Michael Schumacher to continue rehab out of hospital

In a statement issued today, Schumacher's official spokesperson Sabine Kehm said he has left the Grenoble hospital to continue rehabilitation and is no longer in a coma.

The statement did not say where the seven-time F1 champion was taken or give any details of his condition.

Schumacher, 45, fell while skiing in France on December 29 and hit the right side of his head on a rock, cracking his helmet.
