Kehm pointed out several media outlets for inciting "false hopes" among fans and followers by reporting that Schumacher was able to walk again, Telegraph noted. It was also Kehm who reminded Schumi's fans of the F1 racing champion's achievements.
"We must accept it and hope with everything we have that with continued support and patience, he will one day be back with us," Kehm said. "Racing was his life and no one would have liked to have been here more than him."
