Anthoine Hubert died at the Spa-Francorchamps track following a 160 mph (257 kph) crash in the Formula 2 Belgian Grand Prix two years ago, but his memory is still very much alive for everyone. Hubert was the first driver to die during a Formula 1 race weekend since 1994, when Ayrton Senna was killed at the San Marino Grand Prix.
The incident at Spa-Francorchamps in 2019 happened when Anthoine Hubert appeared to lose control of his car on the exit of a corner before slamming into the far-side barrier.

Correa broke both of his legs and injured his spinal cord and was transported to hospital in London following an operation in Liege.
French Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi died in July 2015, nine months after a head-on collision with a trackside crane at the rain-soaked Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.
