sports community, teams and riders, as well as fans of “Formula 1″ deeply shocked by the dramatic consequences of an incident that occurred on lap 42 rain the Japanese Grand Prix. Unmanaged car “Maroussia” at a speed of about 200 km / h flew over the track in turn Dunlop and crashed into a mobile crane, which carried out the evacuation of the machine Adrian Sutil – Sauber C33 from a powerful strike escaped suspension. It subsequently emerged (Directorate race long kept participants and spectators in the dark), the car Jules Bianchi was almost completely destroyed, partially deformed lateral part of the security structures, and the Frenchman got heavy head injuries. Jules Bianchi was taken to the medical center Mie Prefecture, where underwent surgery.
As of Tuesday information on the status of the rider is still not so much – we know that Jules is in critical but stable condition. At the insistence of FIA president Jean Todt Japanese doctors advising professor and surgeon Gerard Saillant, who took part in the treatment of Michael Schumacher. In the hospital, from the first minute until the last moment were Ferrari boss Marco Mattiachchi, as well as leaders Marussia Graham Loudon and John Booth, but on the eve of the Grand Prix of Russia were forced to leave Japan and went to Sochi. Although representatives of the clinic and a press center “Marusya” do not provide detailed information on the state of Bianchi, at least for a change in the situation in the medical center Mie monitor and periodically warn about it some journalists. Meanwhile, the head of the FIA, Jean Todt called FIA race director Charlie Whiting for an urgent investigation into the accident to establish the cause and make them publicly available before the start of the Grand Prix of Russia.

“It’s hard to comment, the investigation must put everything in its place – quoted General Comment promoter” Formula 1 “Bernie Times.- newspaper these days after the accident, the driver unfasten seat belts, steering wheel pulls and sound jumps out of the cockpit. I have always repeated that if and gets into an accident, then by car, “Formula 1″ – this is the safest cars in the world. But even they are not immune to accidents. What happened in Suzuka, for all of us was a terrible shock. All our thoughts are with Jules and his family “.
