There was a cameraman filming Bianchi's crash wasn't there? I find it hard to believe Charlie didn't pick it up (unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of the camera feeds he receives).

If Charlie had seen it... He'd have got medical to that spot immediately. I don't see any reason to doubt anything in that report tbh.

I assumed that video is amateur footage. Certainly looks it to me. So Charlie would not have seen it at that stage.

Thank you for the corrections. Wasn't blaming Charlie I just was concerned with the way it was worded, thought he was trying to cover himself. Think he does fantastic work as do they all.

EDIT: A question which I have seen raised on other forums is - do F1 cars still have black boxes like aeroplanes? I know they *used* to because there were allegations that Senna's black boxes were wiped before they could be read. And I've heard a lot of people suggesting they should have them. But do they not still have them? That would clear up any issues with Bianchi's telemetry. Unless it's linked to the fact that the FIA's accident-detection systems were destroyed in the crash?
 
If these quotes are genuine, this is not good news

"The situation is desperate," said Philippe Bianchi. "Every time the telephone goes, we know it could be the hospital to tell us that Jules is dead.

"He will not give up, I'm sure of that. I can see it. I believe it."

He added in an interview with Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I speak to him. I know he can hear me.

"His doctors have told us that this is already a miracle, no one has ever survived such a serious accident. But Jules won't give-up

This is very sad news. I had hoped that it was something he could bounce back from and that we'd see him back racing, if not next season then the following one; now it looks very different. I found this part especially painful:

"I was very sad when [Schumacher] got hurt," said Philippe. "I kept wondering, like every one else 'Why don't they tell us more about how he is?'.

"But now I'm in the same position I understand. Everyone keeps asking me how Jules is but I can't reply, there is no answer. It's very serious, but he's stable.

"One day he seems a bit better, other days a bit worse. The doctors don't say. The damage from the accident is very bad but we don't know how it will evolve.

"Even with Schumacher it took months to come out of the coma. [FIA president] Jean Todt said he hopes Michael will one day be able to have a normal life. One day I hope we can say the same about Jules."

He added: "It's tough. In a week the life of this family has been destroyed. What are we doing here? Living a nightmare in a place very far from home.

It's very brave of Jules' dad to be so candid and I think we should be grateful for it.
 
Too early to say.. but it appears his racing days could be over, wish to be proven wrong here though!
Just pray he still has many many years to live, as normal as possible..


#ForzaJules!
 
I hate looking at this thread, purely because I always expect the worst. However the not knowing is sometimes more infuriating.

Regards the press reporting on driving standard under the yellow flag situation, it seems that the piers that be hold several drivers culpable of not abiding by the rules - hence the speed limiter trial in Austin. If I was a betting man though, I would expect that it is the potential defence for future litigation, but this isn't the time to be discussing it - IMO!
 
@LorenzoDL83: Jules mother "Some people say some things to break free from his responsibilities. Forced to remain silent?'s F1 is big business ..."
 
Former Formula 1 team bosses Ross Brawn and Stefano Domenicali, plus GPDA president Alex Wurz, have joined the FIA Accident Panel that will investigate Jules Bianchi's Japanese Grand Prix crash.

While Bianchi remains in a critical condition in hospital following his collision with a recovery vehicle at Suzuka, the FIA has pushed on in making clear that lessons must be learned from what happened.

FIA president Jean Todt said: "We will learn from what has happened, because we cannot be facing such a situation again."

In a bid to ensure the governing body's analysis is thorough, an Accident Panel has been created.

Its members include Brawn, Domenicali, Emerson Fittipaldi and Wurz. Led by Peter Wright, who is president of the FIA's Safety Commission, the panel will spend the next few weeks going over in detail the events leading up to Bianchi's crash - as well as make recommendations to ensure that there can be no repeat in the future.

A statement issued by the FIA said: "The group will carry out a full review of the accident to gain a better understanding of what happened, and will propose new measures to reinforce safety at circuits, with recommendations to be made for the FIA President."

The group will begin its work this week and a full presentation of its findings is due to be presented to the FIA's World Motor Sport Council on December 3.

The full line-up of the Accident Panel is:


President

Peter Wright, president of the Safety Commission

Members

Ross Brawn, former team principal of Mercedes, Brawn Grand Prix and former technical director of Ferrari

Stefano Domenicali, former team principal of Ferrari

Gerd Ennser, chief stewards' representative

Emerson Fittipaldi, president of the FIA drivers' commission, F1 steward

Eduardo de Freitas, WEC race director

Roger Peart, president of the Circuits Commission, president of the ASN of Canada, F1 steward

Antonio Rigozzi, advocate, judge at the International Court of Appeal of the FIA co-opted by the teams

Gerard Saillant, president of the FIA Institute and president of the Medical Commission

Alex Wurz, president of the GPDA, drivers' representative
 
Bianchi is stable: it is thought the move to Switzerland?
The fourth of the team neurosurgeon for the Friars will have to assess whether the Frenchman will be transported

There has not been any medical report on Jules Bianchi . Doctors Japanese Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaich i have managed to stabilize the condition of the unfortunate Frenchman who is in a coma from October 5 , the day of the Grand Prix of Japan .

Following the lead of Marussia, as well as the father of the pilot, there is now the fourth neurosurgeon pool of ' La Sapienza University of Roma to that in the weeks alternated in place of Professor Alexander Brothers , called immediately after the carve of Suzuka by Ferrari to assist the medical team in Japan.

The fact that conditions have stabilized Jules reveals some optimism that the pilot can be transported in the coming weeks . The possibility of a move to Europe is no longer considered impossible: it is not impossible that the unfortunate young trans can be admitted to the same university structure in Lausanne where he had been brought Michael Schumacher , after he was discharged from the hospital in Grenoble Following the serious skiing accident.

The clinical stable level cardiovascular and respiratory allow the long flight from the east of Bianchi, but the organization of the transport delicate take several precautions that will be evaluated in the coming weeks, as will be just the Japanese doctors to give authorization to transfer an air ambulance specially prepared.

Recall that Jules , after the horrific collision with the emergency vehicle in action in the gravel Suzuka to move the Sauber Adrian Sutil suffered a diffuse axonal injury that his condition remains critical.

But you turn a glimmer of hope: today the Bianchi family you have to divide by Jules assist, it would be much easier for parents to follow in Switzerland, the young driver who never stopped fighting for his life.

The return to Europe of Alexander Alumni Bravo 's assistant Nicolas Todt who followed every moment of the tragedy of Bianchi, working out with great humanity and skill problems who wanted to go and see, suggests that you are preparing for a major change . For the moment it is turned on only a faint hope. A flame that is always hope that there is a future ...
