Injured Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher has been showing "small, encouraging signs" in his fight for recovery, his family says.
F1传奇式赛车手迈克尔·舒马赫的家人称，舒马赫在康复的过程中有“小的、鼓舞人心的迹象”。
"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through（渡过难关） and will wake up," the relatives said in a statement.
Doctors in France have been working to bring the seven-time champion out of a medically induced coma.
The 45-year-old German suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December.
He has been kept in a coma to help reduce the swelling（肿胀） in his brain
On Wednesday, Mr Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, released a statement on behalf of his family because of "an increasing interest in [his] condition in light of the start of the Formula 1 season".
The family praised the efforts of the French doctors, but also warned this was "a time to be very patient".
"It was clear from the start that this will be a long and hard fight for Michael."
