    Was there a need for a huge **** off JCB? With a handful of laps to go. The Fia try be safe but like bhaji said they couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery.

    They're not designed to hit solid metal, especially something like that with all the bits that stick out of it.

    The car will have shattered. Only hope is the back of the car took the brunt of the impact.

    It could just be he was knocked unconcious ans nothing else.

    Yeah, it could just be that. FIA to be fair can only report on his condition. They would not wish to release anything else at this stage that they did not know to be true.

    I would imagine "Unconscious" is the only description we're going to get for perhaps a couple of hours now.

    Bianchi's car is now back in pitlane with the FIA apparently.

    Roll hoop seems to be in tact, that allays my worst fears. Huge side impact though.

    Lets just see what happens. That second shot doesn't look to bad. I hope it's just a shock injury. Not that I even wish injury just to make it clear.

    Sky have interviewed Sutil, his expression doesn't suggest this is minor.

    By the looks of the car, I wonder whether he's had a similar accident to Sutil, coming out of the corner backwards and hit the JCB rather than tyres with his back left corner.

    Apparently photos show the marshals clearing up the remains of the airbox of the Marussia, as the airbox is located right over the driver's head, that's got me really worried.
