Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher is in hospital after suffering a head injury in a skiing accident.

The 44-year-old fell while skiing on unmarked slopes in the French Alps and hit his head on a rock.

He was attended to within minutes of the accident before being airlifted to Moutiers hospital.

Despite initial reports suggesting his injuries were serious it is believed that Schumacher, who was wearing a helmet, is not in a serious condition.

According to the Press Association, Gernignon Christophe Lecomte - director of the Meribel resort in which Schumacher was staying – told Radio Monte Carlo Sport that the ex-Ferrari and Mercedes racer was conscious, and was airlifted with 15 minutes of the accident.

The German's manager Sabine Kehm confirmed nobody else was involved in the fall, and was also quoted as saying: "Michael fell on his head when he was on a private skiing trip in the French Alps. He was taken to hospital and is receiving professional medical attention.

"We ask for understanding that we cannot give out continuous information about his health."

'Tis likely that "Schu" will remain in a "permanent vegetative state" unless...

Dat penises nose though

The Chin could live with the step but buggered if he was driving a penis nose.

I've only ever seen a sketch of one bloke's interpretation (ie 'guess') of what the 2014 cars would look like that suggest they'll have a 'penis nose'. All the other guesses have been very different. I'd be willing to bet scarb's is miles off when the cars get unveilled.

Force India looks good. Can't see the nose yet though...

'Tis likely that "Schu" will remain in a "permanent vegetative state" unless...

Last I heard before the family closed off communications with the outside world was he was still in a coma. Vegetative state is a different clinical state. "Permanent vegetative state" is certainly not what anyone has called it, because they don't use that term until the patient has been that way for about 1yr...

The truth of the situation isn't terribly optimistic, but spreading completely incorrect information is not helpful. This is about the best quality information (well speculation) we have since the family shut off communication to his many anxious fans:

for those that haven't seen check this out for a bit of detail about the engines for this year.

is it just me or do these newest lot of regs spoil what could have been some incredible engineering?

They should just make it a regulation that the very tip of the nose cone had to be wider and it wouldn't look so bad? Eg tip of nose width must be 'X' mm wide or '85-90'% of the width 300mm from tip

Formula 1 is to make another attempt to ban tyre warmers in 2015.

Previous efforts to introduce a ban have been scuppered because of safety concerns, amid worries from drivers about racing on cold tyres.

But as part of a raft of changes proposed for 2015, the FIA announced on Thursday that all forms of tyre heating devices will be outlawed.

The FIA has also ratified that the minimum weight of cars will increase by 10kg to 701kg in 2015 - which should help alleviate concerns that heavier drivers are put at a disadvantage.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
