Jules is now in the intensive care unit of Professors Raucoules and Ichai, where his care will also be monitored by Professor Paquis, Head of Neurosurgery Service,” the statement read.
After the crash, it emerged that Jules Bianchi suffered a 92G impact during the crash when his Marussia F1 car hit a recovery vehicle.
