Jules Bianchi (3 August 1989- 17July 20115) was a French motor racing driver. He made his Formula One debut in 2013, driving for Marussia alongside Max Chilton. He previously raced in Formula Renault 3.5, the GP2 Series and Formula Three.
Bianchi entered Formula One as a test driver in 2011 at Ferrari, and carried out a similar role for Force India the following season. In 2013, he made his debut driving for Marussia; finishing 15th in his opening race in Australia. He ended the season in 19th position, but failed to score any points. His best result in his debut season was 13th at the Malaysian Grand Prix. In October 2013, the team confirmed that he would drive for the team the following season. In the 2014 season, he scored both his, and his team's, first points in Formula One at the Monaco Grand Prix.[1] fastway couriers australia He suffered severe head injuries in a crash while competing in the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit on 5 October 2014.[2][3] He underwent emergency surgery and was placed into an induced coma, and remained comatose until his death on 17 July 2015. Bianchi is the first Formula One driver killed as a result of an accident during a race event since Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Early and personal life[]
Born in Nice, France, to Philippe,[4] Jules Bianchi is the grandson of Mauro Bianchi, three-time World Champion in the GT category. He is also the grandnephew of Lucien, who won the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans and competed in nineteen Grands Prix in the Formula One World Championship between 1959 and 1968, with a podium finish in Monaco.[5][6]
Early career[]
Formula Renault[]
In 2007 Bianchi left karting and raced in French Formula Renault 2.0 for SG Formula, where he finished as champion with five wins.[7] He also competed in the Formula Renault Eurocup where he had one pole position and one fastest lap in three races.[8] https://fastwaytracking.com/
Formula Three[]

In late 2007, Bianchi signed with ART Grand Prix to compete in the Formula 3 Euro Series.[9] Bianchi is currently managed by ART boss Nicolas Todt, manager of Formula One driver Felipe Massa.[10]
In 2008 Bianchi won the Masters of Formula 3 at Zolder,[4] and also finished third in the 2008 Formula 3 Euro Series season.[11]
Bianchi continued in the F3 Euroseries in 2009, leading ART's line-up along with rookie team-mates Valtteri Bottas, Esteban Gutiérrez and Adrien Tambay.[12] With eight wins, Bianchi sealed the title with a round to spare, at Dijon-Prenois. He then added a ninth win at the final round at Hockenheim. He also drove in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series at Monaco, after SG Formula acquired the cars formerly run by Kurt Mollekens.[13]
GP2 Series[]
Bianchi at Monza in 2011
Bianchi drove for ART in the subsequent GP2 Asia season and the 2010 GP2 Series season.[14] He competed in three of the four rounds of the GP2 Asia championship.[15] In the main series, Bianchi took two pole positions and a number of points positions before he was injured in a first-lap crash at the Hungaroring.[16] In the feature race, he spun into the path of the field exiting the first corner, and was struck head-on by Ho-Pin Tung, sustaining a fractured second lumbar vertebra in the process.[17] Bianchi was fourth in the drivers' championship at the time of his injury. Despite initial pessimistic assessments of the severity of his injury, he recovered to take part in the next round of the championship.[18]

Bianchi remained with ART for 2011, and was partnered by 2010 GP3 Series champion Esteban Gutiérrez. He starred in the first two rounds of the 2011 GP2 Asia Series, holding off Romain Grosjean for victory in the feature race[19] and gaining fourth in the sprint race,[20] but he was later penalised.[21] He finished runner-up to Grosjean in the drivers' championship.[22] In the main series, Bianchi finished third in the championship, behind Grosjean and Luca Filipp.
Formula Renault 3.5[]
Bianchi opted to switch to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for 2012, following his one-off appearance in the category in 2009. He signed for the Tech 1 Racing team, and was partnered with Kevin Korjus,[23] and later with Daniel Abt.
