The Marussia team has released an update on behalf of Jules Bianchi’s family who says the driver remains in a stable but critical condition.
Bianchi continues a fight for life after suffering a diffuse axonal traumatic brain injury during the Japanese Grand Prix 10 days ago.
A joint statement from the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi and the Marussia team said a number of medical challenges have needed to be overcome and ‘the situation remains challenging’.
“Jules remains in a critical but stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit of Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi,” the statement said.
“The Bianchi family continue to be comforted by the thoughts and prayers of Jules’ many fans and the motor sport community.
“In particular, the many demonstrations of support and affection during the course of the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi were of enormous comfort to Jules’ parents and the relatives and friends also present at the hospital.
“The family will provide further medical updates when appropriate.”
