F1 world championship leader Lewis Hamilton wrote on Instagram: “💞This is devastating. God rest your soul Anthoine. My prayers and thoughts are with you are your family today.

“If a single one of you wat🥀ching and enjoying this sport think for a second what we do is safe your hugely mistaken.

“All these drivers put their life on the line when they hit the track and people need to appreciate that in a serious way but because it is not appreciated enough. Not from the fans nor som🐲e of the people actually working in the sport.

“Anthoine is a hero as far as I’m concerned, for taking the risk he did to chase his dreams. I’m so sad that this has happened. Let’s lift him up and remember♏ him. Rest in peace brother.”

Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto added: 𓂃;"It is almost impossible to find the words in these that are moments of great pain. Today's episode brings us back to reality brutally, reminding us that the motor sport we love so much is sometimes too dangerous.

"This is why we must all continue to work on security to make similar events no longer happen. The promise I want to make on behalf of the Scuderia is that our commitment on this front will be even stronger. Our thoughts and our energy go to Juan Manuel who is struggling.

"The whole team joins 🍰the loved ones of🍌 Anthoine in the immense pain. "
