Just saw the breaking news on Sky News!! Horrible.
I hope he's ok. What exactly do they mean by 'serious head injury'?? The report is very vague! Is he in a coma??

Nobody knows anything yet.

Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel resort, told Radio Monte Carlo Sport: "He was shocked, a little shaken but conscious.
"It may be a head injury but it is not very serious."
He added: "He was wearing a helmet and banged [his head] against a rock."

I really hate when the media jump to conclusion! How the * did they come up with 'serious head injury'??? They should have just reported that he was rushed to hospital and that they are unsure of his condition!

Good to hear it wasn't serious. I was worried there for a minute.

Ahh thanks for that! Really glad he's ok though. I was walking with my drink towards the TV room and almost tripped and spilled it when I saw the BREAKING NEWS banner across the screen.

Not going to say anything definitive because there's been no official statement of such, but the news we woke up to is worse than it was when we went to sleep. Come on Michael.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Oh stuff it I won't be that much of a prat. Before I say this, just a reminder there has been NO official update saying this.

French media is reporting cerebral hemorrhage. His personal doctor has traveled to the hospital to assist.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Official statement confirms "critical condition" and in a coma. No idea if it's induced or not.

 

[Team DJ]

The same Doc that worked with him in 99 after his leg break is with him now.

He also did his neck surgery a couple of years ago.

The coma is an induced coma.

I'm pretty shocked- the first news I heard via the BBC was 'serious but not life-threatening'. Now this.

I wish him well- he is far, far too young to go and F1 has lost too many icons at a young age, not to mention he has a young family who don't deserve to face anything like this.

 

[alfy!]

Damn, after Anderson Silva yesterday and now this, this is a bad couple of days for my sporting heroes. Hope Michael has a full recovery.

Geez. Not something I wanted to read this morning. Come on Schu!

Time for win 92

Next update is 11am France time (9pm in Melbourne). All we can do now is wait.

With a year coming up where we honour the 20th anniversary of the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger it would be a huge shock if we lost Schuey. Thinking of his family at this horrible time.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

So sad. No one! was as good as him, the absolute best driver of all time. Hope the great man pulls through.

 

[Crows_United_FC]

OH FFS!! If they media can't find a credible source then they should just Shut the * up! They said early this morning that his injuries were not life threatening and now I find out that he has a brain hemorrhage and in a coma??? Typical crappy journalism!

Anyway, Hang in there Michael! The whole world is hoping you'll pull through!

The initial statement from the hospita was posted above, it was the update a few hours later that confirmed it. Media was running with the facts they had.
