Finalmente notizie ufficiali sulle condizioni di Jules Bianchi. E’ infatti di oggi un comunicato (qui sotto in versione integrale) da parte dei genitori del pilota francese, Philippe e Christine, che si rivolgono direttamente a media e appassionati per annunciare un passo importante: Jules non è più in coma indotto, anche se è ancora privo di conoscenza. Respira in un modo autonomo e i segni vitali sono stabili, benché resti in condizioni critiche. Quelle neurologiche restano stabili e, anche se la situazione continua a essere seria, e potrebbe restare così, è stato possibile riportarlo in Francia. Il trasferimento aereo è avvenuto la scorsa notte, dal Mie Prefectural General Medical Center di Yokkaichi, in Giappone, al Centre Hospitalier Universitaire di Nizza, dove adesso è nel reparto di terapia intensiva. Ovviamente i genitori chiedono ai media di continuare a rispettare la privacy per il bene e la tranquillità di Jules e di tutti. Inizia quindi un nuovo capitolo, ma questo appena giunto è uno splendido regalo per tutti noi, amici e tifosi di Jules, che non abbiamo mai smesso di crederci e di pensare a lui… #ForzaJules

The parents of Jules Bianchi, Philippe and Christine, would like to provide the following information regarding Jules’ medical care, by way of an update to the media and his fans.
“Almost seven weeks after Jules’ accident at Suzuka Circuit, and following a challenging period of neurological intensive care, we are able to announce that Jules has made an important step.
Jules is no longer in the artificial coma in which he was placed shortly after the accident, however he is still unconscious. He is breathing unaided and his vital signs are stable, but his condition is still classified as ‘critical’. His treatment now enters a new phase concerned with the improvement of his brain function.
Jules’ neurological condition remains stable. Although the situation continues to be serious, and may remain so, it was decided that Jules was sufficiently stable to be repatriated to his native France. We are relieved, therefore, to confirm that Jules was transferred aeromedically last night from the Mie Prefectural General Medical Center in Yokkaichi, Japan, to Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice (CHU), where he arrived just a short time ago. 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.
We are thankful that the next phase of Jules’ treatment can continue close to home, where he can be surrounded and supported by his wider family and friends. We have nothing but praise for the outstanding care provided by the Mie Prefectural General Medical Center since the accident. We owe the medical staff there an enormous debt of gratitude for everything they have done for Jules, and also for our family, during what is a very difficult time for us. In particular, we would like to extend our thanks to Doctors Kamei and Yamamichi, and also to Mr Ogura, all part of the team of personnel caring for Jules in Japan.”
