Well tbf; I wouldn't have known much about Antione Hubert's career as a motorsport driver. But I did watch a short clip of the crash on YT this evening & I was horrified by the outcome of it. It was just so shocking to see it happen so suddenly. It was like relaying the images of Billy Monger's F3 crash in my head when he lost his legs when he talked about it from his BBC III documentary on BBC Two in January. Yes Billy Monger did survive the crash but Jules Bianchi, who is Charles LeClerc's godfather, didn't have that luxury of surviving his huge F1 accident. He died in his mid 20's. It shows us that competing in something like motorsport is primarily not a safe thing to do when people take part in it as a career when may not fully take stock of the whole surroundings around them when they are out on the race track. If you do something wrong in the sport which has the potential to endanger your life so abruptly; the effect of that pain spreads very rapidly to other people to others who do love you & care for you throughout your whole life.
I watched Steve Jones announcement about Hubert's death just before the end of the highlights coverage on Channel 4 this evening. It just felt like a body blow to him when he was saying it to the TV audience out on camera. He just felt awful about what happened to Antione. He did his best to relay the message to the F1 viewers who had missed the race earlier that day. I do wonder about how the Channel 4 team will handle the reaction of this news tomorrow because, as a mark of respect to Hubert's family & team mates, it has been officially confirmed this evening that the F2 race which was due to take place at Spa tomorrow has been cancelled.
