Ex-F1 team principals Ross Brawn and Stefano Domenicali are among the members of a new FIA Accident Panel, which will carry out a full review of Jules Bianchi's crash at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Bianchi remains in intensive care in a Japanese hospital after crashing into a recovery vehicle two weeks ago at Suzuka. The new Accident Panel, headed up by the president of the FIA's Safety Commission Peter Wright, will start investigating the incident this week ahead of a presentation of their findings to the World Motor Sport Council on December 3 in Doha.

"The group will carry out a full review of the accident to gain a better understanding of what happened, and will propose new measures to reinforce safety at circuits, with recommendations to be made for the FIA President," read an FIA statement.

The FIA Accident Panel also includes two-time F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi and head of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association Alex Wurz.
