The Suzuka circuit is considered one of the most difficult tracks in Formula One and this was proved right once again by the severe injuries suffered by Marussia driver Jules Bianchi during an unfortunate crash. These incidents are not unnatural to the drivers associated to the sport as proved by Felipe Massa and Robert Kubica not too long ago. Motor racing has always been a sport that involves a lot of danger due to the high speed and machines that the drivers have to deal with. Although it has become much safer in the last few years but the risk of life remains. Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger were the most fatal cases as it claimed their lives. Since then there have been a number of crashes but thankfully the drivers have come recovered from the initial injuries. Jules Bianchi’s incident clearly bears testimony to the fact that the risk never really reduces.
Jules Bianchi crashed against a recovery vehicle in the wet conditions which resulted in serious injuries to his head. Adrian Sutil had earlier lost control of his Sauber car as it hit the tyre barrier. A recovery vehicle had been sent in to remove the car from the track. But it was against this car that Bianchi crashed his own as he lost control. The impact was huge and everyone was shocked. The medical staff was immediately sent for and he had to be taken to the hospital. The city scans in Mie General Hospital were not promising at all. Immediate surgery had to be undertaken. The doctors mentioned clearly that it was a very critical case and needed great care and attention. The entire sporting world is hoping for a speedy recovery of the Frenchman and the Formula One family stands united to pray for him.