Formula One[]
Ferrari and Sahara Force India[]
In August 2009, Bianchi was linked by the BBC and various other media sources to the second Ferrari Formula One seat occupied by Luca Badoer during Felipe Massa's absence.[24][25] Bianchi tested for Ferrari at the young drivers test at Circuito de Jerez for two of the three days, over 1–2 December 2009.[26] This allowed for Ferrari to test Daniel Zampieri, Marco Zipoli and Pablo Sánchez López on 3 December, as they finished in the top three of the 2009 Italian Formula Three Championship. Teams have a three day annual window for test drivers under contract with others. Bianchi's performance on day one of the test led to him being signed by Scuderia Ferrari as a young driver along with Daniel Zampieri, Mirko Bortolotti and Raffaele Marciello.[27]
On 11 November 2010 he was confirmed by Ferrari as the team's test and reserve driver for the 2011 season, replacing Luca Badoer, Giancarlo Fisichella and Marc Gené, as well as confirming he would test for the team during the young driver test in Abu Dhabi over 16–17 November.[28] Bianchi carried on his GP2 Series racing, as Formula 1 allows test and reserve drivers to race in parallel in other competitions. On 13 September 2011, Bianchi tested for Ferrari at Fiorano, as part of the Ferrari Driver Academy, with fellow academy member and Sauber F1 driver Sergio Pérez. Bianchi completed 70 laps and recorded a quickest lap time of 1:00.213.[29] For the 2012 season, Ferrari loaned him to the Force India team, for whom he drove in nine Friday free practice sessions over the course of the year as the outfit's test and reserve driver.[30]
Marussia[]
2013[]

On 1 March 2013, Marussia announced that Bianchi was to replace Luiz Razia as a race driver after Razia's contract was terminated, due to sponsorship issues.[31] Bianchi qualified 19th for the Australian Grand Prix, out-qualifying team-mate Max Chilton by three-quarters of a second. Bianchi overtook Pastor Maldonado, and Daniel Ricciardo on the first lap and he eventually finished 15th on his debut.[32] He was 19th on the grid again in Malaysia, 0.3 seconds away from Q2. Bianchi fell behind the Caterhams at the start of the race, but moved up the order after the pit stops, eventually going on to finish 13th, ahead of his teammate, and both Caterhams.[33] As of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Bianchi had beaten his teammate in all qualifying sessions and all races that both of them had finished.[34] In the Japanese Grand Prix he and Charles Pic of Caterham were given 10 place grid penalty for receiving three reprimands over the season, and at the race, his race ended early after a collision with Giedo van der Garde.[35]
2014[]

In October 2013, Marussia confirmed that Bianchi would stay at the team for the following season.[36] After starting off the season with struggles in Australia, in which he was not classified, Bianchi overcame the odds to score his – and his team's – first World Championship points by finishing ninth at the Monaco Grand Prix.[1][37]
Out of the nine races which Bianchi and Max Chilton have completed without retiring, during the 2014 season so far, he has been the quicker driver in 8 of them, establishing his status as the first driver.[38][39] Chilton has retired twice, and Bianchi 5 times, with 4 of Bianchi's retirements being mechanical failures.
The Monday after the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, in which Bianchi suffered severe head injuries, then outgoing Ferrari President, Luca di Montezemolo, disclosed to the media that Bianchi was poised to be the third Ferrari F1 driver in 2015 in the event that the sport moved to three car teams as widely speculated at the time.[40]
At the inaugural 2014 Russian Grand Prix on 12 October 2014, in place of the hospitalized Bianchi, Marussia F1 Team originally registered in the participant list the American debutant, Alexander Rossi, before finally deciding to field a single car driven by Bianchi's team-mate, Max Chilton.[41] In addition, at the same venue:
- fellow Frenchman and F1 driver, Jean-Eric Vergne, who is a good friend of Bianchi and is said to have been deeply affected by the Suzuka accident, championed the idea for helmet stickers to honour and support Bianchi[42]
- the Marussia F1 team adopted "#JB17" livery on the cockpit sides of its MR03 car, being a reference to their injured driver's initials and race number (in addition to the other Twitter hashtag since the accident, #ForzaJules)
- F1 drivers held a 1-minute silence in honour of Bianchi just before Sunday's race
- eventual race winner, Lewis Hamilton, dedicated his win to Bianchi.
