You may recall that de Villota was seriously
injured over one year ago when performing her very first straight-line Aero
test for the Marussia F1 team where she unexpectedly careened into the tailgate
of a support truck during the test and ultimately lost her right eye, hence
effectively curtailing her Formula 1 aspirations...
As unfortunately it appears that Maria's
sudden death from natural causes could be a lingering bi-product of her head
injuries from said F1 testing accident...
