that we do not intend to disclose details.
"This is necessary to protect the privacy of Michael and his family, and to enable the medical team to work in full calmness."
