Michael Schumacher urged to keep fighting one year after crash

There is a simple message for Michael Schumacher one year on from his devastating accident -- keep fighting.

Formula One's record-breaking, seven-time world champion is continuing his recovery from the severe head injuries he sustained in a skiing crash on 29th December last year.

After emergency brain surgery in France and nine months in hospital, Schumacher has been moved to the family home near Lake Geneva in Switzerland to continue his rehabilitation.

His close family, including his wife Corinna and two teenage children Gina Marie and Mick, have maintained their silent support by choosing not to release a statement on the anniversary of the accident.

Schumacher's son Mick, who is beginning his own racing career in go-karts, had been among the skiing party when the F1 star fell and hit his head on a rock at the French Alps resort of Meribel.

There were expressions of support for Schumacher, however, from the German racer's global fans and members of the F1 community, Monday.

"It has been one year already..." wrote Lotus driver Romain Grosjean on Twitter. "#KeepFightingMichael our thoughts are still with you and your family."

Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat also marked the occasion: "#KeepFightingMichael -- I know you will."

The Mercedes team, who Schumacher drove for between 2010 and 2012, said: "One year on, our thoughts remain with Michael, his family and friends every day."
