REIGNING Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel said he was praying for a miracle recovery for his friend Michael Schumacher after a ski accident left the fellow German in a coma for five weeks.

Speaking trackside at Jerez in Spain where his Red Bull team were testing their new car, Vettel said it was distressing to hear the news of his friend and former F1 champion Schumacher.

Equally distressing were reports the 45-year-old - in an induced coma in hospital since the accident in the French Alps last month where he struck his head on rocks - may never recover and be left in a vegetative state.

Vettel, at times appearing lost for words, said he had known Schumacher for a long time and looked up to him all his life and the pair became friends when the seven-time champion returned from retirement to race again in 2010.

Vettel said when he heard he didn't think the accident was that bad but now weeks later he was still in a coma.

"We still don't know what shape he will be in when he wakes up," the 26-year-old four time champion Vettel said.

"It's horrible, especially for his family and close friends, not knowing what is going to happen. In that regard I think I am still as shocked as everyone else and I pray and hope he will just come back and the miracle will happen and he will be the person he has always been before."

He said with all the attention he did not want to visit Grenoble Hospital at the base of the French Alps where the Schumacher family is on an around-the-clock vigil, saying it was a time for family. Vettel said he did not want to distract from his idol's recovery.

Vettel's Red Bull teammate Australian Daniel Ricciardo also described Schumacher's predicament now as an "extremely unfortunate circumstance" and he too hoped for the best.

At the F1 formal practice session in Spain yesterday, ahead of the 2014 Grand Prix season where Vettel hopes to beat Schumacher's record of five consecutive championships, one of Shumacher's former teams Mercedes included the message "keepfightingmichael" on their W05 car for the season.
