http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111979Michael Schumacher is in a critical condition in a French hospital as a result of the head injury that he suffered in a skiing accident on Sunday.
A statement issued by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble on Sunday evening confirmed that Schumacher's injuries were very serious and that he had undergone emergency surgery.
It described Schumacher's condition as critical and said he was in a coma.
The statement added that Schumacher had suffered from a "head trauma with coma, which required immediate neurosurgical treatment."
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion fell while skiing in the French Alps and hit his head on a rock.
His injuries were sustained while skiing between two of the Meribel resort's toughest pistes.
Medical personnel attended to the 44-year-old, who was wearing a helmet, within minutes and he was airlifted to the nearby Moutiers hospital less than 15 minutes after the accident.
He was later transferred to the Grenoble hospital, which specialises in brain injuries.
They just crave the danger, they must do.I swear racing drivers seem to do more harm to themselves pursuing other activities to feed the speed drug than actually on the racing track.
Got an example? I don't know if modern drivers would be allowed to do something too risky. I heard Hamilton got a single out or something last week. If he's singing, it might be dangerous...I swear racing drivers seem to do more harm to themselves pursuing other activities to feed the speed drug than actually on the racing track.
Button/Webber do cycling (Button doing triathlons and such). Webber broke his leg or something cycling i think. Kubica rallying (okay, still in a car).Got an example?

Well skiing in a exclusion zone........that's very very stupid......his own fault.That's just crazy so many years driving one of the fastest machines on earth and to get injured skiing.
Aye, that's true. Actually surprising BMW let him do that at all. I think decades ago F1 drivers used to drive other cars as well. Happens far less nowadays.Admittedly, it was another form of racing rather than another activity altogether, but it happened to Kubica who was an F1 driver.
Jim Clark died in the equivalent of formula 3000 a few years after he won the f1 title as wellAye, that's true. Actually surprising BMW let him do that at all. I think decades ago F1 drivers used to drive other cars as well. Happens far less nowadays.
The Guardian already has a weird article, very nearly referring to him in the past. It isn't looking good.
Medically I'm nearly certain.Was it a medically-induced coma or a natural one?
Medically I'm nearly certain.
Press conference tomorrow morning at 10am UK time
