On 2015-07-17, Jules Bianchi died at the age of 25. He was born in 1989 in Nice, France. Jules Bianchi was a beloved and talented Formula One (F1) driver, known for his impressive performance during his time with Marussia. In 2013, at the Malaysian Grand Prix, he achieved an impressive ninth place finish. The following year, he traveled to Japan, where he collided with a crane in an accident that would leave him in a coma for nine months. Despite the incident, he continued to enjoy both the support of the F1 community and the tenacity to continue racing. He is survived by his family, including his father, Philippe, his mother, Christine, and his sister, Mélanie, among others. We remember the exceptional talent and inspiring spirit he possessed; Jules Bianchi will be sorely missed by all.
