“Jules remains in the Intensive Care Unit of the Mie General Medical
Center in Yokkaichi. He has suffered a diffuse axonal injury and is in a
critical but stable condition. The medical professionals at the hospital are
providing the very best treatment and care and we are grateful for
everything they have done for Jules since his accident.
“We are also grateful for the presence of Professor Gerard Saillant,
President of the FIA Medical Commission, and Professor Alessandro Frati,
Neurosurgeon of the University of Rome La Sapienza, who has travelled to
Japan at the request of Scuderia Ferrari.
“They arrived at the hospital today and met with the medical personnel
responsible for Jules’ treatment, in order to be fully informed of his
clinical status so that they are able to advise the family. Professors
Saillant and Frati acknowledge the excellent care being provided by the Mie
General Medical Center and would like to thank their Japanese colleagues.
“The hospital will continue to monitor and treat Jules and further
medical updates will be provided when appropriate.”
