Michael Schumacher’s wife says former F1 champion is improving
The wife of former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher said his condition is improving after sustaining injuries in a serious skiing accident last year, according to a report from Guardian.com.
Schumacher, 45, was injured Dec. 29, 2013, at the Meribel ski resort in the French Alps, when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock. He was wearing a helmet at the time and doctors put him in a coma to reduce swelling on his brain.

He was transferred to a hospital closer to his home to continue treatment.
Schumacher won seven Formula One titles before retiring in 2012 and his 91 wins are the most all-time in Formula One history.
