Marussia reject claim Bianchi did not slow
Marussia released a statement after noticing a number of media reports that suggested Bianchi did not slow down under double-waved yellow flags shown after Adrian Sutil had spun off in the wet conditions at Suzuka.
The reports also suggested radio transmissions from the team had urged Bianchi to go faster during the extreme cautionary period in order to keep Caterham’s Marcus Ericsson behind. It was under the double-waved yellows that Bianchi careered off the track and into a recovery vehicle that was removing the Sauber of Sutil, who had crashed on the previous lap.
