Michael Schumacher remains in an induced coma and his critical condition has been described by doctors as 'extremely serious' following his skiing accident on Sunday.
The seven-time world champion suffered a severe head injury after hitting his head on a rock, and is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital in Grenoble.
During a press conference on Monday morning, the doctors looking after Schumacher made it clear just how serious Schumacher's injuries were, and said it was too early to offer a prognosis.
Professor Jean-Francois Payen said: "I would say that this accident was particularly serious and was dealt with immediately at our hospital.
"He was immediately operated on after a brain scan and afterwards his condition is critical.
"As far as cerebral care [is concerned], all the recommended treatments have been introduced, but for the moment we are not able to express ourselves with regard to Michael Schumacher's future.
"He is in a critical condition and his condition is said to be extremely serious. He is in intensive care."
The medical team confirmed that Schumacher was being kept in an induced coma to help his chances of recovery, having being operated on after it was found he had suffered cerebral contusion and edema. He has also suffered lesions to his brain.
The severity of Schumacher's injuries and his current condition means doctors are unable to make any predictions about whether or not the German will be able to make a full recovery.
Payen added: "We are currently not able to talk about after effects. We are talking about treatments and working hour-by-hour.
"We are going to try to gain time, and try to give ourselves some time. The treatments that are going to be introduced, we know what we are hoping for from these treatments.
"But currently I am not able to give you any more information, and cannot tell you what direction we are going in or what prognosis we are going to have."
Doctors do believe that Schumacher's fitness should help his chances of recovering though.
1 pobjeda, samo još 1 pobjedu trebaMichael Schumacher would not have made it to hospital after his skiing accident if he had not been wearing a helmet, doctors have revealed.
The seven-time world champion remains in a critical condition in a French hospital after hitting his head during a fall on Sunday.
Although he has suffered severe injuries, the medical team looking after the German said during a press conference on Monday that the incident would likely have been fatal if he had not worn head protection.
Professor Jean-Francois Payen from the Grenoble hospital said: "We believe that taking into consideration the very violent shock, his helmet did protect him of course.
"Somebody having this kind of accident without the helmet would not have got to here."
Payen added that judging by the extent of the injuries that Schumacher suffered, it was clear his impact with rocks had not been at slow speed.
"Taking into consideration what we have observed, that despite a helmet he arrived with lesions that were quite severe, the shock must have taken place at high speed."
Professor Stephan Chabardes said that the injuries suggested that Schumacher had hit the rocks with the right hand side of his head.
"I did tell you there were a number of serious lesions, but I am not going to tell you any details," he said.
"The impact was on the right side - he fell on his side.
"At the time of the accident he was agitated, but not responding to questions.
"He did not have a normal neurological reaction."
Ima on to, ipak je to Schumi!!
