Chapter 1 ~ The crash

"Finally after the weather has become less heavy we can start with the Grand Prix van Suzuka. Sunday 5 october 2014 Japan, let's see what it is going to bring today. Pole position for Nico Rosberg, second for Lewis Hamilton. Lights out and away we go. Nico Rosberg gets a decent start and is already ahead of Lewis Hamilton. There is a bit of a jockeying going on between Sebastion Vettel and Kimi RΓ€ikkΓΆnen. Rosberg leading in the first corner. Sergio Perez goes wide which leads to give Daniel Ricciardo an opportunity to pass."

Me, Charles and Arthur are watching the start from the Marussia pits, because our godfather is racing; our best friend Jules Bianchi. We hang out with him a lot and we are inseparable. He is Lorzenzo's best friend, our older brother and he is only a few years older. Our fathers are also best friends. We are already in 23th lap of the race and Jules is currently in 17th place.

"DRS has been enabled and Hamilton is coming really close to Rosberg. He looks and tries, but he can't pass his teammate. Hamilton tries again with slipstream, and WOW, Nico Rosberg still holds his position. Hamilton is now holding a tighter line and NOO, Hamilton spins on the track. Hamilton is lucky, but he has to use his Hammertime to catch up with Rosberg"

'This dude is crazy man, he forced me off the track. What an idiot. He even went off himself.'
"Yeah. Copy that Daniil, we're looking into it. We spotted some graining on your tyres."
'I'm really struggling to control the car, I think I have damage. I got a puncture! BOX BOX!'
"Copy that."

Not long after Hamilton had spinned, he overtook Rosberg and was leading the race. As we were watching, the rain started to get heavier again. Adrian Sutil from the Sauber team went into the tyre barrier in turn 7. Double yellow flag was called out and a safety car came on the track. A tractor crane was called out to take the car away, back to the pits.

"Double yellow flag, and OOOOHH NNOO BIG ACCIDENT, JULES BIANCHI LOST CONTROL OF HIS CAR. HE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE TRACTOR CRANE! What a horrifying crash, I hope everything is okay.... *speechless*

"Oh my god... " I couldn't believe my eyes, my heart was pounding so fast that it could explode any time. Tears come rolling down my eyes. "no no no, please ... " He had crashed into a tractor crane. I was crying and hoping that he would be okay. I heard Arthur saying that it would be okay, Charles on the other hand was also crying and we all knew that this crash would be fatal for our friend. I collapse onto the floor in complete shock, not knowing what is going to happen right now. I look at the TV screen, I see that he is still in the car and heard that the commentator was saying that it has been confirmed he is unconscious. "He is going to die, isn't he..." I said as I was looking at Charles. "This is all my fault." We all had nothing to say anymore, as we all sat there in shock.Β
