A Statement from the Bianchi Family | 30 December 2014

Nice, France

The parents of Jules Bianchi, Philippe and Christine, would like to provide the following update regarding Jules' medical situation:

"As we reach the conclusion of a difficult year for our family, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide a further update regarding Jules' medical situation, per our pledge to communicate continued information, when appropriate, to his many fans.

"It was a significant and very comforting step for us to be able to bring Jules home to France last month, to continue his rehabilitation surrounded by his family and friends. This is very important for Jules and also for us.

"Since that time, Jules has received the very best treatment in the Intensive Care Unit of Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice (CHU) and now at the CHU's rehabilitation centre for this kind of trauma.

"Jules' neurological status remains unchanged; he is unconscious but able to breathe unaided. Whilst there is no significant information to report, we take a great deal of comfort from the fact that Jules continues to fight, as we knew he would, and this has enabled the medical professionals caring for him to commence the planned, but very painstaking, programme of rehabilitation therapy.

"As we reflect on the events of the past few months, we would like to acknowledge once again the overwhelming warmth and affection shown towards our son. These continue to be challenging times for our family, but the knowledge that he has touched the lives of so many people all around the world has helped us through.

"We would also like to acknowledge the respect and support shown by the media towards our family during this time, for which we are extremely grateful.

"We will continue to provide information when it is possible to do so and our sincere appreciation to everyone who continues to pray for Jules."

I wouldn't need the nights to last that long, personally!

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

How's this for crazy?

Marussia collapsed with £31m worth of debt. McLaren, Ferrari and Pirelli were the largest creditors.

The prize money they earnt for finishing 9th in the WDC, but denied for not finishing the season? £35m.

Utter scandal.

Sky Sports coverage is far better in my opinion.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

I like Ben Edwards' commentary, but otherwise fully agree. Sky Sports f1 has become a brilliant channel.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

Can't see it. Essentially all the time Bernie's in charge lucrative tv rights deals will win out over fta coverage, despite the resulting fall in viewer numbers. Race attendance is also a worry. Did you know that at every track on last year's (2014) f1 calendar which also hosted a round of the World Superbikes, the Superbikes had more people turn up! My son and I went to the 2014 British Grand Prix and it was an awesome event. But it cost me close to a month'a mortgage for the two of us, and he's 7. But he can't afford a Rolex so Bernie doesn't care about him, even though the sport could part him with his money for decades if they understood how important the future is. But the cost aside, if you're not generating interest through television exposure or online then you won't have people bothering to go to the races. At some point in the next few years I reckon we'll see a heritage race with empty stands and we'll realise it's too late - all the young people will be at the formula e. They won't care that we have the fastest cars and the best drivers, they'll just know that we weren't bothered enough to pay them any attention.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

So basically I have a little rant about the cost of attending the British Grand Prix, and this happens...
