Philippe Bianchi, father of Marussia racer Jules, admits that he increasingly less optimistic about his son's chances of a full recovery.

Talking to radio station France Info, Bianchi admitted that as time goes on his hopes of his son recovering from the head injury incurred during last year's Japanese Grand Prix diminish.

"In general, progress needs to be made in the first six months," he said. "It has been nine months now and Jules has still not woken up and there is no significant progress.

"As time goes by, I am less optimistic than I might have been two or three months after the accident when we could have hoped for better progress," he admitted.

"There comes a point when you have to just keep your feet on the ground and realise the gravity of the situation.

"He said to us that if he ever had an accident like that of Michael Schumacher, that even if his only handicap was not being able to drive, he would have a lot of difficulty living. Because it was his life."
