Silence the best way to move on from Jules Bianchi passing according to paddock figures

Two prominent members of the Formula One paddock have said they do not want to discuss the death of Jules Bianchi.

Last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix marked two years since the former Marussia driver crashed, before passing away nine months later.


While Biacnhi's father still seeks answers following the crash, Toro Rosso's John Booth, who ran the Marussia team in 2014, told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that he no longer wanted to discuss the incident.

"It's a chapter of my life that I have ended," he is quoted as saying.

Max Verstappen, meanwhile, who made his F1 début in that weekend's first practice session believies it would be best for everyone if they were to move on.

"If you keep talking about it, you can never close the chapter," said the Dutchman. "Personally, I try to think about it as little as possible."
