I've seen the impact on youtube, it's quite horrific, very high energy impact, much worse than I had imagined. Hoping he pulls through frown

I'm not even sure I want to watch the F1 this weekend. It feels a bit too soon. :/

That said, I'm sure he'd want it to carry on - it seems to be the way with racers.

Fingers will remain crossed.

Not good news at all. That said, we can only hope that he falls into not only the 10% who do wake up but also the even smaller percentage who make a substantial recovery.

I dont think it takes a genius to work out what may be going on,sadly. But i disagree in one way......

Of course you must watch this weekend.

That is what they do. To quote Gladiator.....

'They Love US for it'

And so.....

'We Love THEM for it',

Ill be watching this weekend and bloody cheering. But still thinking of one of the fallen Gladiators.

Well said, I too will be watching. Have a feeling it will still somewhat take the sheen off the whole event. Can't imagine the sky team being too chirpy after what happened.

The latest news is tough to read.. Especially after watching the race and this incident kind of happening in the background. This news plus the video footage has really shown just how serious an accident was..

Prayers for Bianchi for recovery from a real freak of an accident..

I hate to say it but I doubt he will make much of a recovery, if at all. The medical information disclosed to date does not fill me with hope. I have my fingers crossed for him however.

The tone of the updates aren't very optimistic which hopefully he will defy with a relatively reasonable recovery. Suspect it was the sudden stop as he appeared to hit the tractors off side rear wheel/tyre which would have provided sod all absorption of the impact. Hope that he's home in a couple of months and is recovering with his family.

If anyone is interested one of the moderators on FerrariChat is a neuroscientist and has been giving some insight into the DAI condition.

I hope JB makes a recovery but I suspect it will never be a full recovery.

I also suspect his career is over, always assuming he either comes back round or doesn't have permanent brain damage [both a high probabilities, particularly as he isn't breathing on his own].

Tragic accident _ thoughts are with the family, friends and other drivers are are clearly devastated by what happened.

I am not a Doctor, but thought I read somewhere (hopefully credible) that Richard Hammond's head injury was similar, and although he had a lot of rehab, he is still with us. I would hope that, as with Hammond (IIRC), that by getting him to the hospital within the golden hour there must be hope?

Forza Jules

Correct, but the severity is significantly different.

No grading has been released for Jules' DAI. Anything else is pure speculation at this point.

^^^^

And to add whilst we have not got the details to hand most of us have seen footage of both incidents and, dare I say it having seen many incidents over the years on screen and in front of me, Hammond's was not on the same scale.

I've seen footage of the accident and as such am deeply concerned about the level of his injuries. I'm no neuroscientist but that impact was huge and into a solid object too the forces his head must have endured will have been massive.

How can you tell what the force was on Bianchi? The injury is of the type that occurs when the brain experiences a rapid deceleration, not of a massive blunt trauma of the type Schumacher suffered.

This thread is for updates on Jules condition, not speculation.

Best wishes to Jules and his family.
