French Formula 1 racing driver Jules Bianchi died on Saturday from the serious head injuries he sustained in a brutal crash at the Japanese Grand Prix nine months ago. He was 25.
Bianchi had been in a coma since his Marussia car collided with a recovery vehicle in Suzuka last year. He died in a hospital near the southern French city of Nice, surrounded by his family, his team said.
Officials at Manor, formerly known as Marussia, said in a statement on the team's Facebook page that the news of Bianchi's death was received with "enormous sadness."
"Words cannot describe the enormous sadness within our team this morning, as we come to terms with losing Jules," team principal John Booth said. "He has left an indelible mark on all our lives, and will forever be part of everything we have achieved, and everything we will strive for going forward."
