Hello agentf, here's a report from Riviera Radio today. Very good news! Miracle can happen  Formula One - Michael Schumacher is out of a coma and has left hospital in Grenoble. The 7 time Formula 1 champion had been in a medically induced coma since suffering a severe head injury in a skiing accident in December. His family say that he’s now been transferred to Laussane University Hospital in Switzerland and have thanked fans for messages of support. The 45 year olds condition is not exactly clear.

One of his fellow pilots stated that he was told Shumacher would not be in a wheel chair, his motricity was not affected, however his muscle mass has tanked and he needs to build up strength. They seem to hint that his cognitive faculties may be the most damaged. In that respect, so long as he can feel his family's love and devotion - there are worse fates. I'm sure he won't mind taking a back seat to his wife who will lead the family now. I wholeheartedly admire Corinna, who for me is the epitome of the perfect mate. I hope her family endures and thrives. I can just imagine what their children are made of, if they have a mother like that.

LOL Now we know the secret to how Corinna has been able to handle Schumacher as a mate - she excels at "reining", a rodeo thing where you stay the longest on a wild bull! Classic. Anyways, here she is, hosting a sporting event, smiling and enjoying life: You Did It Corinna! |

An interesting development... Michael's people reached out to inventors who created a chip that helps former coma patients recover the ability to walk within two months: Bionic Shumacher - YES!! |

I know I'm obsessed  This time, it's revealed that Mercedes never reneged their contract and didn't let Shumacher down. Talk about amazing corporate values. Bravo! Meanwhile, Shumacher is within days of going home. His plan for a clinic at home originally for his dad is going to pay off karmically, mark my words. That good deed will come back to him. Cheering for Shumi |

This is NOT about Shumacher for one minute... This makes me smirk; Ecclestone formally bribes a German court to get off his bribery case: No idiotwhat a racket. Just read this on Riviera Radio daily online: Formula One - A district court in Munich has agreed to end the bribery trial of Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone in exchange for a USD$100m payment from him , offered by the defendant under an existing provision in German law. German prosecutors accepted the offer from the 83-year-old billionaire who dominates motor racing. He went on trial in April, accused of paying a German banker €33m to ensure that a company he favoured could buy a stake in F1. He denies any wrongdoing. The ruling means he walks free from the district court in Munich and can continue running the sport. It also means Mr Ecclestone is found neither guilty nor innocent. His personal wealth is put at $4.2bn by Forbes, which ranks him as the 12th richest UK billionaire.

Bernie continues to walk on water!
From today's Riviera Radio online:
Formula 1 - Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says he was “a bit of an idiot” for paying a £60m settlement to end his bribery case.
Billionaire Ecclestone said: “They really didn’t have a case. Anyway, it’s done and finished, so it’s all right. I’m content – it’s all fine. This now allows me to do what I do best, which is running F1.”

Welcome Back Michael!
Sport's section of today's Riviera Radio online:
"Michael Schumacher has left hospital in Switzerland to continue his recovery at home. The 7 time Formula 1 world champion suffered a serious head injury in a skiing accident last Christmas and was in a medically induced coma until June when he was transferred from hospital in France to Switzerland.

Corinna, making a rare statement ahead of a cable documentary. Oh how we all wish he'd gone to Dubai too 😕 RT: ‘Michael is here – different, but here’: Schumacher’s wife gives rare update on F1 icon eight years after near-fatal brain injury. www.rt.com/sport/534237-michael-schumacher-wife-update/ |

I wonder why they feel it is necessary to make this documentary now. Corinna may wish to have gone to Dubai instead, but maybe she should have wished for him to not have a go pro on his helmet. The camera apparently caused damage to the helmet during the fall and thus made the protection via helmet obsolete. Also skiing off slope always is a risk. As a parent you need to ski responsibly. Not only for yourself, but also as an example to your children. Many skiiers overestimate their abilities and their knowledge of the territory. But the slopes are different every day and throughout each day, so you need to constantly adjust. He hit a rock with his skis and fell unto another, totally underestimating the dangers. IMO he was an adrenaline junkie and quite the bully during his active time. A lot of people hated him for getting away with critical manouvres that endangered other drivers and often caused them to have accidents. I think Frentzen disliked him the most. With good reason: Corinna used to be his girlfriend. My boss in MC was a friend of his (terrible boss, couldn't pay the bills or wages, but would go sky diving in the US with Michael and Corinna and then come back to show us the pictures and brag about it...while some of the employees had gone for months without salary and suppliers called several times per day to ask for their bills to be settled). I had Corinna on the phone quite frequently. She was friends with his wife. She was always nice, polite and friendly on the phone. My boss, his wife and his brother Ralf, who frequently came to the office, were not. Although I don't wish this on anyone, I can't say I am too empathatic. Skiing accidents happen all the time. Ask Liam neeson. They are lucky to be rich so they can efford all the help and care in the world without having to worry about insurances etc. So to sum it up, he acted irresponsibly and is now paying the price. Tough luck. Or as my dad used to say: if you get yourself purposely into danger, you end up getting killed. So in that respect Michael and his family can count themselves lucky...

Maybe it's because their son is now a racecar driver. I haven't seen the doc but I admire Corinna Shumacher as a human being. It's disappointing if he or Rolf were jerks. 😕 I wish his son well. When Liam Neeson's wife, the beautiful Natasha Richardson died here in Qc (it still makes me teary), our collective heart sank. Hers was not a high risk slope. Such that she walked away and refused care. I skied on the same spot a week or two earlier, and the following year I couldn't bring myself to even ski, it was so sad. She got the same care here of being airlifted as others do, up there. Still it didn't save her. 💔 I wonder why they feel it is necessary to make this documentary now.
