Most people into F1 will remember Maria De Villota, she test drove for Marrusia and had a serious accident not long ago where she lost an eye.

Only 33 years old

Apparently died of natural causes???

Would be stunned if that was the case.

Awful news, though, very sad.

Doctors have informed her family that she died as a result of her injuries from last years accident. I can only imagine she must have had some form of brain injury / haemorrhage?

Sounds bloody awful, was something like that always on the cards, or did doctors miss something? I never heard anything in the media about something potentially happening?
