It is unlikely racing legend Michael Schumacher will ever recover from the skiing accident that has left him in a coma, according to Formula One's former chief doctor.
Doctor Gary Hartstein, who was F1 medical delegate until 2012, said: "As time goes on, it becomes less and less likely that Michael will emerge to any significant extent."
Writing on his blog, he said "serious lapses" in the early treatment of Schumacher "almost certainly" worsened his condition.
Dr Hartstein said he had learned "from usually impeccable sources who have access to this information" that mistakes were made soon after the seven-time world champion hit the right side of his head on a rock in December.
"I think that serious lapses in judgement were evident during Michael's initial management ... these lapses could (and almost certainly did) worsen the outcome in Michael's case."
Schumacher retired in 2006 but came back for a second time in 2009 He stressed in another blog post that he was not criticising Grenoble University Hospital, where the 45-year-old is currently being treated, or any member of the team sent to the Meribel ski resort to treat him.
Rather, he said he was taking issue with "a system that allows head injured patients to be brought to non-neurosurgical centres, in the absence of other clear reasons to do so".
He added: "The delay in admission to a neurosurgeon, as well as deferred airway control, cannot have been good for a severely injured brain."
Schumacher was initially taken to Moutiers Hospital before being transferred to the facility in Grenoble.
The slope where Michael Schumacher fell Sky News contacted the resort to ask about the hospital transfer but a spokesman said they would not comment.
In the last update on Schumacher's condition, on March 12, his agent said he was showing "small signs of encouragement".
"We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up," Sabine Kehm said.
Dr Hartstein said the sporadic updates on Schumacher's condition might have allowed fans to "process what's happening and start to … detach".
"Somehow, I get the feeling that people are going to be ok, no matter what happens, because they've now had the time to process this all."
