Based on the press conference this morning it's extremely serious. He is in a medically induced coma right now while they attempt to control swelling in his brain. They said that the impact would not have been survivable without a helmet, so it was definitely a big one. If he pulls through there will be a very long road to a possible recovery. There is no way to tell just how much brain damage has been done just yet.

I hope for the best and that he can make it through and work on as full a recovery as possible.

Ferrari has announced it will unveil its new car on January 25 with its fans choosing the name of its 2014 chassis.

The team is allowing fans to choose from five options - F14 T, F14 Maranello, F14 Scuderia, F166 Turbo or F616 - by voting on the Ferrari website or via its Twitter and Facebook feeds. The name of the car will be announced on January 24 ahead of the first pictures of the car a day later.

The new car will be unveiled online and then will appear at the first pre-season test at Jerez on January 28.

Ferrari follows McLaren, Mercedes, Williams and Caterham in launching its car in time for the first test of the year. Lotus will be delaying the debut of its car until the second test in Bahrain in February.

I think it is a good thing Ron Dennis is re-appointed as CEO, but the affect might not be immediate since the build of the '14 contender is almost done and team personals are all set.

Michael Schumacher's condition is no longer critical, his management announced in a statement.

For the first time since his skiing fall almost three weeks ago, the 45-year-old German's condition was described on Friday simply as "stable", although he remains in coma.

"Michael's family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael, and they trust them completely," said the seven time world champion's manager, Sabine Kehm.

Kehm dismissed reports of recent days suggesting the great former Ferrari and Mercedes driver might never emerge from his coma, or that if he does, he will not not recover to full health.

"Unfortunately I have to repeat that any information regarding Michael's health not coming from the doctors treating him or from his management must be treated as pure speculation," she said.
