Fans wear red for Michael Schumacher's birthday

Fans wear red outside the hospital where former Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher is being treated following his skiing accident to mark his 45th birthday.

Hundreds of fans have arrived at the hospital where Michael Schumacher is being treated to mark the former Formula 1 driver's 45th birthday.

The seven-time world champion has spent the last five nights in a medically-induced coma after sustaining a life-threatening head injury in a skiing accident.

Ferrari, with whom the German won five of his titles, said: "In these difficult days and on the occasion of his birthday, the Scuderia Ferrari Clubs want to show their support for Michael Schumacher by organising [Friday] a silent and respectful event all in red at the Grenoble University Hospital Centre."

Schumacher remains in a stable but critical condition.
