The brain injury specialist who treated Michael Schumacher after his skiing accident has flown to Japan to advise on the treatment of Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi.

Professor Gerard Saillant, president of the FIA medical commission, arrived in Yokkaichi early this morning and went straight to the hospital where Bianchi is said to be in a 'critical' condition.

On Sunday, the Marussia driver suffered a severe head injury when his car smashed into a tractor rescuing the crashed Sauber of Adrian Sutil, who had spun off on the previous lap of the Japanese Grand Prix.
