Anthoine Hubert 1996-2019

Before I start, Motorsport is dangerous sport. No matter if its Go-Karting, motorbikes, Formula 1, Indy Car, any kind of Motorsport is dangerous, but Motorsport can be safer between tracks, fans, spectators, tracks marshals, people in pits, cars and drivers too.

Formula 2 racer Anthoine Hubert died yesterday (31/8/2019) following a serious crash with Juan Manuel Correa on Lap 2 of the Formula 2 feature race at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.



Hubert was involved in a serious crash with Juan Manuel Correa on Lap 3 of the Formula 2 feature race at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.

Hubert crashed at Raidillon at about 170mph, with Juan Manuel Correa crashing into him at impact. After being transported to the circuit's medical centre post-crash, Hubert died from his injuries; while Correa was taken to Liege hospital and is in a stable condition, the FIA confirmed. While both Formula 2 races this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps have been cancelled.

Hubert's death is the first fatality in a major international motor-race since Justin Wilson when he was hit on the head by debris during an IndyCar race at Pocono, Pennsylvania in August 2015.

Condolences goes to Anthoine's family and friends, Hubert won last years GP3 Championship with ART. Moved up to Formula 2 with Arden this season while contracted with the Renault F1 Sport Academy team. Hubert was lying eighth in the F2 championship and had scored two wins this season, in Monaco and France.



Rest in Peace Anthoine Hubert, you will be much missed.
