Michael Schumacher’s condition remains unchanged, the German newspaper Bild reports.<\/p>\n
Almost a week ago, the seven time world champion’s wife Corinna urged the media to go easy on the struggling family, as Schumacher – whose coma has now entered a third week – lies in a critical condition after a skiing fall late last year.<\/p>\n
Since Corinna’s plea, neither the 45-year-old former F1 driver’s management, nor the Grenoble hospital, have issued any official updates about his condition.<\/p>\n
But Bild cited hospital sources as it reported that the great German remains in a stable yet critical condition, with his health having “not changed since the last statement of the doctors”.<\/p>\n
The widely-circulated newspaper said Schumacher is, however, undergoing new brain scans, as the risk of renewed bleeding and infections remains high.<\/p>\n
“The doctors want to see which areas of the brain are damaged and which are functional,” Bild explained.<\/p>\n
“It is not clear when new official information about his health is expected, but it could take weeks, or even months,” correspondents Nicola Pohl and Thomas Sulzer added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jean Alesi criticised another former F1 driver, Philippe Streiff, for divulging information about Schumacher’s condition to the media recently.<\/p>\n
Streiff visited the hospital in Grenoble and controversially revealed afterwards that Schumacher’s “life is not in danger any more”.<\/p>\n
“I was very disappointed and upset to see the French driver who did a press conference talking about Michael Schumacher,” fellow Frenchman Alesi told RMC Sport.<\/p>\n
“We must respect his family and leave them alone, and especially the doctors (should be left) to do their work,” he added.<\/p>\n