During the subsequent week of 13 October 2014, Marussia's CEO Graeme Lowdon confirmed that the team would return to a 2 car operation for the remainder of the F1 season. At heart, is the team's desire to defend their 9th position in the Constructors' Championship, which is owed to Bianchi thanks to scoring his own and Marussia's first ever points at the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix.[43] However, on 25 October 2014, it was announced that the team would not race at the US Grand Prix due to financial reasons, with doubts also raised about their ability to participate at the Brazilian Grand Prix.[44] Ultimately, the team folded on 7 November 2014 as announced by its administrator.[45]
2014 Suzuka accident[]
On lap 43 of the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, which was held on Sunday, 5 October, under intermittent heavy rainfall caused by the approaching Typhoon Phanfone, Bianchi lost control of his car and veered right towards the run-off area on the outside of the Dunlop Curve (turn 7) of the Suzuka Circuit. He collided head-on with, and perpendicular to, the rear of a tractor crane tending to the removal of Adrian Sutil's Sauber after he had himself spun out of control and crashed in the same area a lap before. Bianchi's accident caused the race to be red flagged and ended nine laps earlier than the 53-lap full race distance. Bianchi was reported as being unconscious after not responding to either a team radio call or marshals. Spectators' video footage and photographs of the accident revealed that the left side of Bianchi's Marussia car was extensively damaged and the roll bar destroyed as it slid under the tractor crane. The impact was such that the tractor crane was partially jolted off the ground causing Sutil's Sauber, which was suspended in the air by the crane, to fall back to the ground.
In the first instance, he was medically attended to at the crash site before being transported by ambulance to the circuit's Medical Centre. Due to safety concerns with landing caused by the precarious weather conditions, it was determined that emergency transport by helicopter was not possible. Bianchi was thus further transported by ambulance for 32 minutes,[46] under police escort, to the Mie University hospital in Yokkaichi, the nearest hospital to the circuit some Template:Convert/ away.[47][48][49] Initial reports by his father, Philippe, to France 3 broadcaster were that Bianchi was in critical condition with a head injury and was undergoing an operation to reduce severe bruising to his head.[50][51] The FIA subsequently released a statement that CT scans showed Bianchi suffered a "severe head injury" in the crash, and that he would be admitted in intensive care following surgery.[2][52]
Amongst the first hospital visitors were Marussia's CEO Graeme Lowdon and team principal John Booth (the latter staying by Bianchi's side even after the inaugural Russian Grand Prix) as well as Ferrari's team principal Marco Mattiacci (given Bianchi's status as a Ferrari Academy driver) and retired F1 driver, Felipe Massa. On the Monday after the Suzuka race, also seen visiting the Mie University were current F1 driver were Pastor Maldonado and Bianchi's Manager and Assistant Manager, Nicolas Todt and Alessandro Alunni Bravi, respectively.[53]
Bianchi's parents, who arrived in Japan late on Monday (joined, that Thursday, by their other children, Mélanie and Tom, and Jules' best friend, Lorenz Leclerc[54]) released a statement on Tuesday, 7 October, expressing appreciation for the outpouring of support from the public and for the presence of Professor Gerard Saillant, President of the FIA Medical Commission, and Professor Alessandro Frati, Neurosurgeon of the Sapienza University of Rome, who has travelled to Japan at the request of Scuderia Ferrari. They also provided a medical update, confirming that the injury suffered was a diffuse axonal injury and that Bianchi is in a critical but stable condition.[3][55][56] A prognosis of the injury or its after-effects will not be known for weeks or at least a month according to medical specialists.[57]
Within days of the accident, unconfirmed media reports suggested that the crash occurred at a speed exceeding Template:Convert/kph[58] and that the impact generated over [[g-force|Template:Convert/g0]].[59] In the following fortnight, media reports said to be based on information obtained from FIA documents have claimed that the speed of impact was recorded at Template:Convert/kph[60] and that the impact generated [[g-force|Template:Convert/g0]].[61]
Bianchi's crash represented the first accident that resulted in major injury to a driver during a Formula One weekend since the head injuries suffered by Felipe Massa while qualifying for the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.[62] It is also another major accident for the Marussia F1 team since 2012 when, at the FIA-approved Duxford Aerodrome testing facility, reserve driver Maria De Villota suffered major head injuries after colliding with a stationary truck, upon returning to the service area from straight-line testing.[63]
