I'm not going to transcribe it here but would recommend those interested read it.

One point he does make at the very end is this :

"The future ? A long, long road. Months at least. Short term, the anaesthetic* needs to be lightened when intracranial pressure is normal and stable. That's the next big step."

* He's referring here to the controlling factor of Schumacher's medically induced coma.

The article mentioned above is available on the premium part of Autosport's web site.
