Paris: The family of Formula One driver Jules Bianchi has already paid a heavy price in motorsports.
The 25-year-old Bianchi, who is in intensive care with a severe head injury, crashed during the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday.
In 1969, his great-uncle, Lucien Bianchi, died in an accident during testing at the Le Mans race track when he crashed his Alfa Romeo into a post, a year after winning the prestigious endurance race.
Lucien Bianchi was regarded as one of the most talented drivers of his generation.
Bianchi is also the grandson of Mauro Bianchi, a three-time world champion in the GT Sports car class.
