No video of Bianchi's car, at all. That doesn't bode well.

And that's the race.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

BBC aren't saying anything, is it bad then?

 

[duckroll]

Hope everyone is okay. This is a downer of a way to end the race, but it's hard to get upset at all.

 

[brotkasten]

Wait are you watching BBC?

I am. They're streaming it on their page.But DC just mentioned that Bianchi went off.

 

[nature boy]

FFS, the BBC is absolutely clueless.

 

[Ty4on]

The silence is deafening. I really hope it's not serious

 

[SunhiLegend]

BBC have no clue, they still think it's Sutil being attended to.

I hope everything's OK.

Croft doesn't commentate on BBC. This is Jonathan Edwards.

 

[killer_clank]

this is scary

 

[brotkasten]

BBC have no clue, they still think it's Sutil being attended to.

Yeah, this is really infuriating.

Croft doesn't commentate on BBC. This is Jonathan Edwards.

You're right. Sorry. I always confuse their excitement.

 

[dakun]

Hamilton not celebrating seems like he was informed that news could be bad

 

[theignoramus]

Im thinking Bianchi may have head trauma.

 

[Blablurn]

Sky Germany is saying they heard rumors that Sutil is okay.

 

[aspiegamer]

what the fuck has happened?

Sutil went off at turn 5. Bianchi went off at the same spot and either hit the crane or a concrete barrier, though some conflicting report on who's injured. The US folk say Bianchi. Race suspended/ended for medical personnel on track.

This could be seriously bad. Seriously seriously bad. Zero celebrating. The teams have to know something.
Edit: No champagne on the podium? This is... a really bad sign.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

I'm getting a different commentary. They said Bianchi wasn't responding to team radio

[Deaf Spacker]

What the hell happened?

 

[yami4ct]

The fact that there's still no update is absolutely terrifying.

 

[Dead Man]

Im thinking Bianchi may have head trauma.

Yep.

 

[neoanarch]

This is so nerve wracking. God.

 

[RoKKeR]

My stomach is starting to sink. We have no replay of Bianchi's car?

 

[Mohonky]

Shit he hit a JCB? God I hope he didnt go under it......

 

[The_Joker]

apparently sutil talked to the box and said that he is fine...it's bianchi

 

[killer_clank]

bbc finally have the full information.

oh god this is bad

 

[VE3TRO]

No replays being shown means it must have been bad collison. I hope he's ok.

 

[Zeknurn]

My stomach is starting to sink. We have no replay of Bianchi's car?

They won't show a replay of someone getting injured. I wouldn't put much thought into it.

Man it's like the worst case scenario...

Cars are relatively safe if they hit the wall, but a crane?

Really hope he's ok.

 

[Celebrimbor]

Vettel still third

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Oh god.

 

[SteveO409]

japanese person just posted this...not looking good

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

No celebration "to be respectful."

 

[duckroll]

Probably won't be a replay. Seems he lost control of his car and crashed into the crash area. :/

 

[Dead Man]

Shit he hit a JCB? God I hope he didnt go under it......

That's what I'm worried is what happened.

 

[Risgroo]

Ugh, I hate this uncertainty. Awful end to a great race.

 

[Addnan]

This is scary, directors are usually only too happy to show accidents.

 

[dakun]

Sutil is back in the pit lane.. So he's fine

 

[kmag]

One of the medical staff hunched over the incident looked pretty active which might mean compressions.

Sutil was standing to the side behind the stairs.

 

[Aiii]

Absolutely no replay of the Bianchi crash is what is worst about this, they never don't show the crash as far as I can remember.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Shit he hit a JCB? God I hope he didnt go under it......

Pardon my ignorance but what is a JCB?

 

[Blablurn]

Oh god.

Please be okay :/

 

[Dead Man]

That picture is not good.

Edit: Yeah, it's bad.

 

[Xater]

No celebration "to be respectful."

Yeah just heard that hear as well. This is not good.

 

[killer_clank]

the tone from the drivers is not good

 

[RoKKeR]

They won't show a replay of someone getting injured. I wouldn't put much thought into it.

Right. Sort of didn't put that together. My bad.

This is scary.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

No replays being shown means it must have been bad collison. I hope he's ok.

While that's possible, I'm sure the FIA and FOM aren't exactly keen on showing any sort of collision between an F1 can and another vehicle, regardless of the circumstances.

 

[seattle6418]

I'm more worried about some of the workers being hit by bianchi, like run over. That would be the worst thing. It was not a fast section of the track, so i hope Bianchi is fine.

 

[aeroslash]

In the Catalan TV have spoken to Sutil and he has said that Bianchi has crashed into the truck that was lifting Sutil car. He was seriously worried.

 

[stryke]

On screen info says Vettel is third, Sky commentators say Ricciardo....so who is it?

 

[ConstructMe]

Was it under safety car the crash? Fuck me im worried

 

[dakun]

Actually that is a fast sector even under yellows waved. They are accelerating there
