Just read the sad news that Jules has passed. How sad that we'll never see his talent......
It marks the first death since the great Senna in 1994. RIP Jules....

Sadly inevitable, and so unnecessary

Terrible news. :( RIP - to think he was being earmarked as a future Ferrari driver too.
The greatest tragedy is that it was so preventable. It was the exact same circumstances as Martin Brundle's accident in Suzuka 20 years earlier, with a rescue vehicle on a wet track in racing conditions. Mercifully then, no one was killed.
I hope for the Bianchi family's sake, F1 has a long hard look at itself and carefully considers any response to this.
Au revoir, Jules.

It's awful to see this news, but very sadly not too unexpected.
2014 was a horrible year for this. With Michael's accident, Jenson's dad and Brian Hart passing, amongst others early on, at that time I had a bad foreboding of something happening to a driver and wish I had said something back then. :(
I agree F1 must learn from this because it was needless as drivers took increasingly more risks with yellow flags without anyone stepping in and stopping it.
I will save my comments about the incident for another day
but for now, this is just awful news
I'm sure the family, especially his father, have braced themselves for this inevitable day
RIP Jules, gone but not forgotten

Awful news to wake up to, but at least his family can now find peace. It's been a very difficult and long drawn out nightmare for them. So much potential gone in a fraction of a second on track.
RIP Jules you won't be forgotten.
Excellent point. I just got done watching hi-lites of the 1973 British GP, and having watched footage from the aftermath of Scheckter's accident that I haven't seen before; it was unbelievable that the entire officiating focus was directed towards the scene itself and NO red flag (or yellow) was presented to the leaders until Stewart already entered Woocote Corner w/Peterson in close tow - both narrowly including themselves in the melee.
It's unacceptable that a similar matter would be a topic of today, over 40 years later.
Sad news indeed, but at least he is at peace now.
RIP Jules you will be missed and never forgotten
RIP Jules.
A very sad day for Formula 1.
RIP Jules...
The last day he probably experienced the world with senses was the Japanese GP day...
But officially now... first F1 death since Ayrton Senna. Tragic. But sometimes it was argued "this can't last forever, anything can happen" even though we have enjoyed very high level of safety standards for some time by now.
