jesus. the back of the car really got fucked up. although, it's good to see that it looks like the part where he actually was doesn't seem to have taken too much damage.
i agree, but that doesn't matter if he hit his head

ok so we can assume that the injuries are most likely to the head since the car looks to have survived the impact relatively good. Maybe a direct contact or just the G Forces + angle knocking him out?
This could be a similar outcome to Karl Wendlinger in 1994 when he hit the barriers sideways

Sutil refused to comment on the accident at all. He just said that Jules had the same accident he had and he hopes that he's in good hands.
ok saw this pic on reddit.. it looks like the top of the car is pretty badly damged.. talking about the roll bar.

I just saw those come through as well.The Getty Images do not look promising. Not posting a link to them here, should be all over twitter in moments.
This is an inherent design issue with the current Formula 1 car, really. They can take so much abuse and have the driver get up and walk, but a horizontal impact at about half a meter's height from the front or side? There's no protection there at all.Still, there is possibility that he collided to tractor/barrier with his helmet/side of the car....
What accident? I can't remember

Can't believe they published those.
Why did Ferrari have representatives at the hospital with Bianchi? Just because they provide the engine?
i hope the marshalls did this to cut him out ... it looks like a clean cut

Shit, I hope he is alright. I missed this race and just saw the headlines. What exactly happened?

Concensus seems to be that he lost control and went sideways into the vehicle that was being used to remove Sutil's car from the track following an earlier accident in the same place.
ok so the pics from getty proof that the damage to the roll bar was there immediatly after impact and wasn't because of the rescue operation to cut him out of the car... that is really bad indeed.
They should... probably pave in some of that one gravel trap a la the wide edit at 130R (immediately across the barriers from the crash site, btw).
A few people a year always seem to go off there. It's probably the tiny bit of extra pavement from the secondary track that drivers wander out on to. An early apex in turn 7 can force you outside around there. I've crashed in this exactly spot in any number of video games countless times.

And I'm sorry that I'm horrible with mspaint.

Jenson seems pretty shaken.

Salo: Bianchin auto tuplakeltaisten aikana suoraan traktorin alle. Kova isku päähän
The only good news right now is that there is no news, otherwise we'd have confirmation if the worst had happen.
