A year and a half after his, the city of Nice honoured the memory of Jules Bianchi by naming a street after the late French F1 driver.
A ceremony unveiling the street took place yesterday in the presence of Bianchi's family and local community leaders.
Bianchi died in hospital in Nice after nine months in a coma following injuries sustained in a horrific crash in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
The Marussia-Manor hopeful was on his way to stardom and tipped as a future Ferrari driver at the time.
The 'Rue Jules Bianchi' is located near the city's Allianz Riviera stadium and links up with the Rue Camille Muffat, named after the Nice-born 2012 Olympic swimming champion who died in a helicopter crash in Argentina in March 2015 at the age of 25.
"Jules loved football," said Bianchi's father Philippe.
"We are delighted with the position, in such a dynamic zone, and so full of promise."
