Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher is in hospital after suffering a head injury in a skiing accident.

The 44-year-old fell while skiing on unmarked slopes in the French Alps and hit his head on a rock.

He was attended to within minutes of the accident before being airlifted to Moutiers hospital.

Despite initial reports suggesting his injuries were serious it is believed that Schumacher, who was wearing a helmet, is not in a serious condition.

According to the Press Association, Gernignon Christophe Lecomte - director of the Meribel resort in which Schumacher was staying – told Radio Monte Carlo Sport that the ex-Ferrari and Mercedes racer was conscious, and was airlifted with 15 minutes of the accident.

The German's manager Sabine Kehm confirmed nobody else was involved in the fall, and was also quoted as saying: "Michael fell on his head when he was on a private skiing trip in the French Alps. He was taken to hospital and is receiving professional medical attention.

"We ask for understanding that we cannot give out continuous information about his health."

'Tis likely that "Schu" will remain in a "permanent vegetative state" unless...

Dat penises nose though

The Chin could live with the step but buggered if he was driving a penis nose.

I've only ever seen a sketch of one bloke's interpretation (ie 'guess') of what the 2014 cars would look like that suggest they'll have a 'penis nose'. All the other guesses have been very different. I'd be willing to bet scarb's is miles off when the cars get unveilled.

Force India looks good. Can't see the nose yet though...

Seems about right Harry, the step noses were interpreted differently by each team. Some were less offensive.

Last I heard before the family closed off communications with the outside world was he was still in a coma. Vegetative state is a different clinical state. "Permanent vegetative state" is certainly not what anyone has called it, because they don't use that term until the patient has been that way for about 1yr...

The truth of the situation isn't terribly optimistic, but spreading completely incorrect information is not helpful. This is about the best quality information (well speculation) we have since the family shut off communication to his many anxious fans:

Would be ok without the phallus nose

They should just make it a regulation that the very tip of the nose cone had to be wider and it wouldn't look so bad? Eg tip of nose width must be 'X' mm wide or '85-90'% of the width 300mm from tip

Formula 1 is to make another attempt to ban tyre warmers in 2015.

Previous efforts to introduce a ban have been scuppered because of safety concerns, amid worries from drivers about racing on cold tyres.

But as part of a raft of changes proposed for 2015, the FIA announced on Thursday that all forms of tyre heating devices will be outlawed.

The FIA has also ratified that the minimum weight of cars will increase by 10kg to 701kg in 2015 - which should help alleviate concerns that heavier drivers are put at a disadvantage.
