Fans of Michael Schumacher are converging on a French hospital to mark the injured F1 legend’s 45th birthday.

Ferrari clubs from France and Italy are gathering outside his hospital in the city of Grenoble.

The most successful Formula 1 driver in history is in a medically induced coma after suffering head injuries while skiing in the French Alps on Sunday.  He had been skiing off-piste when he fell and hit his head. His helmet cracked on impact after hitting a rock.

He remains in a stable but critical condition, his manager has said.

Doctors confirmed on Tuesday that Schumacher had shown signs of improvement, but was still “not out of danger”.

They ruled out giving a prognosis for his condition in the coming days and months.

But it is medically possible for someone to spend several weeks in an induced coma and fully recover from it.
