GRENOBLE, France: Formula One legend Michael Schumacher remained “stable” yesterday as he entered the new year in hospital with severe brain injuries sustained while skiing in the French Alps.
The German racing great remained in an induced coma and a critical condition, with his wife Corinna, 16-year-old daughter Gina-Maria and 14-year-old son Mick at his bedside in the French Alpine city of Grenoble.
The seven-time world champion’s fight for survival after he fell and slammed his head on a rock Sunday has shocked legions of fans used to seeing him cheat death on the racing tracks.
“At the moment, he is stable,” the 44-year-old’s manager Sabine Kehm told reporters massed outside the hospital in Grenoble on Wednesday, in a brief update before heading back inside. AFP
