Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has left a Swiss hospital to continue his recovery at home.

His manager, Sabine Kehm, said the seven-time champion from Germany has made "progress" since a skiing accident in December put him in a coma.

She said progress has been made over recent weeks and months but Schumacher still has "a long and difficult road ahead".

The star has been in hospital in Lausanne since June, after spending six months at a hospital in France. He lives in Gland, near Geneva.
