SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Formula One rookie Lando Norris admitted after the Belgian Grand Prix he had struggled to come to terms with the accident which claimed the life of F2 driver Anthoine Hubert a day earlier.
Hubert, 22, was killed after losing control of his BWT Arden car and being hit at high-speed by another car during F2's feature race on Saturday. The French driver, a member of Renault F1's junior academy, was a rising star in the junior ranks and was contesting the feeder series Norris, 19, raced in last year.
The F1 race went ahead as planned, albeit after a minute's silence to Hubert ahead of the start.
