Left hospital or just woke from coma.

Too many differing reports.

Schumacher has been transferred to the University Hospital of Lausanne, the Swiss hospital confirmed on Monday (Sydney Morning Herald)

Moved to new hospital.

both mate.

Out of coma and hospital :)

Out of a coma doesn't mean that he is conscious, it just typically means that he is breathing for himself and responsive to external stimuli such as touch, whether there is higher brain function has not been revealed, as far as I have seen.

the coma was induced but they cut the medication to bring him out of the coma months ago... It's still obviously a massive positive that he's out of the coma now and has been moved from the Genova hospital.

Apparently when awake he is 'responsive', but the degree of that responsiveness has not been revealed. Highly unlikely to be the same after such a long coma, but there's no point speculating that he's a 'vegetable and will never see the light of day again' ffs

Michael Schumacher out of coma: 7-time world Formula One champion leaves Grenoble Hospital

Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is out of a coma and has left the French hospital where has been receiving treatment since his devastating ski accident in December, his spokeswoman said Monday.

In the surprise announcement, the retired racing star's spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm, said he had been transferred to a facility in Switzerland where he will continue his recovery.

"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble (hospital) to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Ms Kehm said.

"His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months."

The 45-year-old was transferred to a hospital in the Swiss city of Lausanne, hospital spokesman Darcy Christen later said, where the seven-time world champion will undergo further treatment.

"For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," Ms Kehm said.

No further information was released about Schumacher's condition, which has been kept under a tight lid since his accident in the French Alpine resort of Meribel on December 29.

He underwent two operations to remove life-threatening blood clots, before being placed into a medically induced coma.

His family announced at the end of January that drugs used to keep him in his deep sleep were being reduced with a view to bringing him back to consciousness, but few other details had filtered out since then.

Schumacher is well known for his love of adrenaline sports, and even after retiring from the high-risk world of racing, he kept pursuing other high-thrill hobbies as a pilot, an accomplished motorbike rider, parachutist, skier and mountain climber.

He survived a motorbike accident in Spain in 2009, during which he suffered head and neck injuries but was released from hospital after just five hours.

The accident on December 29 proved near fatal, but in several statements released to the media, his wife Corinna and two children said they remained confident that the man who defied death more than once on the track would pull through.

In Monday's statement, Ms Kehm said Schumacher's family wanted "to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes".

"We are sure it helped him."

Yep, he's out of a coma. Pretty safe to say that it'll be years before he's ever at another f1 event, if he ever makes it to one again. His head injury was bad enough that they put him in a coma. That has to say something about the extent of his injuries and the sort of condition he will be in. I think that if his condition wasn't so bad then there'd be more news and would've been more updates over the past 6 months.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
