Michael Schumacher

I dont think it is a tragedy that Michael Schumacher is in a coma with a significant brain injury.

I think it was an accident made more likely by his choice of hobby. After more than fifteen years driving the most high-performance automobiles in the world he suffered a significant head injury skiing whilst on holiday.

I admired his ability when he was the best F1 driver on the planet. Used to watch him drive around every Sunday the races were on with dodgily purchased tequila and vodka and two or three mates. His ability shone through in an industry when automotons thrived. He was the most efficient of the most efficient.

For the sake of his family I hope he pulls through with negligible residual effects from the injury.
