Tragic death of Anthoine Hubert

Renault Sport #racing is devastated at the loss of one of its brightest young talents, #anthoinehubert, who passed away today following an accident involving several cars at Circuit #spafrancorchamps, Belgium. The 22-year-old Frenchman was #racing for BWT-Arden in the FIA Formula 2 Championship.

Anthoine was a member of the #renaultsport Academy and raced in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, the final ladder to #f1. As reigning GP3 champion and member of the Equipe de France, FFSA (French Federation of Motorsport), the Frenchman was a huge talent who also brought great energy and positivity to his championship, his teams and the #renaultsport Academy. 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, including wins on home soil in Monaco and France, inspired not just the other recruits but also the wider #renaultsport #racing group. 

Cyril Abiteboul, managing director of #renaultsport #racing, said

"Our thoughts are with Anthoine’s friends and family at this tragic time. Anthoine was a bright young man. His performance and conduct on and off track was that of a true gentleman and it was a pleasure and honour to have had him within our Academy. He will be sorely missed by our teams at Enstone and Viry. His spirit will remain with the team and we will race in his memory."
