Michael Schumacher fights for life after ski accident
9:40 pm
Niki Lauda, the former Formula One world champion, has told of his "disbelief " over Schumacher's accident.
The former Ferrari great who won three world titles, told the Guardian: "I find it completely shocking and unexplainable why this great driver, who won seven championships in over 300 races and stayed alive, could have something like this happen to him. It's tragic.
"He was the greatest driver of them all, with seven titles."

Michael Schumacher’s helmet almost certainly saved his life and leisure skiers should always wear head protection, said the man behind the main safety measures in Alpine skiing.
"Without a helmet, Michael Schumacher would be dead," Guenter Hujara, said men’s Alpine skiing World Cup director.
"Schumacher’s injury is of the same sort as those suffered in recent seasons by (Swiss Daniel) Albrecht or (Austria’s Johan) Grugger. They were seriously injured but they came out of it and went on to live a normal life," said Hujara.
"Schumacher didn’t go as fast as they did so he has a good chance. Athletes have the strength to overcome such bad times."
