Formula 1 in Japan: Tragic accident Bianchi overshadowed victory by Hamilton
The shock came with delay. No collision with a competitor, no flying debris, not even television images bore witness to the accident that shook the Formula 1 yesterday. It took a few minutes, until all had noticed that Jules Bianchi not – had reported to his team Marussia – as is usual for such incidents. Team boss Peter John Booth immediately left the command post and ran with stony-faced in the team garage. Most viewers only found out from the track commentator of the terrible event that led to the demolition of the race seven laps to go.
Two minutes after Sauber driver Adrian Sutil at the Grand Prix of Japan at turn seven had crashed into the barriers, and Bianchi had lost control of his car. Unlike the German, who had his fierce strike survived physically unharmed, the Frenchman did not reach the tire wall. He bounced laterally unrestrained in the rear of a massive salvage crane, which would tow Sutil’s smoldering car straight off the track. The collision was so violent that the Sauber wreckage fell from the hook and the roll bar broke, the most important protection mechanism for Formula 1 cars with their open cockpits. The completely wrecked car was later seized by the police. When the rescuers arrived at the scene and the 25-year-olds were freed from his cars, was no longer conscious. The magazine “auto, motor, sport,” quoted an eyewitness as saying. “I’ve never seen such a badly-cut car” The accident is reminiscent of the crash of Maria de Villota, the 2012 was raced in a straight test with her Marussia into a parked truck and 2,013 died.
It started hours of trepidation, as she has not experienced the pinnacle of motor sport for many years. The triumph of Lewis Hamilton, who extended his eighth win of the season lead over the second-placed Mercedes-mate Nico Rosberg on ten points, got a minor matter. The pilots gave up the champagne shower, press conferences were canceled, in each motor home was a “black Sunday for Formula 1″ is mentioned. “At this time matters is that Jules Bianchi is okay and he recovers. Compared to the sport at the moment is not so important,” said Mercedes motorsport boss Christian Wolff.
Bianchi-countryman Jean-Eric Vergne, Ferrari team principal Marco Mattiacci and Williams driver Felipe Massa rushed immediately into the almost 15 kilometers away, Mie University Hospital, in which the educated of the Scuderia Frenchman had been brought. That the transport with an ambulance and not carried by helicopter, initially caused confusion. On Sunday evening, Bianchi’s condition had stabilized. As “L’Equipe” reported that he had undergone surgery on the head and could after the procedure breathe independently.
