Two grave errors
German journalist Jens Gideon has suggested that two mistakes were made at the time of Schumacher's tragic skiing incident.
The most telling, after Gideon held a conversation with a skiing instructor named Andre, was that there was reportedly not enough snow on the ground.
It meant that rocks were exposed on parts of the slopes, making the conditions treacherous for any skier.
The journalist also states that three minutes may have proven costly in getting Schumacher the treatment he needed.
The F1 icon was initially conscious when first responders got to the scene and he was airlifted to Moutiers.
But Schumacher's condition is said to have deteriorated while he was in the helicopter and lost consciousness and the decision was made to fly him to Grenoble hospital after landing in Moutiers.
"Schumacher could have been in Grenoble three minutes earlier," Gideon said.
Heartbreaking statement
Schumacher's former boss at Ferrari, Jean Todt, is one of a few people outside of the family granted access to the seven-time world champion's side and he gave an indication to the former driver's condition this week.
Todt regularly visits the Schumacher family at their home in Lake Geneva and revealed how much his old confidant has changed.
“Michael (Schumacher) is here, so I don't miss him," Todt told L'Equipe."But he is not the Michael of before.
"He is different and he is wonderful manner assisted by his wife and children, who protect him.
"His life has changed and I am privileged to be able to share moments with him from time to time."

Emotional regret shared
Schumacher's old manager, Willi Weber, has raised doubts he will ever see the F1 legend in an emotional interview about his former friend.
Weber played a crucial role in helping Schumacher establish his racing career in his early years and stood by him for over two decades, but he's not been to see the German since the skiing incident.
“When I think about Michael now, unfortunately, I no longer have any hope of seeing him again," he told the Cologne Express. "No positive news after ten years.”
Weber also shared his "regret" at not visiting Schumacher in the hospital, adding: "I mourned like a dog after his accident."

Schumacher named 'ruthless'
David Coulthard has recalled how "ruthless" Schumacher could be during their F1 battles while speaking on the documentary, 'Being Michael Schumacher'.
“My understanding of where the limit was maybe more in line with the rest of the drivers,” said Coulthard.
“He [Michael] could be very ruthless, he could be cold, he could be distant. I think that’s probably what, at that level, you need to have to be that successful.”
