Jules Bianchi’s family is going through “daily torture” as the Formula One driver continues his recovery from a severe head injury, his father said yesterday.

Bianchi remains in a coma six months after his Marussia crashed into a recovery vehicle during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.

The 25-year-old is in a stable condition in a hospital in his home town of Nice but as the wait for him to regain consciousness goes on, his family continues to suffer by his side.

“I think that in this type of accident it shocks more than an actual death. The pain is endless — a daily torture,” Philippe Bianchi said.

“From a medical point of view, his condition is stable.

“He’s moving forward. So we hope for a new evolution. The next one would be for him to get out of his coma.”
