Yeah, just saw this too... Hope he pulls through - genius driver - petrol heads the world over will have their fingers crossed for him I'm sure.

[GMballistic]

Nasty. Really hope he pulls through. In a coma though on arrival so doesn't sound good.

[Dblock]

Ohh a german in a french hospital, I bet your seething.

 

I hope he recoveries quickly.

[Bems]

That's the last thing you would have thought he be seriously injured doing! Hope he make a full & speedy recovery.

[Bockaaarck]

Hoping for the best, sounds like he's receiving significant care

[Humpy]

Fingers and toes crossed.

Hope he gets better soon! Sad news

[Bockaaarck]

Olivier Panis not allowed to see him when he visited the hospital in Grenoble, which I can understand if Michael is receiving treatment for a significant injury. Panis was seemingly not given any news / updates on the significance of the injury or treatment he was recieving either, which is perhaps more worrying

Isn't that standard for non imediate family?

Guess it's just a waiting game, fingers crossed we hear good news soon

 

Good job he was wearing a helmet.

[R35LEE]

When I first heard this it said a non serious injury on the radio. Poor guy hope he makes a speedy recovery as he is one of the best drivers of all time

[Almeida1234]

C'mon schumi get well soon

[Dblock]

With brain trauma even if he does make it I hope there is no lasting effects. He isn't even old

Yes, I agree you're right, I certainly wouldn't expect Panis to be told the "in's and out's. It does however indicate tha the injury was more serious than initially reported.

 

 

[glrnet]

So it seems, sadly Sky are reporting that he is in a coma

[DoogyRev]

I hope he pulls through.

[WhackyWill]

So it seems, sadly Sky are reporting that he is in a coma

 

If you have a head injury that requires you to lie still they will put you into an induced coma,

 

So that's not as bad as it seems.

[ZEUS]

Bloody ell, the radio earlier said he was ok!

Latest;

 

The 44-year-old German suffered a serious brain trauma, was in a coma on his arrival and has undergone a brain operation, the Grenoble hospital said.

Schumacher's management confirmed his critical condition.

He was skiing off-piste with his son in the Alps when the accident occurred.

Schumacher was wearing a helmet when he fell and hit his head against a rock, Meribel resort director Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte said earlier.

Early reports had said his condition was not life-threatening and he reportedly walked away from the accident complaining only of feeling a bit shaken.

Mr Gernignon-Lecomte said Schumacher was attended to by two ski patrollers who requested helicopter evacuation to the nearby valley town of Moutiers.

He was subsequently moved to the bigger facility at Grenoble, in south-east France. His wife Corinna and two children are with him.

"Mr Schumacher was admitted to the University Hospital of Grenoble at 12:40 [11:40 GMT], following a skiing accident which occurred in Meribel in the late morning," the statement said.

"He suffered a severe head injury with coma on arrival, which required immediate neurosurgical intervention. He remains in a critical situation."

The hospital statement was signed by the facility's neurosurgeon, the professor in charge of its anaesthesia/revival unit, and the hospital's deputy director, reports said.

A hospital official declined to give more details and said more information would be given out on Monday, said Reuters news agency.

Experts say it is likely that his brain began to swell and the urgent surgery was required to relieve the pressure, says the BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris.

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

He made F1 exciting for me. Started watching it in 1999. Fingers crossed for him.

[JetSet]

Doesn't sound good to me I'm afraid. With this sort of injury the next 24 hours will be critical, let's just hope he can pull through.
