Reutemann’s condition improves, out of ICU Date published: May 17 2021 Carlos Reutemann has been transferred to a general care ward after spending several days in intensive care following a digestive haemorrhage. The ex-Formula 1 racer was first admitted to hospital in his native Argentina back on May 5 and was initially in a stable condition until he suffered from internal bleeding a few days later. As a result, the 79-year-old was flown by helicopter to an intensive care unit in Rosario for ‘diagnostic studies and possible treatment’. Reutemann underwent an endoscopic haemostasis procedure after another haemorrhage and was later described as ‘lucid’ and ‘in communication with the environment’ following the operation.
