The FIA has put together an accident panel in order to fully investigate Jules Bianchi’s Japanese Grand Prix crash a fortnight ago.
The panel will consist of former team bosses Ross Brawn and Stefano Domenicali – both of which recently left the sport – alongside drivers, FIA chiefs and medical experts.
The FIA, under president Jean Todt, is keen to make changes following the accident and believes a thorough investigation must take place in order to put a plan of action into place to ensure such a crash cannot be repeated.
“We will learn from what has happened, because we cannot be facing such a situation again,” said the Frenchman.
Alongside Brawn and Domenicali is GPDA chairman Alex Wurz and F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi. It will be led by the FIA’s safety commission president Peter Wright.
Their aim is to examine the crash, the evidence and come up with solutions to ensure it doesn’t happen again according to an FIA statement.
“The group will carry out a full review of the accident to gain a better understanding of what happened, and will propose new measures to reinforce safety at circuits, with recommendations to be made for the FIA President.”
The findings are due to be presented at the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council on December 3rd.
