Formula One legend Michael Schumacher is “responding to instructions” as medics gradually bring him out of his coma, according to reports.

Citing “very reliable sources”, L’Equipe newspaper said Schumacher has undergone a number of neurological tests since Monday and he has responded “positively”.

The sports daily revealed on Wednesday that medics had started the process to end his coma by gradually reducing the dosage of powerful anaesthetic drugs being administered, Telegraph informs.
