Jules Bianchi Suffers Severe Head Injury
Very sad news that we didn't want to hear
I thought that we could probably do with a separate thread to discuss this and keep track of his condition.

This is terrible news. In my humble opinion, Bianchi is one of the rising stars of F1. The reason he is not given enough credit is that he is driving a car that's destined to be in the back of field. I hope he recovers and continues his dream of F1 racing.

I have seen a very sad and horrible photo of the car wedged behind the tractor and a Doctor holding Jules helmet.
The roll hoop has been completely removed by colliding with the tractor. He must have had a massive hit on the head.
I won't post the picture here, because some may not want to see it.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

I've seen the picture too, for me I guess it depends which direction the car was heading, if it was backwards then the lack of roll hoop may not be as bad, if it's gone in forwards, then the whole car has gone through. Struggling to feel optimistic, but being in surgery has to be better than it could be
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

The close up of that picture, looks worryingly like the back of his helmet is actually damaged. Hard to tell, but worrying if true.

Gut wrenching news. He's one of the better people you can find in the paddock. He's an excellent driver that is deserving a better drive. Unfortunately, I'm guessing this incident will render him unable to compete for the rest of this season.

What a horrible accident. Let's hope and pray for the best.
I didn't think Bianci will be back even next year. These head injuries seem to take at least two years. If you look at drivers like Wedlinger, Hakkinen, and even Massa, they were not back to normal for at least two seasons.
The good news for now is that Bianci seems to be stable enough that we are not getting any farther news. Now it's like with Schumacher ..... a waiting game.
