The ex-chairman of Italian car giant Ferrari told Ecumenical News: “I’m very pleased to know that he is reacting.

“I know how strong he is. I’m sure that thanks to his determination, which will be crucial, he will come out from this very, very difficult situation.”

Schumacher, 47, was put in a medically-induced coma three years ago after two life-saving operations following a skiing accident in the French Alps.

He has been at his family home in Gland, Switzerland, since June 2015.
