Formula One has emerged from one of its most difficult weekends in recent memory.
Jules Bianchi's horrific accident at the Japanese Grand Prix cast a dark shadow over the sport. For the first time in many years, no one cared who had won the race—the muted podium ceremony was an irrelevant sideshow as drivers, teams, fans and media awaited news of Bianchi.
He remains in a critical condition.
The shadows darkened further later on Sunday when news emerged that ex-driver Andrea de Cesaris had died following a motorcycle crash in his native Rome.
Former driver Jacques Villeneuve responded to Bianchi's crash by arguing for the safety car to be deployed after every crash, regardless of the size.
On the other side of the fence, the new GPDA chairman, Alex Wurz, has warned against any knee-jerk responses. The FIA has ordered a full investigation into what happened.
The only other story retaining significant relevance out of the weekend is the ongoing saga surrounding Fernando Alonso's next move. Three doors appear to have been closed over the weekend, but the Spaniard doesn't seem overly concerned.
Read on for a full roundup of the top stories from recent days.
