The last race had a little tribute to Jules Bianchi. I never knew he was so popular with the other drivers, and how they all said he had enormous talent. What shocked me was that he was pegged to take over Massa's seat in the second Ferrari alongside Alonso. Ferrari doesn't hand the keys over to any newbie, so they obviously thought highly of him. But Ferrari signed Kimi Raikkonen, and Bianchi stayed put at Marussia.

Then when rumors were flying that Raikkonen would retire, Bianchi was again the prime candidate. But then Ferrari obtained Vettel, booted Alonso, and Raikkonen decided to stay.

Vettel said that Bianchi was still the guy they would pit in Raikkonen's car when he Kimi retired. But tragedy occurred, and the racing world lost a great driver in Jules Bianchi.

Spa-Francorchamps....a classic track.
