Michael Schumacher is out of coma and has left the hospital in Grenoble. He was treated after a horrible skiing accident in December, last year. Schumacher suffered a severe head injury and has been in hospital for several months. At the end of January, doctors started to bring him out of a medically-induced coma and now he is awake.“Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation,” stated Sabine Kehm, the manager of Schumaher.“He is not in a coma anymore. 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 family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him. For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye.”Michael Schumacher will continue his rehabilitation at a different location. There is no further information about the current condition of the legendary F1 pilot, but the entire world is hoping that he will make a full recovery.

Ferrari 458 Italia
The Ferrari 458 Italia is a completely new car: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics.Four and a half liter V8 delivers 570 horse powers at 9000 revs and 540 N/m at 6000 rpm. This makes the incredible 127 hp/liter from naturally aspirated engine.
Despite the fact that the new engine is significantly more powerful than the V8s that preceded it, the Ferrari 458 Italia produces just 320 g/km of CO2 and fuel consumption is 13.7 l/100 km (combined cycle), the best in the entire segment.
The 458 Italia compared to other super sports cars is a featherweight – 1380 kg with a power-to-weight ratio of 2.42 kg/hp and the results are more than exceptional: 0-100 km/h in under 3.4 seconds top speed of 325 km/h.
The low weight of the car helps a lot with the braking, 32.5 metres 100-0
Like everything else the interior is revolutionary too. The ergonomics are perfect and the main controls are all clustered on the steering wheel.
This car is a perfect proof that Ferrari can make extraordinary cars from every single point of view.
