Jules Bianchi suffered a severe head injury in his crash during the Japanese Grand Prix, the FIA has confirmed.
The Marussia driver was taken to Mie General Hopital where he a computerised tomography (CT) scan revealed the extent of his injuries. He is currently undergoing surgery, after which he will be moved to intensive care.
The hospital will issue further updates on Bianchi’s conditions.
Bianchi was in 17th place when he went off the track on lap 41. He crashed at the Dunlop curve where marshals were already at the scene of a similar crash involving Adrian Sutil, who had crashed while following Bianchi on the previous lap.
Sutil later said Bianchi’s car had struck a recovery vehicle the marshals were using to move his Sauber.
