Doctors treating Michael Schumacher refused on Monday to predict the outcome for the former Formula One driver, saying they were taking his very critical head injury "hour by hour" following a skiing accident.
Chief anesthesiologist Jean-Francois Payen told reporters the seven-time racing champion is still in a medically induced coma.
He said the medical team was focusing only on his current condition.

"We are working hour by hour."
Schumacher, the most successful driver in Formula One history, arrived at the Grenoble University Hospital Center a day earlier already in a coma and immediately underwent brain surgery.
