"Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Niki Lauda have written letters of support to Michael Schumacher. The Formula 1 icon suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in December and was placed in a medically-induced coma by doctors. He recently came out of his coma and left hospital.  Hamilton offered his support to Schumacher in a handwritten letter, saying: &amp;quot;Dear Michael. You are always in my prayers. Prayers of hope that you pull through this difficult time. You have already achieved so much, given so much.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;May God watch over you and show you the way back to your family, fans and friends.&amp;quot; Button also wrote a letter to say: &amp;quot;When I think of Michael Schumacher I think of two things.   &amp;quot;The first is of one my earliest memories of being in Formula 1 driving out of the pitlane in Melbourne and seeing Michael&amp;#039;s red Ferrari ahead of me scattering the leaves as he drove beneath the trees at the approach to turn three. Even in 2000 he was already a legend. &amp;quot;The second thing I think about is that familiar red car snaking about in my mirrors. Michael was such a formidable racer relentlessly competitive - Always There. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s fighting his greatest battle right now and I know everyone at Formula 1 will hope that he will win again. I certainly hope he will.&amp;quot;  F1 legend Lauda added: &amp;quot;Michael, every day I follow the news on your progress and every day I am close to you. I hope I will be able to talk to you very, very soon.&amp;quot; Schumacher&amp;#039;s wife Corinna also wrote a letter of gratitude in the official programme for last weekend&amp;#039;s race, saying: &amp;quot;The German Grand Prix gives me the perfect opportunity to cordially thank you for all your good wishes and positive energies you keep sending Michael. &amp;quot;I have to say your sympathy blew us all away! Good to know that together we made it through the hardest time!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
