Juan Manuel Correa: Formula 2 Driver Out of Induced Coma but Needs Major Surgery
Correa, 20, suffered a spinal injury and broken legs in the crash at Spa, Belgium on 31 August that killed 22-year-old Frenchman Anthoine Hubert.
The Ecuador-born American has not yet had surgery on leg injuries as his lungs must recover first.
A medical update on Friday said he was "conscious" but "not fully yet awake".
Doctors said it will take a few days until he wakes given he has been in an induced coma since the crash.
As of today, Juan Manuel Correa has been removed from the ECMO [extracorporeal membrane oxygenation] machine, life support and taken out of induced coma," his management company said in a statement
While this is great news and a major step in the right direction, he is still in a race against time.
