:( Jules Bianchi: F1 driver dies from crash injuries


Recommended Posts

French Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi has died, nine months after suffering severe head injuries in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old had been in a coma since crashing his Marussia car into a recovery vehicle in wet conditions in Suzuka last October.

 

His family said: "Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end."

Marussia, now known as Manor, said the team was "devastated".

 

Bianchi is the first F1 driver to die from injuries sustained in a Grand Prix since Brazilian triple world champion Ayrton Senna was killed at Italy's Imola circuit in 1994.
