Fuck.
Shitty news. How have they left that JCB there for so long in the very place a car has already spun out?
It happened on the very next lap to Sutils accident, they'd started moving his car when Bianchi hit the tractor, shit bad luck, though reports earlier were that he was out of surgery and breathing un-aided so that's good, tbf it took ages for any-one to realise it wasn't Sutil they were working on, no-one but the marshalls knew there was a second car involved.
:(
Feared he had no chance when you see the state of the car, good to hear he's breathing at least. But no way, those marshals were terribly at fault. I can understand a JCB coming onto the circuit in a non-dangerous stretch where a car is parked up off the line or at the far end of a gravel trap, but on a wet track in a location where a car has just spun off? Crazy. At least pull the barriers in front of the JCB instead of behind it. No thought took place there at all. If another car came off for the same reason as Sutil that's precisely where it was likely to hit - any fool could figure that out. They've almost killed a guy with their stupidity today.

Bianchi is very lucky to still be alive - at least I hope he's lucky. Horrendous. One yard to the left and that would have been the end. The impact forces that must have been at work to make a JCB jump in the air like that! Having it parked there was sheer madness. They're blaming Honda for not starting the race early, but surely it should be the track marshals getting slaughtered for being so incredibly stupid?
The JCB wasn't parked there, it was in the process of removing Sutils car, there's no blame for the marshals' nor probably for the race officials, if the safety car had been deployed as soon as Sutil had his accident it's doubtful that it would have been in place in time, it looks just like it was, a horrible accident, I still can't believe he's alive.
Bianchi, he has a similar injury to Schumacher's and the prognosis is "sombre" according to his doctors.
