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.

RIP Jules.

I think everybody knew you were a great driver even with the limited time you had to show it.

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.

Was deeply saddened this morning to hear of his passing.

As someone who is still raw after loosing his Mum just 11 weeks ago, i can only empathise with his family. I am sorry for their loss.

Just saw this:





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.

Link to the about page: http://www.henrysurteesfoundation.com/?page_id=20

Edit:



The last 20 or so seconds was beautiful, all the cars he drove and finally ascending to be with Ayrton Senna. :cry:
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.
