“These have been anxious hours for everyone at Ferrari since the news broke of Michael Schumacher’s accident,” the car-maker said in a statement. “The whole Ferrari team is behind Michael.”
Formula One team principle Stefano Domenicali and Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo were “in constant contact with the German champion’s family” and expressed “closeness and encouragement in such a difficult moment, with the hope of having better news soon,” it said.
Schumacher, the retired seven-time Formula One champion who often braved death on the tracks, remained in a critical condition after the off-piste skiing accident in the French Alps.
The racing legend, who turns 45 at the end of the week, had been skiing off-piste on Sunday with his 14-year-old son in the upmarket Meribel resort when he fell and hit his head on a rock, prompting an urgent evacuation by helicopter.
Vettel shocked
COLOGNE: German Formula One quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel said Monday he was shocked by the skiing accident that left his compatriot Michael Schumacher with a serious head injury. “I am shocked and I hope that he’ll be feeling better as soon as possible,” said Vettel.
“I wish his family much strength now.” Schumacher, who turns 45 on Friday, remains in critical condition after neurosurgical surgery at a Grenoble hospital, following his skiing accident Sunday when he fell and hit a rock. The whole world is praying for Michael.
