Jules Bianchi updates
Discussion
the other me said:
Given his fathers statement on 13th July ( "If he had a severe handicap, we are convinced that is not what Jules would want. We talked about it. He discussed with us that if one day he had an accident like that of Michael Schumacher, that even if his only handicap was not being able to drive, he would have a lot of difficulty living. Because it was his life." ) I think it is perhaps a decision on his families part to discontinue life support, that has provided them & Jules with relief from this awful limbo that he seemed unable to escape from.
A brave and gut wrenching decision for them if that is the case, and as his father said, it is not how Jules would have wished to live his life, paraplegic or worse in a wheelchair.

Indeed. I had a similar suspicion.
None of our business though, of course.
RIP either way.

Nothing more to add other than its so sad and RIP.
A terrible situation all round, and something that's been on my mind at some point most days since October.
His family have handled the situation very well considering the situation, and hopefully this provides them with some closure.
We'll never know what might have been, but I suspect a Ferrari seat was surely on the cards in the near future.
RIP Jules.

What a tragedy - I'm glad that the family has a degree of closure, if only it had been on the other end of the spectrum though. Beyond JB seeming like a great guy his family have also acted with such dignity over the past 9 months too, so hopefully people will give them their space to grieve. Farewell Jules.

RIP
What distresses me is he died so young, huge talent and potential for great things that was never closely - let alone fully - realised.
Paradoxically, tragedy makes motorsport such a great sport. What mainstream sport, if at all, shares such extreme emotions?
