Sounds like it could be serious. Hope Herr Schumacher is alright.

Yep, hope it's not bad. This is the French report auto translated, for what it's worth with so little info. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl...

Hope he's alright.

Sounds serious. He may have been a cock on track but he was a very friendly man when I met him. Always been good to fans.
Hope he's ok

[Jasandjules]

Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

[smegmore]

Just reported on Sky news that he has a 'serious' head injury and his condition is 'unknown' at the moment.

Let's hope he makes a full recovery.

[Chipmunk1]

Speedy recovery !

[gaz1234]

Doesn't sound good.

[backwoodsman]

Hope he isn't too badly injured, and gets better very quickly.

Ah, good news.

[TheAngryDog]

Sensibly he was wearing a helmet so its likely he should be ok.

Wonder how many skiiers don't wear helmets who end up having a nasty accident.

Good news

[The Nur]

I wouldn't put all my faith in the BBC though, I must admit.

They're not treating him though, are they?

BT Sport said:

Gernignon Christophe Lecomte, director of the Méribel resort was quoted by Radio Monte Carlo Sport as saying the former racing driver hit his head against a rock in the accident which happened at 11.07am local time. Schumacher had been wearing a helmet.

Lecomte said on rmcsport.bfmtv.com: "Help responded quickly, at 1115. He was airlifted and taken to hospital in Moutiers. He was shocked, a little shaken but conscious.

"It may be a head injury but it is not very serious."

Lecomte is the only source of that information, so when the director of a holiday resort states something always assume it might be to protect his business.

I'd wait for official news.
