A statement was released on Tuesday afternoon by Bianchi's team Marussia F1, on behalf of his family and the Mie General Medical Center in Japan where he is being treated, to provide an update on the Frenchman's condition.
“Jules remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi,” the family statement read.
“He has suffered a diffuse axonal injury and is in a critical but stable condition.
“The medical professionals at the hospital are providing the very best treatment and care and we are grateful for everything they have done for Jules since his accident.”
The statement expressed the family's thanks for the messages received since the 25-year-old driver's accident at Suzuka.
Bianchi crashed into a recovery vehicle after aquaplaning off the wet track.
