Controversy- Jean Todt, ex manager Scuderia Ferrari and now FIA president, has demanded a full report on the incident after issues were raised on how race officials handled the situation. Charlie Whiting, race commisioner, will have to respond to the federation before the next Gran Prix in Sochi, Russia.
The accident- The FIA is interested on how the stewards operated during the accident occured on the 43rd lap of the Japanese GP. Were the proper flags waived indicating a caution (yellow flag) or were the green flags exposed mistakenly indicating that the track was clear?
Should the race have been interupted? A two hour delay on the start had also been suggested. Could this have avoided the Marrussia Team drivers almost fatal accident?
