Hopefully we can get a replay of what happened to Bianchi.

What happened? :/

This is still so lethal, I can't believe this is still taking place.

Edit: When I say taking place, I mean like how could they even race with the weather like it is? Japan's not the friendliest circuits either.

Apparently he hit the truck sideways.

Alive but unconscious is what I'm hearing.

Ricochet · October 05, 2014, 07:29:57 PM

Thats better news then

elephants · October 05, 2014, 07:35:35 PM

flowering hell, sounds terrible.

Nige · October 05, 2014, 07:39:36 PM

Yeah, he's unconscious and has been taken to hospital by ambulance. Was to be flown by helicopter but the visibility is terrible.

Still not sure why a safety car wasn't going around.

The fact that they didn't show the crash is a tad worrying though.

Can only pray for the best.

Mr.Craig · October 05, 2014, 07:39:58 PM

Questions should be asked about why the safety car wasn't deployed immediately. Normally recovering Sutil's car wouldn't have been a problem but in those conditions the risk of another incident was that much higher.

Sutil went into the barrier. While his car was being recovered, Bianchi went off the track in the same spot and crashed into the tractor.

The weather is terrible and Sutil crashed, truck came in to tow away his car. They were still racing under a yellow flag but no safety car was called, Bianchi hit the truck sideways.

flower that's absolutely ridiculous

Nige · October 05, 2014, 07:53:34 PM

Taken to hospital and is unconscious, reportedly in a serious condition.

His car's now back in the garage being looked into.
