Fans continue to look out for updates on German Formula One racer Michael Schumacher's health. So far, reports say that Schumacher hasn't fully completed his journey to recovery yet.

It's been almost three years since the record-holder Formula One driver was left in critical condition following a skiing accident while away on a family vacation in the French Alps. There hasn't been any mention that Schumacher is doing better. In fact, latest reports say that he continues to be immobile.

There's is reportedly not much progress in his condition and it was said that his recovery at a rehabilitation facility in Switzerland is slow. Despite the modern facilities that the rehabilitation center offers, Schumacher isn't gaining back his mobility. The good news is that he already has a reaction to his surroundings, as confirmed by former Ferrari chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. "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," he added.

It was also reported by Christian Times that Schumacher has started to communicate with his family but only through tears. It is said that the only way the ex-racer can express his emotions is by crying, especially when he hears the voices of his family.

Schumacher continues to be cared for by a team of medical specialists headed by Dr. Jean-Francois Payen, who is attending to all his needs 24/7. Despite the availability of this team of experts, Schumacher is still bound to a wheelchair, HNGN reported.

While the F1 champ is still in recovery, his kids continue to excel in their chosen field of sports, making their father proud. His 17-year-old son Mick recently won a Formula One race at Nurburgring. On the other hand, the 19-year-old Gina recently won the 2016 SVAG FEI European Reining Championships for Young Riders 2016 in Switzerland.
