Just goes to show the force involved in the impact.

Thats probably the best piece of writing/journalism to ever come from DC. Racing drivers are a stubborn bunch and its rare to hear that they admit they weren't as good as another driver even decades after they retire.

Agree with that,bloody good piece.
Its almost as if DC got a little bump to the head him self, its just a pity it took schuey lying in a coma for him to finally say something good about him.
Its a nice change from his dickhead comments of the last 3/4 years though.

Ah come on ffs :rolleyes:...theres thousands of people skiing, just because schumi had an accident doesnt mean everyone should be indoors wrapped in cotton wool! Also Hamilton has said many times that he spends all his winters for the last few years doing high altitude training in Switzerland. I assume you're another Hamilton hater anyway...

I dont really have a problem with lewis putting up pics but its easy to see why some people might not agree with it seen as he's not just anybody but another F1 driver.
Accusing him of being a Hamilton hater is a bit ott dont ya think.

It's been depressing the last few days thinking of him lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life so on a lighter note, here is a reminder why so many millions of people around the world are thinking about and hoping for the best for Michael right now.

See Hamilton (or whoever runs his page) put up some pics today on his FB of him out ski-ing over Christmas. Just a bit in bad taste at the moment I think.

Come-on Champ!!

Michael Schumacher coma: journalist dressed as priest tried to enter hospital room

I just saw that. A despicable thing to do.

I went through a three month period about ten years ago in which I watched every F1 race. Apart from that, I wouldn't be the most loyal of fans. I heard results on the news and owned a PS2 game. That will tell you how long ago my interest was :pac:.

Having said that, Schumacher was always the man when I was in school. I knew of his legend but very little about his individual races.

I remember hearing about his supposed salary one time. I worked it out that he was earning something like £60,000 an hour. I repeated that figure to everyone that would listen.

I measure a 'celebrities' worldwide appeal and recognition on the reaction of my mum (especially) and my dad to news about them.

Neither have ever heard of Kanye West. Personally, I think he makes great music but is a fool. My mum thought he was a 'she' when I mentioned him to them last week.

Because of this, I was surprised to hear them having a conversation about Schumacher's condition last night. It wasn't the most positive talk I've ever heard but it's a crude indication of the worldwide appeal of Schumacher brought on by his absolute domination of a sport for a sustained period of time.

I really hope he pulls through.

Agreed, nice to see some humility from DC.

This really was a very well written, measured account by DC which seems to have captured the mood precisely.

You know, I would have said the same myself up until they mentioned the decompressive craniectomy. If you don't know what that is, they take a piece of the skull out to allow the brain to swell but it is reserved for the worst of brain injuries. Also mentioned was the fact that the skull was "directly affected" by the crash, which leads me to believe that there has been a fracture, or a break in some place.

I'll take your word for it. I'm not clued into the lingo used for brain injuries.

Obviously the skull being directly affected doesn't sound too good.

Was at the Australian grand prix in 2002 and seen him win it. Was a crazy start to the race, 8 cars went off at the first corner!

I really hope hes OK. Ive seen him race live on on a few occasions. The first was at Monza where he won and when myself and my wife spilled onto the track with the tifosi to acclaim the win. Great memories. The last time was at the Spanish Grand Prix when he crashed out right in front of me in 2012.

He is a unique talent from a good and bad point of view but a great driver and seemed liked a decent guy off the track. From what I have read the doctors need to get the swelling down to assess the situation . Hopefully things will turn out ok and he wont have any long term repercussions like brain damage.

Strange to think hes only one month older thank myself so I was watching his F1 career from start to (premature) finish

Hopes he okay. Sending my best wishes to his famy.

terrible news its like happening to own family my idol growing up with rossi and max biaggi...

I first saw F1 when the 2000 US GP was on the telly. At the time I was 4, I just hopped on to it by accident and have loved it ever since. Michael Schumacher won that race and I supported him from then on. Even though I think Senna was the most talented driver ever, Schumacher is my favourite. It hurts me to say this, but in a place at the back of my head, somewhere deep down, just past the oil boiler and left after the stopcock, I've been preparing for the worst. Now don't get me wrong, I want to see him pull through as much as anyone, but just incase, I want to kind of have lifewithoutmike.exe running in the background, so that it isn't as much of a shock if he doesn't get that 92nd win.

If he's on hour-by-hour observation and they have nothing they feel is necessary to report then we can only hope it means that he's stable.

Come on Michael!

Or the family want to keep details a bit more private...

Hopefully no news is good news in that regard. I presume they intend to keep him in the induced coma for a few days and then gradually start to bring him round. Here's hoping all goes according to plan and he makes a full recovery

If he's on hour-by-hour observation and they have nothing they feel is necessary to report then we can only hope it means that he's stable.

Come on Michael!

Hope he will be ok
