RTL's contributor in Japan met with Christine Bianchi, Jules' mother Friday, October 17.
Jules Bianchi, driver of the Marussia Formula 1 team, received serious head injuries when he crashed into a heavy tractor during the wet Japanese Grand Prix, almost two weeks ago.
Bianchi remains in a serious but stable condition in the intensive care unit of the Mie medical centre in Yokkaichi.
As it was the case with Michael Schumacher's skiing accident last December, access to Jules' room is strictly controlled.
RTL's contributor met mother Christine in the lobby of the hospital. She is obviously devastated and she's not inclined to speak. In fact, according to the reporter, she's not allowed to speak with the press.
She confirmed that Jules is still unconscious.
“Jules is treated well here. The medical centre is perfect. The doctors are really great. They are all experts, they are very respectful,” she told RTL.
However, she attacked the critics. “You know, certain people said certain things to evade responsibility”, she added.
The reporter asked her why she was not saying more. “Did someone told you not to speak?” he asked.
After a pause, and using carefully chosen words she replied: "The F1 is a business. A very big business.”
