Jules Bianchi’s father insists his son will not give up as he remains in a critical but stable condition following his Japanese Grand Prix crash.
The 25-year-old suffered a diffuse axonal injury to the brain when his car hit a recovery vehicle at high-speed.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his father Philippe Bianchi said his son’s survival was already a miracle, but whilst there remains a long road ahead for the Marussia driver, it’s a fight he won’t give up.
“The situation is desperate,” he said. “Every time the telephone goes, we know it could be the hospital to tell us that Jules is dead.
“He will not give up, I’m sure of that. I can see it. I believe it,” he added. “I speak to him. I know he can hear me.
“His doctors have told us that this is already a miracle, no one has ever survived such a serious accident. But Jules won’t give-up.
“His trainer Andrea says that if there is one person who can make it happen, with his will, it’s Jules.”
