I went off to bed minutes before the Bianchi incident, but having viewed all of the footage (amateur as it is), the FIA could clear a lot of things up by (a) releasing official race footage, or (b) releasing on-board footage from Bianchi's car in the 20 to 30 seconds prior to leaving the track.

Two things just don't make sense to me: if he aquaplaned (1) why was he travelling so fast at the point of impact (which appears to be around 145kmph) and (2) why was he travelling in a perfectly straight line, nose in.

None of the amateur footage explains any of this.

As for the marshalls and the waiving of green flags, it would appear that up until the Bianchi accident everything was done by the book (a flawed book), but after the accident those green flags should no longer have been waived.
