Bianchi undergoes surgery after serious injury in Suzuka crash
FRENCH Formula One driver Jules Bianchi suffered severe head injuries and was undergoing surgery after a crash that cast a pall over yesterday’s Japanese Grand Prix.
The unconscious Marussia driver had been taken by road ambulance to Mie General Hospital near the Suzuka circuit after the accident that brought out red flags and led to the race being stopped early.
“The CT scan shows that he has suffered a severe head injury and is currently undergoing surgery,” the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) said in an update on his condition.
“Following this he will be moved to intensive care where he will be monitored.”
Bianchi, a graduate of Ferrari’s young driver academy, is seen as an up-and-coming talent in Formula One after scoring Marussia’s first ever points when he finished ninth at this year’s Monaco Grand Prix.
The accident occurred at the same point of the track, the Dunlop Curve, where Adrian Sutil had aquaplaned off a lap earlier and involved a tractor that was lifting the stricken Sauber.
The FIA confirmed Bianchi had hit the back of the recovery vehicle as he skidded off.
