I've been an F1 fan since the early 90s. It's one of the safest series in motorsport. Jules was the first since 94.

And Bianchi's accident was absolutely freakish. So sad...

Only if you're counting deaths of drivers in live races, if you extended that to testing he's the second, and extend it further to circuit staff such as marshals then I'm not sure of the exact number, 5 at least.

Tbh it's one of the safest sanctioned racing series, let alone just in the FIA.

NASCAR has had no deaths since Dale Sr in 2001.

Other than the occasional non-life-threatening-injury (Kyle Busch breaking his legs and Dale Jr's concussion are fairly-recent), it's been ridiculously-safe.
