My Take
Anthoine Hubert was one of those rare young talents who made you sit up and pay attention — a French kid from Lyon who climbed through the junior single-seater ranks with a quiet confidence that felt mature beyond his years. Winning the 2018 GP3 Series title as a Renault Academy driver put him firmly on the path to Formula One, and watching him compete in Formula 2 in 2019, you could see a driver who wasn't just fast but genuinely composed. His death at Spa on August 31, 2019, at just 22 years old, hit the motorsport world hard — not just because of what was lost, but because of how much more there clearly was to come. I think about him every time Spa comes around on the calendar.
