Bianchi to miss FP2

NEWS STORY
11/10/2013

Jules Bianchi will sit out today's second practice session after damaging his car in FP1.

The Frenchman was one of several drivers caught out this morning, the Marussia driver losing the back end of his car after running over the kerb at the exit to the first part of the Degner complex and heading into the safety barriers.

Shortly after the incident, Caterham's Giedo Van der Garde locked up on entry to the second part of Degner and also went into the barriers.

Around ninety minutes before the start of FP2, Marussia issued a brief statement confirming that Bianchi - who was seen resting his elbow on an ice pack - would play no further part today.

"As a consequence of Jules' accident in this morning’s session, his allocated chassis MR02-02 has sustained damage that is repairable but not in sufficient time for him to take part in Free Practice 2," it read.

"Jules will therefore sit out this afternoon’s session. The spare chassis will be built up in time for Jules to resume running in Free Practice 3 on Saturday morning."