In the week beginning 13 October 2014, Bianchi's father is reported to have stated to Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport, that Jules' condition is "desperate", with doctors describing his survival as a miracle, and that he believes his son will succeed in "the most important qualifying lap of his life", also drawing hope from Michael Schumacher coming out of his coma.[64] Over the same period, other than providing an official statement on Bianchi's conditions, the Marussia team also publicly condemned various media reports making speculative assertions about the team's direct role in the accident.[65]
Since then, Bianchi's mother, Christine, is said to have voiced her frustrations to a RTL correspondent about not being able to talk, but referring to people shirking responsibility and confirming that her son is being very well treated in hospital.[66]
A week later, Italy's Omnicorse published a story which claimed that Jules Bianchi's condition was stable enough for relocation from Japan to Europe, suggesting recovery at the Swiss University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne where Michael Schumacher received treatment for his 2013 skiing-related brain injury.[67] In response, via another joint statement by the Bianchi family and the Marussia team on the evening of the United States Grand Prix, it was reconfirmed that Bianchi is still in a critical but stable condition and that his treatment will continue in Yokkaichi, Japan.[68]
Coinciding with the 2014 Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, and amidst talks of Marussia's return from administration for the season finale, the former team CEO, Graeme Lowdon, confirmed that Bianchi's conditions remain unchanged, being stable but critical.[69]
FIA investigation[]
Immediately after the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, the FIA launched a full investigation of the accident. Initial findings were released at a special conference held by the FIA at the inaugural Russian Grand Prix on the following Saturday. Among other things, it was revealed that Bianchi had slowed down at turn 7 but without disclosing by what margin or the speed of impact, and that the journey to the hospital by ambulance took only an extra 7 minutes relative to the helicopter, without any adverse effects on Bianchi's condition. Further, the FIA confirmed ongoing research into closed cockpits for F1 cars, the possibility of fitting protective skirting to all recovery vehicles as well as ways to slow down cars in crash zones more effectively than double yellow flags (e.g. by adopting a Virtual Safety Car or VSC system first tested at the subsequent 2014 United States Grand Prix and inspired by a Le Mans type "slow zone" arrangement which does not neutralize a race as does a Safety Car period).[70]
Following on from the above, in the week beginning 13 October 2014, the FIA reportedly emailed all F1 teams to request that they retain any information related to Bianchi's accident at Suzuka, as part of assisting an accident investigation panel.[71]
On 20 October 2014, the FIA announced a 10 member composition of their accident panel that includes, among others, former Ferrari (and currently inactive) F1 team principals Ross Brawn and Stefano Domenicali. The panel's work started in the same week, with full findings to be presented at the next meeting of the FIA World Motor Sport Council on 3 December 2014, in Doha, Qatar.[72]
In the week beginning 27 October 2014, Italy's Autosprint published a story claiming that the FIA panel is looking into whether Bianchi's crash may have been caused by the new-for-2014 brake-by-wire system fitted to all F1 cars. At the same time, the Swiss newspaper Blick reported that a company called Air Zermatt presented to the FIA a proposal for stricken F1 cars to be air lifted from run off areas by helicopter thus avoiding recovery vehicles being on track during any race.[73] This method was first tested in 2005 by the A1 Grand Prix series.[74]
For the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend in the first week of November 2014, procedures relating to the location of a tractor crane serving the Senna "S" chicane were altered in response to Bianchi's crash.[75]
Death[]
Bianchi died on 17 July 2015, aged 25, from injuries sustained at the time of his accident in Suzuka nine months prior. His death made him the first Formula One driver to be killed by injuries sustained during a Grand Prix since Ayrton Senna in 1994.
The funeral service was held at the Nice Cathedral, on 21 July 2015. He lies at rest in his native city. Many prominent driver figures attended Bianchi's funeral, such as Alexander Wurz, Esteban Gutiérrez, Allan McNish, Alexander Rossi,Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel, Jean-Éric Vergne, Marcus Ericsson, Roberto Merhi, Adrian Sutil, Valtteri Bottas, Pastor Maldonado, Pedro de la Rosa, Romain Grosjean, Daniel Ricciardo, Felipe Massa, Alain Prost, Nico Hülkenberg, Olivier Panis, Daniil Kvyat and Max Chilton.
In May 2016 it was announced that Bianchi's family plans to take legal action against the FIA, Bianchi's Marussia team and Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Group.
