Jules Bianchi

Jules Bianchi, the 25-year-old Marussia F1 driver, has passed away following severe injuries he inflicted during a crash at last year's Japanese GP at Suzuka Circuit. His passing has been confirmed by his family members via a Facebook statement.

Bianchi started out in life as a test driver for Ferrari and Sahara Force India before landing to become a Marussia F1 driver where he finished ninth at last year's F1 Monaco GP. In the F1 2014 Japanese GP, he crashed into a recovery vehicle that was aiding Adrian Sutil's stricken racer and inflicted major injuries to his head. He had begun rehabilitation at the end of 2014, despite being unconscious.

Our hearts and thoughts belong to those close to Jules Bianchi.
