http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/formula1/33578770 French Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi has died, nine months after suffering severe head injuries in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. Bianchi, 25, had been in a coma since crashing his Marussia into a recovery vehicle at October's rain-hit race. His family said: "Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end." The Marussia team, now known as Manor, said Bianchi had left an "indelible mark on all our lives". R.I.P. Jules!
He was a very talented driver, a future champion, very sad. Reminds me at Stefan Bellof, an incredibly fast young german driver, which seemed to be even quicker than Senna. After the accident I heard that no human being ever has survived such head injuries and it is a miracle, that he is still alive. I think the only hope was his youth and the strength of a fit body. R.I.P.
A tragic loss and a horrific accident. I still feel sad over Bellof's death at Spa ; I followed his career closely at the time. He was a stupendously talented driver and his accident came as a great shock.
not sure about Bellhof Martin, he was according to most some-one who took terrible risks and his fatal accident was largely his own fault "He did things other drivers wouldn't do." http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703467004575463800622261926
No argument there - I was a Bellof fan and there's no doubt that his fatal accident was his fault. But it's somehow a heart ruling over head thing ; watching Bellof at that early stage of his career was rather like watching Senna or ( Gilles ) Villeneuve, and it's sobering to think that both of those ( undeniably great ) drivers died through perhaps pushing harder than they should. But that's motor racing, it's not like tennis where if you make a mistake, you drop a few points.......
