Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has left a Swiss hospital and will continue his treatment at home after a devastating ski accident in December, his family said yesterday.
In a surprise announcement, a spokeswoman for the family of the retired German racing star said he was being moved from a state of the art medical facility in the Swiss city of Lausanne to his home in nearby Gland.
“Henceforth Michael’s rehabilitation will take place at his home,” Sabine Kehm said, stressing that “considering the severe injuries he suffered, progress has been made in the past weeks and months”.
