I just watched it on the news, they say he first hit a rock, was thrown into the air -much like a motorcycle highside- and landed head first into another rock :( Very very unfortunate accident, and it kind of explains his injuries despite the helmet.

Yesterday the doctors said there will be no update today on Schumacher so they can work on him all the time. There will be an update when they have some news.

Good morning and happy new year to everybody!

Sabine has stated that Michael remains in stable condition, which I consider that is good news.

Well done Michael, you've covered perfectly another stint in this tough race.

"Michael's condition has been carefully supervised all the night and has remained stable also this morning. For the moment, the good news for today is that we will not hold a press conference because there are no significant changes. Still, the condition overall is critical."

Yeah, and how many of the news outlets showing condemnation of the journo's actions would've printed any information he was able to access and how many of us would've read it?

These idiots do these things because there is a market for it. Anything other than coming from the Doctors at the hospital or Schumacher's spokespeople is pure conjecture no matter how pretty the graphics.

What exactly was the journo expected to achieve? Ask MS a question or two!? Anyway, things are look a little better now. It seems he's out of immediate danger, the question still remains about how full a recovery is possible.

Wow. This would be even borderline for american papparazzi. I hope he'll get sued for this; hugely unrespectful.

Sorry, but I do not believe that story one iota.

The line when he was taken to hospital was that he was with his son and no one else was involved. It's then become apparent that this was an enormous hit from the extent of Schumacher's injuries, stories start circulating about how fast he was going and we then get this thing, hastily concocted, thrown to the media.

Had he fallen at a moderate speed it would have been concerning, but with the destruction of the helmet and the injuries sustained it's become clear this was a high energy hit so they've had to tack on the part about him being thrown into the air.

Sooo... What do you think really happened ? Or what is the motive behind changing the official story ? And how the accident happened is relevant because ?

Because those who can't stand him have a reason to say it was purely his own fault. Makes them feel better I guess.
