On July 17, 2015, Jules Bianchi left us after a long struggle following his terrible accident at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. The Frenchman, a Marussia driver, was taken to a nearby hospital before being repatriated to France.

Successfully passed into the European single-seater series, including the title in Formula 3 Euro Series (2009 champion), the Niçois had joined the Ferrari fold that same year, and seemed destined to one day drive for the Team, who has since supported him throughout his career.

After a vice-champion title in FR 3.5 in 2012 and a position as a test driver with Force India, Jules Bianchi started in F1 in racing within the Marussia team in 2013. It was in the streets of the Principality of Monaco the following year that he achieved an authentic feat by taking ninth place.

On July 17, 2023, the entire AUTO editorial teamhebdo wanted to once again pay tribute to Jules Bianchi.
