    'His smile and sunny personality lit up our formidable group'

  • "His smile and sunny personality lit up our formidable group of young drivers, who had formed tight and enduring bonds. His strong results in F2 this season, inspired not just the other recruits but also the wider Renault Sport Racing group," the statement added.

  • Our take

    Element of risk is always involved in motorsports

    Element of risk is always involved in motorsports
  • The incident has left everyone stunned in the world of motorsports.

    Several drivers from across the fraternity and teams paid tribute to Hubert on social media outlets.

    Motorsport comes in with its risk and despite modern day safety standards and equipments, there is always a threat looming.

    When cars are driven over 100mph, the element of risk is always looming.

    Drivers embrace that.
