Lots of glum faces around the place during the trophy presentation, never a good sign as most are kept well up to date on an injured driver, fingers crossed he is ok. Memories of Senna come flooding back.

Sutil: "Situation with Bianchi is critical. Hope he is in good hands. I was standing right next it. Don't want to talk about details." #F1

Big damage to the front left of Bianchi's car and left sidepod punctured. Survival cell seems fairly intact, though. Hope Jules is okay #F1

^ That's somewhat good news

Some even saying he went under the truck. :-X

"I'm not thinking about the race, I'm thinking about my colleague," says Nico Rosberg, who finished second. "I've been given some information and it seems very, very serious. I'm hoping for the best.

"It's not nice to hear one of our colleagues is seriously injured so that's the main worry," says a subdued Lewis Hamilton. "Before that it was so enjoyable. You could see some commotion and the car was really badly damaged on the right. So we just hope he's OK.

Sutil: "Situation with Bianchi is critical. Hope he is in good hands. I was standing right next to it. Don't want to talk about details."

The rear of Bianchi's car is just gone but the major damage seems to stop before the survival cell.

Sky said 17th but it was a timing glitch.

Sutil would be feeling like crap.

Yeh no doubt he would be but hopefully he realises it was just circumstance.
The safety car should of been out there until the other car was removed entirely, easy with hindsight i know.

unconfirmed reports that Bianchi's head hit the crane...that's....not good
