Micheal Schumacher

Reports have emerged that F1 legend Micheal Schumacher is having his brain operated upon to see the extent of the damages.

German newspaper Bild said that it has obtained information from the medical team treating him in Grenoble that suggest there are still great fears of “unexpected complications” which may include brain hemorrhage or even infection.

Bild reported: “Doctors want to see which parts of the brain were damaged and which parts are still functioning.”

Other sources stated: “We don’t know when more official information will be given but it could take weeks, even months.”

Schumacher’s anaesthetist, Jean-François Payen, was quoted as saying: “We judge him to be in a very serious situation. We cannot predict the future for Michael Schumacher.

“After the operation we saw that we had been able to eliminate these haematoma but also sadly the appearance of various bilateral lesions.

“So therefore he was taken to intensive care to try to help.”

The seven-time world racing champion has been in an artificially induced coma since 16 days.
