Marussia Formula One driver Jules Bianchi is
in critical condition after crashing at the
Japanese Grand Prix.
Bianchi was unconscious when he was taken
to a nearby hospital following a crash during
Sunday's rain-shortened race and is
undergoing emergency surgery after a scan
revealed a severe head injury.
According to FIA officials, the 25-year-old
Bianchi will be moved to intensive care where
he will be monitored after the surgery.
The race was red-flagged with nine laps to go
after Bianchi went off at Turn 7, where
Sauber's Adrian Sutil had crashed earlier.
The Sauber was being recovered by a crane
when Bianchi went off.
Sutil indicated Bianchi's car had hit the crane.
"I aquaplaned," Sutil said. "The rain got more
and more. One lap later with waved yellow
flags, Jules came around and had the same
spin there and that was it. It was the same
crash but the outcome was different. The car
came out to rescue my car and it all
happened."
Sunday's race started at 3 p.m. local time. An
approaching typhoon led to suggestions that
the race would be pushed up to an earlier
start.
At the time of the crash, rain was falling
steadily and it was getting dark. Several
drivers complained of not being able to see
properly.
The first nine laps were run behind a safety
car and it started to rain heavily again near the
end of the race.
