Overview

  • Philippe Bianchi announced on Tuesday that his late son’s kart had been found, calling it an immense joy and a huge relief for the family.
  • The burglary last week involved nine karts taken from the family home in Brignoles, including the last kart Jules raced before moving to single-seaters, plus several mini-karts belonging to his grandsons.
