Michael Schumacher's family are still optimistic he can make a full recovery.

Michael Schumacher is showing "small, encouraging signs" of recovery from injuries sustained in a ski accident, his family said yesterday, while acknowledging the German Formula One legend faced a long battle ahead.

The family voiced confidence the 45-year-old would pull through after 11 weeks in a medically induced coma.

"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up," said the statement.

"There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient."

The seven-time F1 world champion was put into a coma after hitting his head on a rock while skiing at the French resort of Meribel on December 29.

Schumacher's agent Sabine Kehm released the statement ahead of the opening F1 grand prix of the year in Melbourne, Australia, on Sunday.
