Bianchi, 25, in 'critical but stable' condition after Japanese Grand Prix crash

This is the first video of the horrific moment a Formula One driver crashed into a recovery vehicle.

The clip - taken yesterday in the aftermath of another accident at the Japanese Grand Prix - was released as Jules Bianchi was revealed to be in a ‘critical but stable’ condition following the crash.

The Marussia driver received a severe head injury when his car ploughed into the back of a tractor rescuing the stricken Sauber of Adrian Sutil, who had spun off the Suzuka circuit on the previous lap.

An ambulance was sent to the scene straight after Bianchi's crash - which knocked him unconscious - and the 25-year-old Frenchman was taken to the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi.

Bianchi's father, Philippe, told French TV that his son's condition was 'critical' and he had undergone surgery for serious head injuries.

There's either something not being reported about this story or the initial reports were incorrect.

Initially they said that the helicopter couldn't fly because of the weather so he was taken by ambulance to Mie University Hospital in Tsu. This is the closest major hospital to the circuit. The early pictures appear to show that hospital - It's quite old but is large and offers pretty comprehensive care. Current reports say that he is in Mie General Medical Center - a much more modern hospital in Yokkaichi. Therefore, if the initial reports were correct, at some point he must have been transferred. Why, when and how remain unknown.

Word on the street around around here is that he has passed away. Nothing in the news as yet so it might be just a rumour. Lots of unanswered questions ....
