Michael Schumacher

Just seen on The news about his horrific injuries.. Only 44 years old. I was always a Mikka Hakkinen fan but I appreciate the difference That Michael made to the safety of Formula 1.and I really hope that he recovers from this.. .

He is one of my heroes, just can't believe it could end like this for him.
Adding my thoughts to so many others and hoping he fights as hard as he ever did on track.

I find it very ironic that this guy risked his life week after week on the race circuit, to be in an induced coma with brain injuries from banging his head after a ski accident, there is no rhyme or reason to life.

I suppose it's easy to make fun but love him or hate him (I'm in the former) he's an absolute legend in his sport and this is a very sad event. For the sake of his family and then his millions of fans, I for one hope he pulls through.

Rimms no way was I making fun, my son is a massive formula 1 fan, just pointed out one of the ironies of life, that you can risk your life week after week, and your hobby can put you in a life-threatening situation

Yes, but like Prince Charles friends a few years ago who where killed.  He was skiing off piste, which is extremely dangerous.

Echo girl. I don't think Rimms meant you.. Not is he a great racing driver but he helped contribute to making Formula 1 much safer. He was one of the ones who designed the safer driving helmet. Etc etc..
It is not always necessary to make a funny quip. Especially when a man's life is at stake and has a family and millions of fans rooting for him..

Schumacher is one of my sports heroes and as far as I'm concerned the greatest F1-driver of modern ages. I really hope he pulls through.
