GENEVA, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- German Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, who suffered brain injuries in a ski accident last year, will continue his recovery at home, his manager said Tuesday.

Schumacher, 45, was able to leave the French hospital where

he had spent six months and continued rehabilitation at Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland in June.

The seven-time F1 champion fell and hit his head on a rock while skiing in Meribel resort on Dec. 29, 2013.

He underwent two operations before being placed in an induced coma, from which doctors at Grenoble University Hospital Centre began slowing waking him in late January.
