When Was The Last Time An F1 Driver Died?

The last time an F1 driver died was in 2015.

Jules Bianchi is the most recent driver to have been fatally injured during a World Championship Grand Prix.

He died in July 2015, nine months after sustaining severe head injuries during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

Jules, a French motor racing driver, drove for the Marussia F1 Team in the FIA Formula One World Championship.

Jules had previously raced in Formula Renault 3.5, GP2 and Formula Three and was a Ferrari Driver Academy member.

Formula One (F1) is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), motorsport’s world governing body.

The “formula” in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform.

The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets.

The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.
