Is there any race footage available? My beloved engine started acting up around lap 20... What on earth happened with Bianchi?
#45 ·
So, I just caught the latest update and apparently they actually had to cut Jules out of the cockpit, which is absolutely terrifying. Even Gary Hartstein is saying we should probably start lighting candles and saying some prayers at this point...

Just keep hoping. How long has it been now—an hour? Two? Not a single update... it’s basically an eternity at this point.
Once that Glock 2009 info finally dropped—took us like half an hour tops—we were all set.
The longer we go without hearing anything—seriously—the worse this whole situation is getting.
You guys held out hope with MS, too—and I told you right then that you'd never see the Schumacher you knew ever again.

And you guys all laughed at me—calling me some wannabe doctor and a total moron
Not long now until the anniversary

Sure, but there’s a massive difference between those two scenarios.
First, his medical team finds out, then his family gets the news... the public will only hear about it when the time is right.
What good would it do for doctors to be tweeting his status straight from the operating room?

The only redeeming quality of this photo that darkmarlin16 decided to share is the fact that the passenger-side rearview mirror actually remains intact.

Unfortunately, I’m right there with Joža on this one; everything seems to be spiraling toward the absolute worst-case scenario, if you ask me. I was just reading reports that to make matters even worse, an ambulance got stuck in gridlock...
I honestly don't know what to say. It's a massive, massive shame. 😢

His condition hits the crew and family first... the public finds out when it's time.
What's the point of doctors tweeting his status from the OR?
Man, you just don't get it.
Silence is the biggest red flag there is.
If it was just a leg injury—we'd know by now.
That means it's head trauma. And once it's the head, it's usually game over.
Massa is the outlier here, and
Surtes, gonzales, moore, de villota, earnhardt, senna—they're the rule.
#52 ·
Even when Mass crashed, we got immediate updates straight from the hospital. When Kubica went down, they were already reporting no serious injuries before the race was even over... 👎

Man slammed right into the Crane on his left side—that mirror is basically amputated, if you'll excuse my language.
#54 ·
Good grief, this smells like a total disaster. 😢
Given how eerily quiet things have become, I suspect Joe might actually be right about this being a head injury. 😢

Guy got run over by a crane. Look at how his nose is absolutely wrecked from above
This is just like what happened to De Villota

Alright, enough with the doom and gloom. It honestly looks like you're rooting for the worst-case scenario just so you can say "I told you so."
Everyone knows this isn't good; we don't need you to confirm it.
#57 ·
It’s possible he’s dealing with a serious head injury, but there's also a good chance he’s undergoing surgery right now to address it, and everything might just turn out fine in the end.

ruggedhawk20 said:The man slammed right into the Crane on his left side, and that rearview mirror—forgive my bluntness—is practically amputated.
Well, I suppose so, though one might argue that at least the right side offers some semblance of hope, wouldn't you?
#59 ·
graniteharbor502 said:Yeah, I get that—but at least that right side gives you some kind of hope
The Crane was on the left. And if we're being real here, the right mirror is tilted right, which means the car slid under the Crane with the full width of the cockpit. You can see it in that massive scratch on the top of the nose—it's already halfway over to the right side, right where the red paint ends and the white starts.
Bianchi’s head was basically stuck somewhere in the middle of that carnage. Literally caught between a hammer and an anvil.
Also, don't forget Villota—she slammed into a semi at 45km/h.
You're hitting that turn in the rain at about 145km/h, you've got maybe ten meters to slow down, let's say Bianchi hit at 90km/h.

Check out this absolute mess next to the steering wheel. Apparently, they ripped this thing out along with the whole column—normally you'd just pull the wheel itself. But if they’re tearing out parts like this just to get the wheel loose, it basically means the cockpit is a complete disaster zone.
