Michael Schumacher could be set to relocate to the United States.
Almost nothing is known about the extent of the Formula 1 legend's brain injuries, following his skiing fall in France in late 2013.
Now 48, the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver is reportedly supported by a team of health professionals as he recuperates in total secrecy at his estate near Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
However, German magazine Bravo reports that with Schumacher's condition still "weak", his wife Corinna has reached out for help from the US.
The report says that Schumacher could be transferred to Dallas, Texas, where he already owns a cattle farm.
There, a brain injury specialist called Mark Weeks has a clinic that could reportedly be a "new hope" for the Schumacher family.
"We have extensive experience with trauma patients," Meeks is quoted as saying. "There is probably no clinic in Europe that handles as many cases as we do."
Schumacher won seven world championships before his second retirement in 2012.
