Rename the Monaco GP Turn 10/11 Chicane to the "Bianchi Chicane" in his memory


Rename the Monaco GP Turn 10/11 Chicane to the "Bianchi Chicane" in his memory
The Issue
During his career, Jules Bianchi was a prominent racing driver, rising through the ranks to the highest levels of Formula One to become a test driver at Scuderia Ferrari and Force India (now Sahara Force India) as well as a Race Driver for the Marussia team (Now Manor Motorsports). He quickly established himself as a talented driver in a short amount of time and was often hailed as a future world champion. An example of this being his brilliant drive at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2014 when he secured a 9th place finish for Marussia, thus securing his and the teams first points.
Sadly, his career was cut short in a freak accident at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix in which he sustained severe injuries. Despite fighting these injuries, he died 9 months later on the 17th July 2015. The fact that he had a bright career ahead of him before his accident makes his death, much more upsetting. Because of this, I feel that it would be good gesture to rename one of the corners at the Monaco Grand Prix in his name in memory to his stunning drive at the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix and his talent. Such a talented and likable man deserves a proper tribute that will all help us remember just how good he was at the sport he loved. Therefore, I call upon the Automobile Club de Monaco (the race organisers) to rename the Turn 10/11 chicane to the "Bianchi Chicane" as a tribute to the man who will be missed by all of Motorsports and indeed, the world.
Rest in Peace Jules Bianchi (3 August 1989 – 17 July 2015)
