Just heard he's in a critical condition in a coma, following a skiing accident. Hope he pulls through, but it doesn't sound good as he's friends and family are at his bedside...
Michael Schumacher, seven-time Formula 1 world champion, is in a "critical condition" after a skiing accident, says the French hospital at which he is being treated.
The 44-year-old German "was suffering a serious brain trauma with coma on his arrival" the hospital in the south-east city of Grenoble said in a statement.
Schumacher's management confirmed his critical condition, reports said.
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.
Mr Gernignon-Lecomte said Schumacher was conscious when he 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. His wife Corinna and children are with him.
The German, who is due to turn 45 on 3 January, retired from F1 for a second time in 2012.

It can be, but he was wearing a helmet, which should protect you from this kind of thing. I can only assume he had a big crash off piste

Apparently, regardless of your own religious views, praying for him will help his recovery.
