Speculations have even reached Québec. TVA Sports is reporting that, according to Bild, who didn't not reveal sources, Schumacher may have suffered from lung infection last week.

I told them on their FB page to STFU when we don.'t have official press releases

Because of how it interrupts normal protective mechanisms, respiratory tract usually colonised within 72-96h after intubation. In this context, pneumonia(s) is (are) the rule not the exception. I'm not minimising them. ut this is certainly somewhere where Michael's superb pre-injury condition and resiliency will pay off big time.

Yeah, fuck all the millions of fans who want to know if their hero for decades will ever be able to function like a human being again.

Except that's far from what I've said, is it now? Good way to take my comment totally out of context.

Pneumonia has been denied by Sabine Kehm when interviewed for DPA. No other comments...apparently.

Where did you read that? I'm not saying you're wrong but what I read was that Sabine simply said that any unofficial reports are simply speculation and that she wasn't going to comment on them. She didn't deny or confirm whether he had pneumonia. So like everyone else, I'm not sure what the real story is here...

Michael’s family would like to again express their sincere thanks for the continuous sympathy coming from all over the world. The good wishes they receive help the family and, we are convinced they also help Michael, who still is in a waking up process.
As often in such situation no day is like the next. The family is thankful for one’s understanding that they would not wish to disclose medical details in order to protect Michael’s privacy. As assured from the beginning we will continue to communicate any decisive new information on Michael’s health state. We are aware that the wake up phase can take a long time.
The family continues to strongly believe in Michael’s recovery and place all their trust in the doctors’, nurses’ and nursing auxiliaries’ team. The important thing is not the speed of the recovery but that Michael’s heal process progresses in a continuous and controlled way.

The investigation into former Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher's skiing accident has now been closed.

A probe was launched last month following the seven-time champion's accident in the French Alps at the end of December.

Albertville prosecutor Patrick Quincy, the man in charge of the investigation, said on Monday "no person has been found guilty of any violation".

"The investigation into the causes and consequences of the December 29 skiing accident of Michael Schumacher ... has been closed on February 12," said Quincy in a statement.

Schumacher underwent two operations and has been in a coma since the crash.

Doctors in the Grenoble hospital where Schumacher is being treated said at the end of last month that they were starting the waking up process.

No further updates on Schumacher's condition have been released since then.

F1 teams showed their support for Schumacher during the recent Jerez tests, with Ferrari creating a special pitboard (pictured) and Mercedes running the message '#KeepFightingMichael' on its cars.

Not in the slightest. If anything, you could arguably say it could have increased the strength, albeit, by 0.0005%.

The cracking in the helmet was most likely caused by the low temperatures. Saw it in the snowboarding slopstyle event at Sochi, a Czech competitor had a cracked helmet after a fall.

“I always try to be optimistic,” Massa said. “I saw him, I talked to him, I was telling him everything I did in Jerez – about my car, the new team and everything – I was telling him to wake up many times… I'm positive. I think we need to believe. He's a very strong man, a very great man and I really hope he can wake up and I really hope he can enjoy his life again.

“It's always very difficult to say because I have zero experience about what the doctors say. I saw him and I was very happy to be together with him for a very long time, talking to him and trying to give the best energy and just help him.”

Asked how Schumacher looked when he visited, Massa said he took hope from what he saw but stressed he couldn't give any predictions or updates on his condition.

“He's sleeping and I was very positive because he was normal. He looks normal and he also gave some reactions with the mouth and everything. So it's positive to look at him. But I have no experience to say anything. I'm not a doctor. But when I saw him, for me, it looked very positive.”
