Dear Michael, my great friend, you helped me so much in my career and I pray for you every day. I took part in my karting race with your name on my helmet visor and now I want to see you stronger than ever, just as always. I give you a big hug! Luca Baldisserri – Michael I’ll never forget when, back in 2000 you came and said some encouraging things to me after the problems with the car at Spa. Your message was clear – never give up. Now, I’m the one telling you the same thing. We want to see the old Michael again.

Michael I will never forget the lap when you gave me a lift on the sidepod of your Ferrari, when I stopped out on track with a problem at Hockenheim! I’m waiting to enjoy a nice game of football with you. Forza Michael!

Giancarlo Fisichella


Ciao Michael, what has remained with me is a memory from when you made your debut as my team-mate in the Jordan F1 car. My electronics engineer came up to me and asked why I wasn’t going flat through ‘Eau Rouge,’ one of the most difficult corners on the calendar. I asked why he wanted to know that after just one free practice session, as I wanted to get more confidence in the car at this fearsome corner and the answer was, “Michael’s taking it flat!” That was your Formula 1 debut. Now you have to tackle an equally difficult flat out challenge, but knowing your determination and your inner strength, I know you can do it. All the best Michael, hang in there.

Andrea De Cesaris



Dear Michael, not a day goes by at home without me and my son Giuliano talking about you, about your recovery in which we believe and the times we spent go-karting together. Now, we are waiting for you and we want to see you as soon as possible back on the same karting track so we can all race together again!

Jean Alesi


I have many good memories with Michael. I remember the first time I met him, at the Fuji Circuit for an F3 race. One year later he joined a Japanese F3000 race. We had qualifying tires that were new for him. He came to me and asked questions for two hours. He was already extremely professional, just like when we worked together in F1. On the track we were team mates, outside we were soul mates. We shared a great passion for sushi. Once I took him into a famous sushi restaurant. He exclaimed like a kid: “I have never had such a wonderful sushi before”. He’s a great man, I pray he will show his smile to all of us again.

Dear Michael, there are so many moments we have spent side by side. On the start grid for your debut in 1991 at Spa-Francorchamps. In 1992, when I was a Ferrari driver and you took your first win there in Belgium. In the years when I was a TV commentator and spoke about all your wins in a Ferrari. I lived and felt close to you, just like the thousands of fans to whom you gave great pleasure. For all these reasons and aware of just what you had achieved I asked you if I could have the honour of having one of your helmets, when we were at a charity football match for the Nazionale Piloti. Once again you amazed me because your answer was the umpteenth lesson of intelligence and respect. “Ivano (that’s what you always called me) I will give you one of my helmets, but you must give me one of yours.” Michael I ask you for one more present. Surprise me once again.”

My experience of Michael has been mostly as an adversary, but what an adversary! It is every sport’s person’s ambition to find out how they compare to the very best. Michael has won more races and Championships in Formula One than anyone else, so to have been in a World Championship showdown event against Michael is to find out once and for all how you rate as a driver. I am grateful to have had the chance to race Michael in some epic duels. He gave me that opportunity. I remember Suzuka 1994 as one of the greatest races of my life, and Adelaide! Sometimes you upset me, Michael, with the things you said, and I probably upset you too, by crashing into you! But all that is unimportant now. All that matters is that you recover and come back to your family. Wishing you all the goodwill in the world, Michael.

Dear Michael, first of all I am so very sorry that you have found yourself in this situation, sorry for your family, lead by Corinna and all the pain they must be experiencing as you make your recovery. When I reflect on our racing together I am filled with a number of emotions. This is because I met 3 Michaels during our time racing together. First of all the family man, remember when we ended up riding horses whilst taking time off in Australia, near to Cairns? or the after party in Hockenheim when we ended up singing karaoke together? Petra went in the pool at the end of the night! The racer, unbelievably committed and undeniably the fastest of our generation and that’s not taking into account all the records broken along the way! The blunt sportsman! On reflecting I feel it wouldn’t be correct not to acknowledge the few differences of opinion that we had along the way! I will always remember Spa 98 when you arrived at my garage during the race dragging Jean Todt as he tried to stop you entering the McLaren garage! Racing against you brought out the best in all of us, I can say without fear of contradiction that your talent, your commitment and the support of your nearest and dearest took you to a level that most of us could only dream. You gave my career credibility and made me work harder, drive faster and achieve more than I would have done with lesser competition. I have always admired your speed and commitment and I look forward to being able to reminisce over a Bacardi and coke about how the kids today don’t know how difficult we had it in our day ! Michael, I am thinking of you and your family, praying that this situation can be over and life can return to normal. With my greatest respect, DC.

I still like to believe he regrets "the" incidents.


Aryton would not regret, he used to make it quiet clear he would not back off for anyone.


Both Legends for Mine. :)
 
Saw it shared by FB friends and knew it would be due to the source. Just waited for it to be confirmed. That's one of the reasons I've not been sharing news anymore myself. So many crap news stories that just seem to be so the pap can sell a photo and that they can fill a few lines of text up with to get a link running on social media. Horrible usage of the situation by those parties, I'm not giving them views.
 
Anyways, just reading the false news about his wake up tell you it's crap.
He already been awake, not a lot, maybe 30 sec the first day, maybe it's 1h/day now, maybe it's 10min.
It's not a movie, he will not wake up tomorrow, walk and go at the next gp, it's a very long process. His family and close friends are going good to help him and we can only wait and think about him.

Yeah, even with an almost immediate wake up, I've known and seen a person slowly have to learn to do everything again like a toddler, learn to walk, talk, hold their bladder, etc. It's not pretty and your description is perfect: It's not a movie.
 
Look up the name "Ricky Ashworth +speedway" on google and you may see what it could be like. It is not a short process.
 
Yes I saw the news on NTV the say he has left the hospital in grenoble (change to a hospital more near to his home) and he is not more in coma :)
Yea he is still a fighter :)
