“Sad, all those years driving like a mad man,, and he gets taken out by a rock on a ski slope.”
It says a lot about how safe F1 cars have become over the last couple decades. And Schumi has had a few pretty spectacular wrecks in his driving career.
I hope he pulls through this, but I know he probably won’t be the same afterwards.
You just never know with recovery from brain injuries. I hope for the best for him, but I always remember Stirling Moss retiring after his head injuries at Goodwood in 1962. He could still drive better than almost anyone, but he knew that the championship edge was lost.
I still consider Moss to be one of the greatest race drivers of all time, along with Tazio Nuvolari.
