that sucks, one of the greatest f1 guys of all times !!! Thoughts and prayers.

Terrible news. A great champion and only 44.

Reports from France indicate Schumacher blinked as he was brought out of the coma and responded well in neurological tests.

I hope the original stig makes it out soon.

It is looking more and more likely that he will never fully recover from this. What a suck way to go for someone who cheated death countless times in an unparalleled F1 career.

Damn.

Injurys like that can literally take years to get any resolution. I believe it was Parnelli Jones that had a son with a severe head injury that took 4-5 years to get any semblence of a normal life back. He now has a family but still isn't the sharpest and will probably never take over his Fathers business empire.

Jones sold a car at last years Barrett Jackson and the money went to the group/hospital that saved his son and continues to do that work.

Sounds promising.

there's hoping. I think he might be the kind of guy who has enough burning ambition in him to get out of this at least kind of OK. But, on the other hand, who knows how much of his 'old personality' will be left after this serious brain damage.

Just read that 7 time F1 Champion Michael Schumacher has awaken from his Coma and has now left the hospital. Great news, even if it does mean a long, long road to recovery.

Fantastic news.

WOW! that is fantastic news! Get better Stig!

Having read about it further, it isn't that great news. He's gone from vegetative to minimally aware which very few people ever make a meaningful recovery from. This guy sums it up: http://formerf1doc.wordpress.com/2014/06/16/good-news/

He may go on to make a further recovery but it looks very unlikely and it looks like his quality of life might be really poor.

He's 6 months down the line and is minimally aware. That's the number one outcome you don't want from a head injury.

Jeez now some scumbag is trying to sell off his stolen Medical records!
