Jules Bianchi's stolen kart found

      We reported on the unpleasant story that befell the family of Jules Bianchi, a talented driver who died from the severe injuries he suffered at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

      In early January nine karts belonging to the Bianchi family, including the last kart Jules had driven, were stolen. However, today Philippe Bianchi, the driver’s father, said that his son’s kart has been found.

      “I am very happy to confirm that Jules Bianchi’s kart has been found!” Philippe Bianchi wrote on social media. “It is a huge relief for our whole family.

      A huge thank you to everyone who shared the information on social media, to the press who spread the news, and to the Brignoles gendarmerie for their efforts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made the return possible.

      We still have to find several karts and a minibike, but thanks to all of you I very much hope we will succeed. Forever Jules!”
