Ross Brawn is hopeful Michael Schumacher will be seen "as we knew him".
The Formula One legend was left in coma following a skiing accident three years ago.
His recovery has been slow but his former team principal at Ferrari remains positive.
“We go see him and hope and pray that one day he will make a recovery. I was quoted as saying he’s improving and it was not what I really meant," Brawn told the Guardian.
"The family are conducting his convalescence in private and I need to respect that.
"So I don’t want to comment on his condition beyond saying we’re extremely hopeful we’ll see Michael as we knew him at some point in the future.”
