Jules Bianchi, 25, dies nine months after F1 driver crashed at Japanese Grand Prix Posted by TBN_News On 07/20/2015 (3 August 1989 – 17 July 2015) Jules Bianchi was a French motor racing driver who drove for Marussia F1 in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Bianchi had previously raced in Formula Renault 3.5, the GP2 Series and Formula Three and was a Ferrari Driver Academy member. He entered Formula One as a practice driver in 2012 for Sahara Force India. In 2013, he made his debut driving for Marussia, finishing 15th in his opening race in Australia and ended the season in 19th position without scoring any points. His best result that year 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 the Marussia's first points in Formula One at the Monaco Grand Prix. On 5 October 2014, during the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, Bianchi lost control of his Marussia in very wet conditions and collided with a recovery vehicle, suffering a diffuse axonal injury. He underwent emergency surgery and was then placed into an induced coma, and remained comatose until his death on 17 July 2015. Bianchi is the first Formula One driver to be killed as a result of an accident during a Grand Prix since 1994. Bianchi died from his injuries on 17 July 2015, aged 25. His death made him the first Formula One driver to be killed by injuries sustained during a Grand Prix since Ayrton Senna in 1994. In their official statement, Bianchi's family said: It is with deep sadness that the parents of Jules Bianchi, Philippe and Christine, his brother Tom and sister Mélanie, wish to make it known that Jules passed away last night at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Nice. Jules fought to the end, as he has always done, but yesterday his battle ended. We feel an immense and indescribable pain. Bianchi's funeral service is due to be held at the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate de Nice, on 21 July 2015. Copyright © 2021 thebaynet.com. All rights reserved. Page 1.

F1 Digest 2009 – Japan Preview This is F1 Digest 2009 – Japan Preview. After the streets of Singapore, we turn our attention to the circuit at Suzuka. Vital Statistics The Japanese Grand Prix takes place at Suzuka on the 4th October 2009. The track is 5.8 kilometres which eQuates to 53 laps. Kimi Raikkonen holds the lap record, securing a 1:31.540 in 2005. The last race at the circuit was in 2006, when the GP switched to Fuji. Back in ’06, Massa scored pole position with a 1:29.599. The long range weather forecast show rain and showers building up to the weekend, when it may start to dry up. Sunday is supposed to be cloudy but not wet. 2008 in 30 Seconds Last year’s Japanese race at Fuji saw Lewis Hamilton on pole, alongside Kimi Raikkonen. Lewis overshot the first corner, forcing Kimi wide and he received a penalty for it. On the next lap, Massa and Hamilton collided, and the Ferrari was given a penalty. However, Hamilton came off worse, as he ended up towards the back of the field. Massa also had an incident with Sebastien Bourdais, with a controversial penalty for the Toro Rosso. In the end, it was Alonso who was victorious, joined on the podium by Robert Kubica and Kimi. Team by Team We’ll start with McLaren, who are on a bit of a roll from Singapore. It is Hamilton’s first race at this circuit, and he says: "It feels like I've been waiting my whole life to race at Suzuka ‐ so, as you can imagine, I'll be really excited when practice starts there on Friday morning.

Increased Efficiency and Safety from New Formula 1 Technologies 12 March 2015, by Hamza Bendemra
Increased efficiency and safety from new Formula 1 technologies 12 March 2015, by Hamza Bendemra five to four, meaning each power unit will have to cover five races on average, as opposed to four last year. This will put added pressure on each team's engineers to ensure power units run efficiency and reliability. Furthermore, the minimum weight of the car has been increased from 691kg to 702kg for the car. This will result in more protective casing for the cars, and will also prevent teams from taking extraordinary steps to reach minimum weight. Last year, Sauber driver Adrian Sutil was reportedly going on extreme diets prior to races in attempt to shed weight. Formula 1 cars, such as this from Mercedes, this year will feature a lower nose than last year.

Jules Bianchi Believes Return on Investment Is Due
Oct 31, 2013 14:02 +08 Jules Bianchi believes return on investment is due Dubai: French rookie Jules Bianchi believes he and his QNET Marussia Formula One team can aspire to picking up points in the not too distant future. “We’ve been reliable with our results in our first season, and it’s just a matter of time when we start winning points,” Bianchi told Gulf News in an interview here before this weekend’s Etihad Airways Formula One Grand Prix at Yas Marina. Bianchi made his debut this season with the QNET-backed outfit. Though he and teammate Max Chilton are yet to win a point, consistency in the results in the 13 races so far has seen the team in tenth place ahead of arch-rivals Caterham. “As of now, we are definitely in a strong position for tenth position overall among the teams, and it would help us a lot to get that extra money so that we can have a reliable car for the new season,” Bianchi noted. The 24-year-old native from Nice previously raced in Formula Renault 3.5 in the GP2 Series and Formula Three. He comes in with a wholesome pedigree in motorsport as his grandfather Mauro Bianchi is a three-time world champion in the GT category and his great uncle Lucien won the gruelling 24-hour event in Le Mans in 1968 while also competing in 19 grands prix between 1959 and 1968. “We want a better car for the new season and the consistency and reliability that we’ve had so far.
