Michael Schumacher remains in a stable but critical condition in Grenoble hospital in France.
The neurosurgeons treating Schumacher, who suffered serious head injuries following a fall while skiing at the upmarket Meribel resort, have no new updates since they performed a second brain operation, which is effectively good news.
The doctors have previously stated they would only hold a press conference if there was a change in the champion grand prix driver’s condition.
Schumacher’s management through long-time press aide Sabine Kehm has also elected not to offer any official press announcements.
The seven-times world F1 champion, who turns 45 tomorrow, remains in an induced coma with an outpouring of support from around the world continuing to spike on social media.
Doctors have said that the slight improvement in his condition, allowing them to perform the second operation, was vital as it bought the German valuable time after his life hung in the balance in the first 24 hours after his fall.
The surgical team remains steadfast in not outlining a prognosis for Schumacher however the longer he remains stable, the better his prospects are of overcoming his critical injuries.
The ex-F1 doctor Gary Hartstein commented on twitter: “If icp (intracranial pressure) stays stable another day or so they’ll (doctors) lighten it (the induced coma) to allow neuro assessment.”
Schumacher’s body temperature has been lowered to around 35 celsius to give his brain every chance to recover from multiple injuries.
His wife Corinna, daughter Gina-Maria, 16, and 14-year-old son Mick, who was with his father at the time of the accident remain by his bedside.
