Correa’s car was involved in the accident that tragically claimed the life of Anthoine Hubert at Spa-Francorchamps on Saturday.
The accident occurred on lap two of the F2 feature race. Giuliano Alesi lost control of his car at Eau Rouge, and Hubert went off in avoidance at Raidillon. His car was then hit at high speed by Sauber Junior Team driver Correa.
The FIA confirmed that Hubert succumbed to his injuries at 18:35 local time, over an hour after the accident, and that Correa had been transported to hospital in Liege. After undergoing surgery for his injuries, Correa remains in the Intensive Care Unit.
