It’s hard to talk racing when something so terrible is affecting us all. It will take weeks or months before we know the full extent of Jules Bianchi’s injuries, but we already know and have to accept the most probable outcome. Formula 1 has lost its most brilliant future star, the young frenchman was being groomed by Ferrari and was just learning the ropes at Marussia waiting for his time to come. All of that ...
