Having sustained serious knee injuries after his accident at Silverstone last month, Pedro's condition is improving and he is now regaining movement in his legs. It is hoped that he will be able to support his own body weight and walk unsupported in the next six weeks.
He left the Northampton General Hospital to move to a ward in the Three Shires, a private hospital in Northampton, and has now moved to the University Clinic in Nuremberg. Pedro will remain there for two weeks, and will then go to Tegernsee, a clinic close to the German/Austrian border, where he will stay for a further ten days. This is the clinic where Michael Schumacher spent last winter having has a successful operation to his knees.
Hopefully Pedro will then be able to return directly to Portugal, which should be just after the British Grand Prix.
He would like to take this opportunity to thank his many well-wishers for the cards and messages of good-will that he is continuing to receive.
