Jules Bianchi Incident

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Post updates here & no pics of the incident.

NO BS IN THIS THREAD OR YOU WILL COP A DAY OFF

Here are the facts:

• Went off after Sutil's crash, collided with a tractor that had come out to rescue Sutil's car
• Taken to hospital unconscious, and taken via ambulance due to the helicopter being unable to fly

Those are the facts.

Just seen photos on twitter of Bianchi's car being craned away, all the drivers and crash structure appears to be intact, a bit of damage to the air intake above the drivers head though.

Fingers crossed for you, Bianchi. We're all hoping for you.

Just on Sky

Chopper could fly. Choice was made to drive

Not an unavoidable or unforseen accident unfortunately. There's been near misses with recovery equipment in the past I believe.

That's the danger - if his head collided with the bottom of the tractor it's not going to be good news. So avoidable too.

couldnt the race thread remain open to discuss the race?

Just seen another picture posted on Wihrlpool, showing the car underneath the tractor.....

My interpretation of images that have been posted on twitter:

Spoiler

It appears the back of the car is the part that went under the back of the JCB. It was the two rear tyres that were seen bunched together. Airbox on top in tact, the driver cockpit looks to be in one piece. Still worry is that such a huge impact regardless of where and what he hit can be obviously cause any sort of injury

Rosberg saying he's "received information, and it's very very serious"

This makes sense, because the FIA once delayed a practice session in the US when the helicopter couldn't fly. If they still ran the race when the chopper was out of action pitchforks would rightly be outside the FIA HQ.

Hopefully your interpretation is correct

Yep, from some other pictures I've just seen it does appear to be the two rear tyres that are sticking out from behind/underneath the tractor

Eerily similar to the Maria de Villota incident.

COPY A DAY

Can I copy sunday and replace monday with it?

On a more serious note, should be a serious investigation into why the safety car wasn't called when the initial crash happened.

I am guessing we won't here for a while how jules is, unless its bad news so here is hoping we hear nothing.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

My thoughts are with Jules tonight. Hope he pulls through.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Car was taken straight to FIA garage for Crash Investigation instead of Marussia garage or Parc Ferme.

Sky Sports.

Completely agree.

So do I

Completely agree.

Sky host trying to talk about the race. Brundle sounds horrible.

 

[ManWithNoName]

* this Sky bitch and her interviews off. Clearly none of the drivers give a stuff about how they raced.

 

[Smoooothy]

All the drivers that sky are interviewing look devastated. Like they are waiting for the inevitable

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

For the fastest cars in the world, I've always thought it's been ridiculous that Safety Cars aren't pulled earlier for all incidents were the car is stranded.

V8supercars have safety cars for the smallest of incidents.
