Bianchi had lost control of his vehicle, as marshals the driver had stopped with flag signals to drive slower because off the track of the cars of Adrian Sutil had to be rescued by a wheel loader. As a result, Bianchi raced in the wheel loader. Bianchi is a severe craniocerebral trauma in a coma. His condition was critical, said Jean Todt, the president of the International Automobile Federation FIA on Friday evening at a news conference in Sochi.
Whiting presented to the press before the results of its preliminary accident investigation, which he had also notified to Formula 1 drivers that will start on Sunday for the Grand Prix of Russia in Sochi. The sequence of recovery actions nothing will change for the time being. Recovery vehicles would be used in Sochi with “extreme caution,” said Whiting, but made it clear that the marshals and medical personnel in Japan “had better not act” can.
He had to show at the beginning of the press conference video sequences, which show how the accident happened in Japan. It is clear that the marshals have the flag signals used correctly. Whiting said, according to the data available to him, Bianchi had given the yellow flags lowered his pace. However, it was not clear whether the rate at which Bianchi collided with the wheel loader.
In the future, should ensure the activated external speed limit, that in case of danger, all drivers slow down their journey to the same extent. When the speed limit is introduced, it is still unclear because the teams use different technical systems that make such action possible. Todt announced to be examined, the examination result of a commission of experts. “We can not go back from such a situation are,” the FIA president
said, referring to the accident in Japan.
