Henry
Surtees, the son of 1964 Formula 1 world champion John Surtees, has
died following an accident in a Formula 2 race at Brands Hatch on
Sunday.
During the second of the weekend's races, the 18-year-old was struck
on the head by a wheel and tyre from the car of Jack Clarke, who had
spun into the wall exiting Westfield Bend.
Surtees was knocked unconscious in the accident and his car failed
to negotiate the following Sheene Corner, running straight off the
track and into the barrier.
Medical crews were swiftly on the scene to extract Surtees from the
car, before he was taken to the track's medical centre. He was
stabilised at the circuit's facility before being airlifted to the
Royal London hospital.
A spokesperson for the hospital this evening confirmed that Surtees had died from his injuries.
Surtees graduated to F2 this season from Formula Renault and had
taken his first podium finish in the series with third place in
Saturday's race at Brands Hatch.
His step up to the category came after several seasons in karts,
which included victory in the Junior Gearbox Championship in 2005,
before a graduation to car racing in the Ginetta Junior Championship in
2006.
He switched to single seaters in 2007, taking a race victory in
Formula BMW UK for Carlin Motorsport en route to seventh overall in the
standings - and second in the rookie cup.
He also made a brief foray into the Formula Renault UK championship
that year, contesting the final two rounds at Thruxton as well as the
Winter Series.
In 2008 he remained in Formula Renault, taking 12th in the final
standings before finishing runner-up in the Winter Series with one
victory and three podiums from four races. He also contested last
year's British Formula 3 season finale in a National Class car for
Carlin, taking one victory and one podium.
AUTOSPORT sends its sincere condolences to Henry's family and friends.
