Jules Bianchi remains in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital following surgery after he sustained severe head injuries in Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old Marussia driver crashed into a recovery vehicle after aquaplaning off the wet Suzuka track at the same corner as Sauber's Adrian Sutil, who had left the circuit during the previous lap.

Sutil's car was still being removed from the area when Bianchi reached the scene of the accident and he hit the recovery vehicle, with the race being red-flagged shortly afterwards.

Bianchi remains at the Mie General Medical Center in Yokkaichi and an FIA spokesperson said on Monday that his condition was "critical but stable" and it is understood his family will finally see him on Tuesday after being delayed in getting to him due to Typhoon Phanfone.
