Michael Schumacher is in a critical condition in a French hospital as a result of the head injury that he suffered in a skiing accident on Sunday.
A statement issued by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble on Sunday evening confirmed that Schumacher's injuries were very serious and that he had undergone emergency surgery.
It described Schumacher's condition as critical and said he was in a coma.
The statement added that Schumacher had suffered from a "head trauma with coma, which required immediate neurosurgical treatment."
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion fell while skiing in the French Alps and hit his head on a rock.
His injuries were sustained while skiing between two of the Meribel resort's toughest pistes.
Medical personnel attended to the 44-year-old, who was wearing a helmet, within minutes and he was airlifted to the nearby Moutiers hospital less than 15 minutes after the accident.
He was later transferred to the Grenoble hospital, which specialises in brain injuries.

Maria de Villota has been found dead in a hotel room in Sevilla.
The Spaniard was 33.
A statement on her Facebook page, signed by her family, read: "Dear friends: Maria has left us.
"She had to go to heaven like all angels. We are thankful to God for the extra year and a half that he left her with us."
De Villota suffered a life-threatening testing accident with the Marussia Formula 1 squad in July last year.
She spent a month in hospital after crashing into an articulated trailer while carrying out a straightline test for Marussia at Duxford Aerodrome.
Although she lost her right eye, she was able to make a full recovery from her other injuries, which included significant skull damage
De Villota was a former World Touring Car Championship and Superleague Formula driver, and daughter of ex-F1 racer Emilio de Villota.

Formula 1's sweeping 2014 rule changes will generate more unpredictable races because teams will all struggle to perfect their new machines, according to McLaren sporting director Sam Michael.
Michael says the scale and scope of the new regulations are too great for teams to be able judge flawlessly, meaning the new cars will have to be designed with far more compromises.
As a result, Michael feels there will be far more random results as reliability and performance concerns affect the traditional shape of the F1 field.
"When you have such a big change you will build in more margin than you would have previously," Michael told a Vodafone phone-in.
"Let's say we hadn't made changes, what you'd be doing is taking an extremely well known product and chipping away at marginal gains: a bit of weight here, a bit of friction there, some packaging.
"That has all gone out the window in 2014.
"You'll be in one of two positions: you'll push it too hard and be unreliable, or you'll be too heavy and want to take weight out.
"The approach is one of risk versus reward, and both those things will take time.
"It is pretty unlikely you will get it bang on; you just won't in all areas of the car.
"Do I think it will mix things up? Probably. I'm sure there will be results that wouldn't occur now."
Michael said he also expected unreliability to increase, adding: "When you get a big rule change the engineering structures are not fast enough to respond.
"It's something you have to cope with - as well as performance you have to get back reliability as soon as possible.
"There is no secret; getting reliable takes time and an ongoing dissection of what we have.
"Ultimately you are not going to have the same reliability you have on the current cars."
