Sadly, albeit not surprising, especially
after learning just how nasty his head injuries were, I first heard the news
late Friday evening via the Indianapolis Star
that Jules Bianchi had finally succumbed from his
ill-fated accident last October at Suzuka after nine months in a coma.
That words alone, including whatever I
scribble here on this 'lil BLOB' as thy late esteemed 'Awntie Harriet
christened it obviously cannot even do justice to what the Bianchi family is experiencing
right now! Although I'd just like to say how impressed I've been with their forthrightness
over their son's medical condition every step of the way.
While motorsports in general have been rocked by
countless tragedies over the years, much has occurred in Formula 1 between
Ayrton Senna, the last driver fatality from a race up to Jules death ,
including the late Maria de Villota who also succumbed to head injuries from
her F1 testing accident, eerily for Marussia...
As naturally much
of the Formula 1 fraternity and beyond have all posted their respects
electronically, for which a wide sampling of have been presented in the story
below.
FORZA JULES!
