The report said experts at the Switzerland hospital, where he is currently treated, say the German is using his eyelids to communicate with his wife Corinna, daughter Gina-Maria and son Mick. He is likely to be given an advanced wheelchair that he can control with his mouth to help with his recovery.

The seven-time F1 champion remains paralysed after waking from a six-month coma last month. Schumacher suffered serious head injuries during a skiing accident last December.

At the weekend, Schumacher's wife thanked fans for their constant support. According to reports in Switzerland, she told them: "The German Grand Prix gives me the perfect opportunity to cordially thank you all for the good wishes and positive energies you keep sending to Michael.

I have to say your sympathies blew us all away. Now, we are facing a phase which will presumably take a long time."
