As great a topic and as unconstructive as ever, there are two sides to the Michael Schumacher skiing incident story - those that claim a big rock was the main culprit for the F1 racing driver's head injury versus those that come up with theories such as the one with the badly placed GoPro mounting.
If you stay away from the superficial takes of tabloid publications from the United Kingdom and rely only on proper news outlets, only then you can get a little but factually correct glimpse on Michael's condition.

The last proper update on Schumacher was earlier this month, when sports commentator Jean-Louis Moncet declared on Europe 1 radio that he met with Michael's son. Mike told Moncet that "Schumi is waking up very slowly." Jean-Louis added: "things are going at a slow pace," but Michael Schumacher "has a lot of time" ahead "to get back on track."

Following Moncet's insight on Schumacher's health, one of the doctors that worked with the seven-time world champion at the Grenoble hospital right after Michael's accident offered further details on French radio station RTL. Jean-Francois Payen claimed: "I have noted some progress but I would say we should give him time… he [Michael] is in the best environment" next to his wife and kids.

On an ending note, Payen was asked about his own view on Michael's long-term recovery: "It's like for other patients, we are on a timescale which goes from one year to three years and we need to be patient."

Until further notice, #KeepFightingMichael
