Japan F1

[BratPack]

New reports are saying his condition has deteriorated and that the L'Equipe article was wrong  :-\

Also former F1 driver Andrea De Cesaris has died in a motorcycle accident  :(

God damn it, I really hope he pulls through.  :(

[Mr.Craig]

A few inches to the right and his head might have missed that thing. :'(

[Grazz]

That vision is horrific. His head hits he tractor so hard.  :(

[tbagrocks]

Got to blame those latte sipping Europeans for the late race start, so they can watch it at a time that suits their latte sipping schedule  ::)

Even the commentators said it should have started hours earlier. They knew on Thursday about the rain ::)

Not trying to be racist here but Ive always found Asian marshalling and organization when it comes to these things to be absolutely horrific. To take that long to get the car out of the track is just ridiculous, same with the Malaysian MotoGP a few years ago where Simoncelli passed away, the marshalls dropped him on the stretch on the way to tha ambulance 10 minutes after he crashed. The Europeans seem to be sooo much more efficient.

Has anyone seen the lucky escape in that rally recently?

I saw a link on The Age website - phew!

And then the footage of yesteryear's rallies! Wow.

[Mr.Craig]

Bianchi's impact was estimated at 92G. Unbelievable.

Bianchi family statement...

"It will be four weeks this coming Sunday since Jules' accident and he remains in the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi. His condition continues to be classified by the medical professionals here as critical but stable. Although we have no new information to give, we recognise that there are a huge number of people all around the world who are supporting Jules and willing him on in his fight. We owe it to his many fans to acknowledge the continued outpouring of messages, and to provide some information, however brief it may be.

Jules does indeed continue to fight. Although there have been some reports suggestive of plans for Jules' treatment, at this time his fight will continue here in Yokkaichi. We are taking things step by step.

Once again, we would like to offer our sincere appreciation for the patience and understanding being shown towards our family at this very difficult time. We also continue to be comforted by the knowledge that Jules is receiving the best possible care at the Mie General Medical Center, with the doctors here remaining in constant contact with the neurosurgeons at the University La Sapienza of Rome, and Professor Gerard Saillant, President of the FIA Medical Commission."

Bianchi out of artificial coma and breathing unaided but still critical.

There is footage of him the tractor and lifting the tractor into the air which is just insane as these tractors would weight in excess of a couple of tonnes. I was shocked when i saw it tbh. :(

[Mr.Craig]

RIP Jules.

[Grazz]

RIP Jules.  :(
