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 on Sunday. It took a few minutes, until all had noticed that Jules Bianchi not – had reported to his team – 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 had led to the breakdown of the race seven laps to go.
Two minutes after Sauber driver Adrian Sutil had crashed during the Grand Prix of Japan at turn seven 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, the most important protective mechanism in Formula 1 cars with their open cockpit, broke.
Hamilton wins ahead of Rosberg
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, who was fired two years ago in a straight test with her Marussia in the loading dock of a parked truck and 2,013 died.
It began hours of trepidation, as they did not experience the pinnacle of motor sport for many years. The triumph of Lewis Hamilton, who extended the lead over the second-placed Mercedes-mate Nico Rosberg with his eighth win of the season, has already succeeded during the medal ceremony for minor matter.
Black Sunday for F1
The pilots waived in the nightfall of Suzuka on the obligatory champagne shower, press conferences were canceled, in each motor home was a “black Sunday for F1″ the speech. “At this time only one that Jules Bianchi is okay and he recovers. Compared to the sport at the moment is not so important,” said Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff representative of the solidified Formula-1 family. Bianchi compatriot 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 transportation by ambulance and not carried by helicopter, initially caused confusion. All day it had been raining heavily in part because of the impending typhoon “Phanfone”, the start was therefore carried behind the safety car. Even at the time of Bianchi’s accident the race was neutralized; a common measure when an accident car is not yet recovered from the track.
CT shows severe head injuries
In a statement, the International Automobile Federation FIA said: “He was transported by ambulance because the helicopter under these conditions could not be used.” Later it became clear that it would have cost just too much time, Bianchi prepare for transport by helicopter. An ambulance with police escort had to be enough.
During the evening (local time) was the Fia in a second statement closer to the health of the Marussia- pilots. The details sounded alarming: “The images of computer tomography (CT) show that Jules Bianchi has suffered serious head injuries and is currently being operated on and after further intensive medical care..” His father spoke of a “head trauma.”
“The visibility was bad”
Eyewitness Sutil, the the shock was clearly noted little later led to the bad lighting conditions as the reason for the accident doublet: “It was quite tricky towards the end of the race the rain got heavier, it became darker Visibility was poor, and this curve already one of the most difficult.. is. ” The crash would have from a distance looked like a copy of his accident. On the other drivers thought the conditions were acceptable
Niki Lauda, the former world champion, however, spoke of a “perfect storm. You can not say, that today something was wrong. It was very unfortunate. A car is flown, the truck has come out, and then the next car has departed. ” On the narrow street circuit in Monaco about the salvage cars come from lack of space not only on the track; their grip arms extend beyond the barriers of time.
