Emotional gift
“They are proud of you!” Noble gesture from Leclerc
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has presented the family of his deceased friend and godfather Jules Bianchi with his winning helmet from Monaco. They were moved to tears and thanked the Formula 1 driver with warm words.
"Thank you, Charles, for this gift, for your tribute, for your support for Jules. The whole Bianchi family congratulates you on your fantastic victory in Monaco. Hervé and Jules are certainly proud of you as a great man and a great racing driver," Philippe Bianchi, father of the deceased Formula 1 driver Jules, expressed emotionally on Instagram.
Shortly beforehand, Monaco champion Leclerc had given the family his winning helmet. He wanted to honor his deceased friend and godfather. Lelcerc and Bianchi had a close bond. Their fathers were long-time friends. The Monegasque saw his godfather, who was eight years older, as a great role model.
Several tragic losses
Bianchi had an accident on October 5, 2014 during the race weekend in Japan. The Frenchman lost control of his car on the wet track and slid under the rear of a parked recovery vehicle. He suffered serious head injuries and died after nine months in a coma.
It was not the only stroke of fate that the young Ferrari driver had already suffered. His father Herve Leclerc also died in 2017 after a long battle with cancer. In 2019, his long-time companion Anthoine Hubert also died after an accident.
