Around the world, drivers and teams are expressing feeling on the loss of Jules Bianchi, the promising French driver who passed away earlier today due to injuries sustained 9 months ago in the Japanese Grand Prix.
Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
I really thought this man would be my next favorite after Alonso retires. This sucks so bad. RIP Jules you will be remembered fondly by millions.
โTo be able to actually make something is awfully niceโ

โI've got to be careful what I say, but possibly to probably Juan would have had a bigger goโ

Not only was it sad to lose such a young, fit, talented individual in Jules but we should remember the parents who very likely had to make the appalling decision to turn off life support in the last few days, a decision no parent would ever want to do. They've had to live a nightmare since the accident and now they can grieve, so just a moments thought for them.

It'd be nice whomever has the ability to share their hot lap to this gentleman's channel or directly support
the Henry Surtees Foundation would be a nice gesture.
I would like to hope those from the media and corporate circles that are either directly or indirectly involved in Formula 1 shine a light on this foundation and give support to the Bianchi family.
The last 20 or so seconds was beautiful, all the cars he drove and finally ascending to be with Ayrton Senna.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
