French driver was killed when hit by Juan Manuel Correa, an American (probably illegally in the USA, they kill a lot of people with vehicles).


Here is the story:

Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert has been killed in a crash at the Belgian Grand Prix, motorsport's governing body the FIA has said.
The Frenchman, who was 22, suffered a huge impact from the car of American Juan Manuel Correa at about 170mph at the Raidillon swerves.
An FIA statement said that Hubert was taken to the medical centre after the incident, and died at 18:35 local time.
Correa was taken to Liege hospital and is in a stable condition, the FIA said.
Why the motorsport 'family' races on after a driver pays the ultimate price
The race was stopped after the crash and cancelled within a few minutes when the potential seriousness of the accident became clear.
Formula 2 have announced that Sunday's sprint race at Spa has been cancelled "out of respect", while the Formula 3 race will go ahead.
Hubert, who drove for the BWT Arden team, was lying eighth in the championship and had scored two wins this season, in Monaco and France.
He was also was part of Renault F1's young driver programme. Renault said in a statement: "Anthoine was a member of the Renault Sport Academy and raced in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, the final ladder to F1.
"As reigning GP3 champion and member of the Equipe de France, FFSA (French Federation of Motorsport), the Frenchman was a huge talent who also brought great energy and positivity to his championship, his teams and the Renault Sport Academy.
"His smile and sunny personality lit up our formidable group of young drivers, who had formed tight and enduring bonds.
"His strong results in F2 this season, including wins on home soil in Monaco and France, inspired not just the other recruits but also the wider Renault Sport Racing group."
Other racing drivers and teams from across motorsport have paid tribute on social media.
Former F1 driver Fernando Alonso posted on Twitter: "What a sad afternoon. I have no words. It hurts the heart. Rest in peace, champ."
Lewis Hamilton wrote on Instagram: "This is devastating. God rest your soul Anthoine. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family today.
"If a single one of you watching and enjoying this sport think for a second what we do is safe your hugely mistaken. All these drivers put their life on the line when they hit the track and people need to appreciate that in a serious way because it is not appreciated enough.
"Not from the fans nor some of the people actually working in the sport. Anthoine is a hero as far as I'm concerned, for taking the risk he did to chase his dreams. I'm so sad that this has happened. Let's left him up and remember him. Rest in peace brother."
Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi said on Twitter: "We are boys who, with great sacrifice, chase their dreams. But we are first and foremost professionals. Anthoine was all this, but above all he was one of us. At this terrible time my thoughts are with his family and all the people who love him."

The crash occurred just after the daunting Eau Rouge corner

Hubert won at Monaco in May

Reminds me of the crash that cut off the legs of Alex Zanardi some years back.

Your comment is stupid, pointless, and irrelevant. Grow up.

So, is there a Formula 3, and a Formula 4, and a Formula Infinity Minus One?

I just that there was "Formula 1" and didn't know there were other numeric iterations.

Oh gimblets! Lemme get this strawhyte. White French guy loses control of his high speeding employers car, crashes, his own doing btw. Cars zipping by at insane speeds. And another car unable to maneuver away from the wreck slams into it.
And it’s now vehicular homicide, only because the driver is an Ecuadorian American.

Yall never cease to amaze me!Just how low you’ll go! The delusions are incredible. I have watched those compilations of race drivers crashing and dying. Some ending up being further hit by fellow drivers. Not once did I ever see a comment blaming the drivers of the other cars that hit the already crashed cars.
Oh Lawd!
