Plea made to find stolen karts of late F1 racer Jules Bianchi
Philippe Bianchi, the father of late Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi, recently made a heartfelt plea on social media after the theft of multiple karts, including Jules’ last raced kart.
Jules Bianchi was a highly regarded talent in Ferrari’s Young Driver Programme, debuting in F1 with Marussia in 2013 and scoring points at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2014.
Sadly, his promising career was cut short in 2014 during the Japanese Grand Prix due to a tragic accident that resulted in severe head trauma.
After being in a coma for nine months, Jules Bianchi passed away on July 17, 2015, becoming the first F1 driver to lose his life in an incident since Ayrton Senna in 1994.
In honoring Jules’ legacy, Philippe Bianchi established a foundation to support aspiring young drivers.
Recently, Philippe Bianchi announced the theft of nine JB17 Forever karting chassis and Jules’ last raced KZ 125 ART GP model, appealing for assistance in their recovery.
He emotionally urged the karting community to report any sighting of the stolen karts and expressed gratitude in advance for their help in this difficult situation.
