Fans continue to watch out for updates on the real health status of former racer Michael Schumacher. Information regarding his condition has been scarce because his family has decided to keep things private.

But reports reveal that fans may be able to get more updates now because social media accounts have been set up for Schumi. These are reportedly going to be managed by Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm. It is said that these accounts on Instragram and Facebook will serve as a platform where fans can get important announcements regarding Michael Schumacher.

"Welcome everyone to Michael's paddock! We love to share memories with you and what better start could there be than the upcoming anniversary of Michael's first world championship title," the Facebook post dated Oct. 26 read. They also used the hashtag #TeamMichael.

It also said that beginning Nov. 13, the page will serve as a meeting place to bring together everyone who has followed Schumacher's journey. It was apparently made to show gratitude to all his fans. But apart from that, there is no solid news yet on the real health status of Schumacher.

Ross Brawn, a former motorsport engineer and Formula One team principal close to the family, disclosed that the former seven-time Formula One World Champion is showing encouraging signs. As of now, everyone is just praying that Schumacher's health would improve in the coming months.

Schumacher suffered from a skiing accident in 2013. He was in coma and stayed in the hospital for six months before being transferred to his home in Switzerland. Since then, several reports have surfaced with some saying that his condition is improving. But as revealed by Schumacher's attorney Felix Damm, his client remains paralyzed.
