The incident was investigated by a 10-man FIA Accident Panel, which included former Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn, former Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali as well as past drivers Emerson Fittipaldi and Alex Wurz.

They heard that Bianchi hit the crane at a speed of 126kph and the force with which he struck the obstruction was beyond that a Formula 1 car is designed to bear.

A statement from the FIA read: "The semi-dry racing line at T7 was abruptly narrowed by water draining onto the track and flowing downhill along it. Both Sutil, and Bianchi one lap later, lost control at this point in T7.

"Sutil’s car was in the process of being recovered by mobile crane when Bianchi approached Sectors 7 and 8, which include the part of T7 where the recovery was taking place. Sectors 7 and 8 were subject to double yellow flags.

"Bianchi did not slow sufficiently to avoid losing control at the same point on the track as Sutil.
