You have to go back to the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix, and before that Imola 1994, to find a Formula 1 paddock so collectively lost in its own thoughts as it was at Suzuka last Sunday night.
After a crazy weekend of drama in the F1 driver market, and mounting fears over the potential effect of Typhoon Phanfone on the race, Jules Bianchi's horrendous accident left everyone simply numb.
Amid uncertainty about Bianchi's condition at the time, and bafflement about how an accident like this could happen, there was very little that anyone wanted to or even could say to each other.
