During the Japanese Grand Prix on October 5, 2014, French driver Jules Bianchi was in the 43rd lap, when he lost control of his Marussia in extremely wet conditions of Suzuka circuit, 300 kilometers from Tokyo. Bianchi collided with a recovery crane that was attending on Adrian Sutil’s Sauber, which had spun out of control in the 42nd lap. The impact of the collision was so great that the heavily built tractor crane was jolted off the ground and dropped Sutil's suspended Sauber on the ground.
