Michael Schumacher in Critical Condition after Ski accident.

7-Time-World-Champion Michael Schumacher was taken to Grenoble in France after a serious accident while skiing with his son in the French Alps. The retired Formula 1 driver, 44, fell and severely hit the left side of his head and in a result was airlifted to a nearby hospital before being transfered to Grenoble.

He underwent his first surgery the same day and was placed in an artificial coma. The surgery was to help relieve pressure and get rid of any clots or hematomas.

Michael today remains in a very critical condition after a second surgery but is seeming to be showing a few signs of improvement.

Formula 1 drivers and other celebrity pals of Schumacher have tweeted and/or made public statements to address Michaels condition and share their thoughts and prayers.

I am also giving my thoughts and prayers to Michael and his family in this tough time. We hope he gets well soon and makes a grand recovery.

More updates to come tomorrow.

Sauber signs Adrian Sutil for 2014.

Early this morning I got alerted that Sauber had officially signed Adrian Sutil for the 2014 season, but no word on who he will be teaming up with. Sergey Sirotkin has yet to earn his super license, and I know there are quite a few other drivers who are currently without a seat including; Esteban Gutierrez, Max Chilton, Charles Pic, Giedo Van Der Garde, Paul Di Resta and some looking to return to F1 like: Heikki Kovalainen and Rubens Barichello.

Updates later.

Sergio Perez to Partner Nico Hulkenberg at Force India in 2014.

Force India announced formally that Sergio Perez is indeed the other driver for the team next year, and will partner German driver, Nico Hulkenberg. Rumours said that Perez would land the Lotus drive or head back to Sauber, who had him in 2011 and 2012. But both of those were false and instead he heads to London based Sahara Force India, who have welcomed him with big hearts and are already getting him used to the team.

Force India has announced that Nico Hulkenberg will return to the team in 2014, after having signed a multi-year contract. No word on how many years, or who his team-mate will be, but according to the team, it will be announced soon... Probably in a few weeks.

Nico was a driver for Force India back in 2012, partnering Scottish driver, Paul Di Resta, whowas also on the team this year alongside another German, Adrian Sutil. No word on where they have seats in Formula1 or if they even have seats at all. Paul is rumoured to be heading to Indycar.

Some names talked about for the other seat include Sergio Perez, who was let go from McLaren at the end of this year, and Esteban Gutierrez, who partnered Nico Hulkenberg on Sauber for this season.

More information to come soon.
