    A report filed at 7.20pm read: 'The state of health of the veteran driver has worsened and his condition is considered life-threatening, according to our information'.

    Shocking news, to think how he could have been so seriously injured doing motor racing yet it was a skiing holiday and a fall that has caused this to happen.

    Probably did it trying to force someone of the ski run.

    I heard it on the radio on my way back from Forest game, they reported that it wasn't overly serious, so his condition must have worsened rapidly, poor f*cker (even if he is German).

    Reality is that these guys like to live on the edge.

    Chances are he was pushing the limits when he had the accident.

    In the US, many people think the Kennedys have been unlucky with many tragedies. The reality is many of them did some really reckless things - John junior being the most obvious example.

    For what its worth I take a more practicle view about it. The latest news is bad as he's now fighting for his life with his family by his bedside. Good luck Mike.

    As a racer he was a bastard and win at all costs mentality made him the most hated and admired person in F1 history. His team mate was only there to serve him.

    He was however probably the best racer in F1 history and this other german coont is boring.

    He was a multi milliionaire and liked to live on the edge hence skiing on a black run, but why take your 14 year old boy? He was wearing a crash helmet because he knew it was unsafe, so I dont really have much sympathy. He knew the risks and accepted them, but I hope he pulls through but wont shed a tear if he goes. Too much money and too much testoserone is not a healthy way of life

    The Doctors also said that Michael Schumacher's condition hasn't changed .

    He is "Still an arrogant German ****."
