F1 - Jules Bianchi Has Passed Away
A Statement from the Bianchi Family Nice, France Saturday 18 July 2015 02.45hrs France │ 01.45hrs UK It is with deep sadness that the parents of Jules Bianchi, Philippe and Christine, his brother Tom and sister Mélanie, wish to make it known that Jules passed away last night at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) in Nice, (France) where he was admitted following the accident of 5th October 2014 at Suzuka Circuit during the Japanese Formula 1 Grand Prix. “Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end,” said the Bianchi family. “The pain we feel is immense and indescribable. We wish to thank the medical staff at Nice’s CHU who looked after him with love and dedication. We also thank the staff of the General Medical Center in the Mie Prefecture (Japan) who looked after Jules immediately after the accident, as well as all the other doctors who have been involved with his care over the past months. "Furthermore, we thank Jules’ colleagues, friends, fans and everyone who has demonstrated their affection for him over these past months, which gave us great strength and helped us deal with such difficult times. Listening to and reading the many messages made us realise just how much Jules had touched the hearts and minds of so many people all over the world. "We would like to ask that our privacy is respected during this difficult time, while we try to come to terms with the loss of Jules.” |

I don't follow F1 much anymore, and missed that crash. It must have been horrendous to take his life with all the safety features they use now.

Jeezus!
Maybe it's time to rethink how F-1 handles cautions? Massive head injuries was the cause of death to the 25 year old. |

They did. Now the drivers must slow immediately, to a monitored speed vector, once the safety car comes out, and there are new speed rules for local yellows as well.
Jules caused his own wreck, nobody helped him. He was breaking the rules, going way too fast for the tires he was on and the conditions. |

This seems like one of those "when it's your time" kind of things. Of all the places to crash, it happened exactly where that maintenance vehicle was. I don't know the backstory, but just watching the video seems like the odds are crazy.
