The footage of Jules Bianchi's crash has appeared on You Tube, I'm surprised he survived at all. [video=youtube_share;ZoinAuyjLDA]http://youtu.be/ZoinAuyjLDA[/video]

That's not a light jcb, & got moved quite a distance by a car that weighs almost nothing. I can't figure out why they were waving the green flag just in front of the accident

What's the point of having all the crash padding then put a JCB the "live" side of it? surely they can afford to have mobile cranes situated the safe side

The station upstream is showing waved double-yellow (per FIA standard) as is correct.

Sorry [quote=bbc]Yellow flag = Indicates danger ahead and overtaking is prohibited. A single waved yellow flag means slow down, a double waved yellow warns that the driver must be prepared to stop if necessary[/quote] if there was a double waved yellow theirs no way he should of been going that fast into a corner on a wet track

Post 740284 by JT on 2014-10-06 19:43:20

Shocking video :( I doubt they could see the flags, but they have the warning lights on the steering wheels and of course the radio

Post 740287 by Ettienne on 2014-10-06 19:45:33

Amazing the way it moved the jcb, some forces involved. Imagine if the workers moving the other car were hit by jules car, unthinkable.

[QUOTE=JamesT5;740261]Who's Jules Bianchi?[/QUOTE] Just some guy driving a JCB around Suzuka yesterday. Jeez, you do seem to ask for it a little. That looks truly horrific. That is some energy transfer to lift that machine. Haven't seen any updates on his condition yet. Anyone seen anything?

Post 740303 by Timo. on 2014-10-06 20:10:12

I'm surprised he has a head after that let alone 'serious head injuries'. A foot to the left and he would surely have been dead

Bloody hell thats one hell of a smash! [QUOTE=JamesT5;740261]Who's Jules Bianchi?[/QUOTE] Putting all the information together and doing an analysis of said information.......I would say it was the guy in the car :wallbash:

Absolutely terrible accident,as said.

Post 740344 by Squirtydog on 2014-10-06 21:56:22

Looks like the family have requested that there is no reporting on his condition. "In intensive care and breathing for himself" is a start at least.

Post 740384 by RollingThunder on 2014-10-07 08:20:48

Jeeesus H... I'm amazed he wasn't decapitated. Not sure if its good or bad that he survived that one - he's going to have some horrific injuries.

[QUOTE=Squirtydog;740344]Looks like the family have requested that there is no reporting on his condition. "In intensive care and breathing for himself" is a start at least.[/QUOTE] That's been misreported, he's not breathing for himself.

[QUOTE=claymore;740256]I take it you mean Unlucky guy[/QUOTE] No definitely lucky, Lucky to be alive still, albeit in a critical state in hospital but still alive. Hope he pulls through.
