Discussion
Thought I'd start a separate thread from the Japanese GP one specifically for updates about Jules' condition. Please no discussion of the crash, yellow flags v. green flags etc. in this thread

I see there is now clear video on youtube of the crash.
For some reason I thought he'd gone into the JCB backwards but it's a straight on impact that physically lifts and spins the rear of the JCB 45 degrees on the spot. Horrific
It's truly a miracle he's alive.
I see that Schumachers head specialist has been flown out to him.
Wishing and hoping for positive news

Yeah I watched the video (rightly or wrongly) and it was pretty shocking how he flew straight into the JCB... A massive impact into a huge lump of steel!For some reason I thought he'd gone into the JCB backwards but it's a straight on impact that physically lifts and spins the rear of the JCB 45 degrees on the spot.

From James Allen's website:
This website has spoken this afternoon to a leading London brain surgeon, who informed us that a diffuse axonal injury means that there is no specific area of sharp focus in the brain which has been damaged. In other words it’s not like an area of depression which would be caused by a blow from a hammer.
Bianchi had surgery on Sunday night and doctors will be monitoring the pressure inside his skull. If that does not escalate and when it stabilises, then within 1-5 days they will reduce the anaesthetic and see if he wakes up, then they will take it from there.
We are told that with severe head injuries,48 hours after the accident is very early to make any predictions on the outcome; some patients go on to make a full recovery, some do not. It’s rather like dropping a computer on the floor and turning it back on, there can be a wide range of results.
Top Gear TV presenter Richard Hammond is a good example of a patient who made a recovery from a diffuse axonal injury and he woke up after around one week.
That said, the announcement that it is a diffuse axonal injury at this stage is painting “quite a bleak picture”, according to our surgeon contact and it is clearly going to be a long and difficult road to recovery for Bianchi.

Damn, that's hard to take in.
Eveyrthing crossed that he pulls through, albeit relatively small there is a chance that he can recover to live a relatively normal life (see Richard Hammond mentioned above).
Forza Jules, everybody is rooting for you to win your hardest battle.

I have just had to read up what a diffuse axonal injury was. Sadly it would appear he will be lucky to wake up from this
me too , not looking good "About 90% of survivors with severe diffuse axonal injury remain unconscious. The 10% that regain consciousness are often severely impaired."furtive said:

Makes you realise just how lucky Hamster was, fingers crossed Jules has a similar outcome.This website has spoken this afternoon to a leading London brain surgeon, who informed us that a diffuse axonal injury means that there is no specific area of sharp focus in the brain which has been damaged.

Gary Hartstein (ex F1 medical delegate if you don't recognise the name) has provided some thoughts and analysis ....
