Not a good race at all, sounds seriously bad for Bianchi, fingers crossed

Former F1 driver Andrea Dr Cesaris has died in a motorbike accident, what a weekend for F1

Just seen a few pics of the car,very nasty indeed,

Hope Jules can get through this. Absolutely horrible accident - the roll hoop over the cockpit was destroyed when the Marussia went under the JCB. Judging by the mood in the paddock after the race it was a very very serious injury and the worst part is we still don't know much apart from that he's out of surgery. Hopefully it's a Massa type injury (out for the season and back next season) and doesn't have career ending consequences...

Very nasty crash. Hopefully we see him back in a f1 car,or at least not in the situation that Schumacher is in at the moment

I got a feeling that Alonso isn't going to McLaren due to his comment "i can go to any team I want when I want"

I think it will be:
Vettal to Ferrari. Alonso to Mercedes. Rosberg to McLaren. Button to retire!

from what people are saying he is in a coma????

Yeah he is Kenny, he hasn't been conscious since the crash. Had an operation last night but is not breathing unassisted at the moment.

Yep, in intensive care

Sounds like an horrific accident.

Saw footage of the actual crash! Don't know how he wasn't beheaded

I saw the footage too. It is utterly amazing that he is alive!

Unbelievably lucky!!!

Sad day for F1, just shows despite all the safety stuff Motorsport has its risks and always will. Let's hope Bianchi pulls through

Seems very unlikely that he'll ever regain consciousness...... hopefully that's incorrect!!

He's suffered a Diffuse Axonal Injury. It's where the brain moves inside the skull.

Most head injuries consist of this, and concussion is a minor form of it, however, if it is a severe injury, 90% of patients never regain consciousness and those that do are normally extremely impaired for the rest of their lives.

The biggest hope is that the injury isn't classed as a severe one, but going headfirst into a 12 ton piece of heavy machinery - if it isn't classed as severe then he's a very very very lucky guy indeed.

When Marussia distributed the statement - there were lots of comments regarding it being good news. It isn't - it's absolutely terrible news and reinforces the likelihood that we will never see Jules Bianchi in a Formula 1 car ever again

The things he was able to do in GP2, and with that Marussia (especially Monaco) makes you wonder just how he would have been able to do put into the Ferrari he's been testing in.

Worth a watch, the guy is so humble and likeable.
