did anyone hear anything more about it? I heard he was transferred to the hospical unconsious, and from a french TV channel that he has brain trauma and might be in a coma, and he's undergoing surgery already. I hope this isn't the case and they are just taking it safe and he won't have major injuries!
From what I´ve read about the severity of his injuries you might be right, this could be the end of his career. Seeing at the latest pictures though we have to admit that he is still lucky to be alive, the whole structure of the car (roll hoop etc.. )above the drivers head has been razed off. I hope he will recover from this nasty crash as well as possible.
There is another report

Unfortunately both reports are unsubstantiated , i'm sure we are all praying for him at this time.
A STATEMENT FROM THE MANOR MARUSSIA F1 TEAM

Silverstone, UK
The Manor Marussia F1 Team would like to communicate the following statement from John Booth, Team Principal.
“Words cannot describe the enormous sadness within our team this morning, as we come to terms with losing Jules. He has left an indelible mark on all our lives, and will forever be part of everything we have achieved, and everything we will strive for going forward.
“Jules was a shining talent. He was destined for great things in our sport; success he so richly deserved. He was also a magnificent human being, making a lasting impression on countless people all over the world. They recognised, as did we, that at the same time as being a fiercely motivated racer, he was also an extremely warm, humble and intensely likeable person, who lit up our garage and our lives.
“We are incredibly grateful that we were able to provide Jules with the opportunity to show the world what he could do in a Formula 1 car. We knew we had a very special driver on our hands from the first time he drove our car in pre-season testing in 2013. It has been an honour to be able to consider him our race driver, our team-mate, and of course our friend.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the wonderful Bianchi family, who have remained so strong for Jules throughout the past nine months. In turn, Jules was an absolute credit to them.
“Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has supported Jules since his accident in Japan last October. Your kindness has been such a source of comfort to his family and to us, his team. We will rely on your continued support over the coming days and months as we race on for Jules.”
I will remember Jules as a bright driver who had a promising career ahead of him.

Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end,” said the Bianchi family. “The pain we feel is immense and indescribable. We wish to thank the medical staff at Nice’s CHU who looked after him with love and dedication.

"Furthermore, we thank Jules’ colleagues, friends, fans and everyone who has demonstrated their affection for him over these past months, which gave us great strength and helped us deal with such difficult times. Listening to and reading the many messages made us realise just how much Jules had touched the hearts and minds of so many people all over the world."We would like to ask that our privacy is respected during this difficult time, while we try to come to terms with the loss of Jules.”
RIP Jules, and yes Dominus, that's the least we can do the remember him. My team will race under his name today.
Will never forget his drive at Monaco last year, especially the move on kobiyashi at the hairpin, real talent who could've gone a long way in the sport RIP Jules, gone but not forgotten
