Maybe Correa hit this?I’m not sure if Correa has any damage to his car. Let’s lift him up and remember him.

His line through the run off area is not one I believe could be corrected to rejoin the track. Anthoine, we miss you already.”The Williams driver George Russell, who raced alongside Hubert for ART in GP3 in 2017 posted a picture of the pair together on the podium, a heart and the words: “I can not believe it. Apparently, there was some contact between Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi in the La Source hairpin, with Latifi driving the whole lap back to the pits with the flat tyre, according to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport.After the puncture on the left side, Alesi crests the hill above Eau Rouge, spins and spills pieces of carbon fibre across the track. However, at nearly 7pm local time, the FIA announced that Hubert had died as a result of his injuries. The FIA has been mandating full tarmac run-off over the years across all the ‘classic circuits’ as it is believed that should a car come off the circuit, it’s more likely to keep control and less likely to roll over.Many older drivers disagree with this policy claiming that if you have that safe run-off and merely only dodge an incident by moving into the tarmac run-off zone, you are almost always going to keep your foot flat to the floor, which is exactly what Hubert and Correa did.“The drivers lose the feeling for risk.

He began racing in karts in 2004, was the French F4 champion in 2013 and showed great promise when he became the GP3 champion last year, before stepping up to F2.A statement from the FIA read: “The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile regrets to advise that a serious incident involving cars 12, 19 and 20 occurred at 17:07 on 31/08/19 as a part of the FIA Formula 2 feature race at Spa-Francorchamps, round 17 of the season.“The scene was immediately attended by emergency and medical crews, and all drivers were taken to the medical centre.“As a result of the incident, the FIA regrets to inform that the driver of car 19, Anthoine Hubert (FRA), succumbed to his injuries, and passed away at 18:35.“The driver of car 12, Juan-Manuel Correa (USA), is in a stable condition and is being treated at the CHU Liège hospital. It’s possible that debris was the fault of someone else,” claims former F1 drive and father of Giuliano, Jean Alesi. All rights reserved.
The race was cancelled after the crash on the second lap at Spa-Francorchamps.

The big problem being that because of the steepness of the incline, the entrance onto Kemmel is essentially blind.

RIP my friend.”An official statement from F1 described Hubert as “a fantastic driver”, adding: “He was kind to everyone, always smiling, and his positive attitude was infectious.

More information on his condition will be provided when it becomes available.“The driver of car 20 Giuliano Alesi (FRA) was checked and declared fit at the medical centre.“The FIA is providing support to the event organisers and the relevant authorities and has commenced an investigation into the incident.”As the F2 field exited Eau Rouge and headed into the Kemmel Straight, Hubert went off into the barrier and spun back in to the path of Correa, who was launched into the air by the impact, leaving both cars in pieces.

In the high-speed incident involving Hubert and Juan Manuel Correa both cars took major damage but Hubert’s almost disintegrated.The race was stopped as marshals attended the scene and there was no immediate confirmation of the medical status of either driver.

They feel invulnerable.”Maybe a rethink into how circuits have been altered should be considered? if anything occurs at the start of Kemmel there is almost no time to react, and with the FIA having mandated tarmac run-offs, drivers keep their foot to the floor and use the run-off. It’s now flat out from La Source through Eau Rouge / Raidillon onto Kemmel. Small mercies.The FIA has also started its accident analysis, TJ13 hopes and prays that it will be more involved and less bias that the debacle that surrounded the Bianchi incident where Whiting and co were clearly culpable.Saturday was sickening disbelief, Sunday could perhaps be part of the mourning process for fans of racing, but today should be the day that the search for answers begins.

Rest in peace brother.”Further tributes to the young driver were widespread across the paddock. He was not even on the track, but strewn in the run off area. We then see the rear wing of Alesi’s car fly across the road.
