It was confirmed by hospital that he arrived there in coma.
i thought he was oke when the helicopter arrived to him.
must have gone in to coma in the helicopter.
Seriously, would be terrible if he doesn't recover all the way.
Gutted and pulling for him. We need 10/tenths quali lap efforts now Schumi, come on!
I'm sure most people have F1 folk & journos on twitter but Gary Hartstein ( @former_f1doc ) is doing sterling work cutting through the bullshit floating around and explaining what the medical procedures are in these circumstances. He occupied the F1 Medical Car following Sid Watkins departure until last season so the man knows his stuff.
Edit: to clarify, from what we know so far he was conscious after the accident and went to a local hospital by helicopter, at some point the condition was deemed to be more serious and he was either induced into coma by doctors or fell into coma himself and was transferred to the ICU at Grenoble, also by helicopter.

And one of the reasons that could cause the induced coma was the needed trip to a better hospital.
But so far it's only speculation. Nobody in the press knows if it was induced or not.

what a shitty, inappropriate little article from the Guardian this is. Takes subtle digs at Michael as the man fights for his life. Fuck Paul Weaver, he is clearly still mad about things that happened over a decade ago and his unyielding snide, dismissive tone makes my blood boil. He marshalls forth Michael's achievements only to dismiss or diminish them with some caveat.
yes, thank you Paul for that bit of context, how completely appropriate you fucking tool

It is a fact that Michael and Ferrari dominated the most technically competitive era of Formula 1 ever. Stratospheric budget, unlimited testing, insane engines, tyre war, exotic materials, everything pushed to the very edge of the envelope. It was the very essence of what Grand Prix racing used to be about. The battle of the manufacturers, the titans. Today is gimped joke status in comparison. The man competed for every championship from 1994-2006 bar 3 years, one in which he moved to a team who were a circus act and another in which he broke his leg and a third in which the rules were turned upside down to target Ferraristone.
Snivelling little shits like Weaver are par for the course.
Critical condition and in an induced coma...

Heard on the radio here that the odds that he makes a 100% recovery are slim :/
Not sure what lasting damage may be, they didn't mention that.

McLaren must've sacked those responsible for this year's donkey?

Condition improves slightly after operation in the night to relieve pressure: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25558709

Terrible news about Schumi. I hope he fully recovers and quickly.. Poor guy, leaves F1 first time around and he gets into a biking accident, leaves F1 for a second time and he almost died! Just get him back in F1 permanently!!

Apparently he's stable now, though it'll be a while before it's know if any permanent damage has been done.

Any real F1 news?
No not really. We should start getting leaks about the new cars when people return from the holidays.

He already confirmed Caterham, I think. I hope none of the bigger teams will use it. The less exposure it gets, the better. Poor Kamui, though. I would've loved to see his first reaction to the nose, though.

Yeah, Lewis publishes images from his winter break on cross country skis on his twitter and website. People went ballistic ie "where is your helmet" / "you have no helmet bro" and how inappropriate images are...probably 99% of them never tried cross country skiing...

May as well have a helmet on for walking too then.
Early contender for post of the year. :lol

I wear a helmet for cross country mountain biking, and it's saved my arse (head) a few times. Just because it's not full on downhill doesn't mean you don't get up decent speed from time to time.
There's a big difference between biking and basically walking with skis on.
I think they'll do better than last season, engines willing, but I don't think the real benefits will be seen until next season or the season after.
+Merc engines. They´ll be a good underdog watch candidate.

Fair enough. I can certainly understand why people would comment given what happened to Schumacher though.
