The news updates have been kinda contraddictory, some said the surgery went fine and the damage was only some skull bones fracture and concussion, then someone spoke about chances of serious brain damage, then ferrari said there's no risk for his life and when tomorrow (if) they'll woke him up from the pharmacological coma we'll have updates... to be honest I was not too worried, when they brought him on the heli he was keeping a bend on his eye with his hand and kinda "waved" too... then when I saw that pic (I think it's the exact moment they pulled him out of the car) his eye made me think "something is wrong with this poor guy".... but then again, earlier today they said he replied "nervously" but with no apparent problems to the questions the meds asked him to check his mental/brain state...dunno, it's all kinda scary and it's really weird not to ha a sort of "official" version on the whole story... btw, 2-3 cm lower and he'd have his head cracked open...
edit: I don't mean to be a cynical paparazzo (I think I would have avoided posting that smaller one too if I knew thins were so serious, but when I did psot it things seemed to be totally ok for him..), but have a look at
this closeup, (which is the same image "blown up" ) if you have the guts to, the helmet got fuckin' deformed by the impact, check the unnaturally curved line on the top...
now Barrichello is going all religious saying he does not believe in coincidences and that this is "a sign"...
