Michael Schumacher, a seven time Formula One (F1) World Champion is regarded as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all times. Born on 3rd January 1969, at Hurth in West Germany, Schumacher holds many of Formula One's driver records, including most Championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions and most races won in a single season-13. According to the official Formula One website, he is "statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen".
But sadly, Michael Schumacher, the most successful driver in F1 history met with a skiing accident in the French Alps on Sunday, 29th December 2013. He was in a coma when he arrived at the University Hospital Center of Grenoble and required immediate brain surgery. It's still unclear what caused the accident. It is increasingly concerned that Schumacher may be suffering from Apallic Syndrome or a persistent vegetative state. Till date, F1 Champion Michael Schumacher is in critical condition.
"There is an open investigation going on. We insist on the fact that Schumacher was skiing off piste and his fall is not linked to an avalanche", says the resort Director Christophe Gerniguon-Lecomte.
