[Victor McDade]

Hope he pulls through.

From the most recent reports it sounds very serious

[Mojocvh]

Pretty shocking news.
Fingers crossed Mikey can not only pull through but recover fully.

Sky news 501 saying the opposite that he arrived at the hospital in a coma but was aparently talking after the accident at the sceane.

Not what the hospital report says but they could know later news (or just be st at French)

Could he have been put in an induced coma at the first hospital though, meaning he would have arrived at the current hospital in a coma?

Hospital sources say that the Formula 1 legend's wife, Corinna, son, Mick, 14, with whom he was skiing when he fell, and daughter Gina-Marie are all at his bedside.

Surgeon Professor Gerard Saillant, a personal friend, dashed from Paris to the hospital to treat the German.

Michael, hang on in there. Hope you make a full recovery.

Coma due to deteriorating condition, not induced

[Nick_MSM]

Very sad news. Thoughts to Michael and his family, hoping to hear some better news in the morning.

[TTmonkey]

Makings of a tragedy. Good luck Michael.

Does seem a lot more serious than first reported.

Hoping for a complete recovery, like others have said involved in f1 for many years and then injured doing something for fun.

I agree with the sentiment, and I hope he makes a full and quick recovery.

However, you make it sound like getting paid millions to travel the world racing F1 cars is less fun than going on a skiing holiday

[nonplussed]

Shocking news. Fingers crossed he makes it through.

[sherbert90]

Come on Schumacher. I'm in complete disbelief.

Like him or loathe him, he is rightly regarded as one of the greats of F1. Absolute bd on the track, a gent off it.

He has to pull through. Has to.

[M3333]

Fingers crossed, really upset reading this news. Hoping he makes a full recovery, thoughts for his family, awful situation.

[castex]

Come on Michael, you can do it.

[vescaegg]

fking hell please don't make this an awful end to an already stty year for motorsport fans

It's been really crap this year. So many good'un's lost.

Just says admitted to hospital after suffering a head injury and needed neurosurgery.

It does say he was in a coma on admission which as I understand from above posts is not great ie if there's a coma one would want it to be medically induced. Come on fella.

Pretty much what I was going to say. When I was a kid a friend's sister fell off a horse and was fine for an hour and then collapsed and died. Someone said on another thread that the nature of brain injuries is that they don't often show at first and the hospitals would be monitoring him etc and would, most likely, have seen it coming.

Fingers crossed for him.

Cheers

Yes, that is often the case, if there is a bleed, it may take a while before it becomes evident. That's certainly what it sounds like here.

Poor guy, very worrying development. Fingers crossed for him
