Well-known French F1 commentator Jean-Louis Moncet recently declared on Europe 1 radio that Schumacher is making progress "waking up very slowly" at his home in Gland, Switzerland.
Moncet told during the radio show that this bit of info comes from the mouth of Michael's kart-racing son Mick. "I saw his son and he told me that Schumi is waking up very slowly." Mick was with his dad when the unfortunate accident happened on December 29th.

In addition to the previously mentioned, the French sports commentator added that "although things are going at a slow pace, he [Michael Schumacher] has a lot of time, I would say his whole life in front of him to get back on track." The 69-year-old's remarks are similar to what Jean Todt declared to the media recently.

But here's a detail that was previously unknown about Schumacher's accident: Moncet noted that neither the fall or the rock he struck damaged his head. The French F1 commentator tells: " the problem for Michael was not the hit, but the mounting of the GoPro that he had on his helmet that injured his brain."

Mind you, the cause is pretty irrelevant for the condition Schumacher is in. It's redundant to point the finger at what bit or bob hit him so hard Schumi had to stay in an induced coma for so long. When all is said and done, Formula 1 and Schumacher fans alike are happy the seven-time world champ is together with his family and has made considerable progress in relation to the severity of his injury.
